  1. I worked out the secret to M7 ages ago. DON'T WATCH IT
  2. I'll second a Cats Eye. Even though I have an original and a recast (which by the way both suck for what they cost) I'm sure your product would be far superior.
  3. Rolling Thunder, a unit in Battletech uses a similar motif. Here's a scan. It might be a bit clearer as the image is almost full page in the book. It has the face of a banshee though but I'm sure a clever clogs at photoshop will be able to fix that
  4. He said may, not doesn't (big difference) so are you blind or something! Gee it would be nice to have a thread, any thread where the "I know more about HG lawsuits (or insert any other japanese company's name) than you do" experts flooded the boards with speculative crap
  5. It hasn't affected canon in any way. The mechs are still usable in the game, it's only their images are not allowed to be used. The mechs are not rare. Originally they just re-published the TRO's with the offending mechs removed then they later redesigned the image which let to the god awful Project Phoenix mechs then in the Phoenix Upgrades TRO (I think) they just used blacked out silouettes when refering to the unseens. I think unseen comes from the fact you can still use the figures and specs but can't officially publish any images.
  6. I think you'l find they are kits, at least that's what HLJ are calling them.
  7. WFT does any of that have to do with Battletech was my point That's why I prefer to use standard configurations. Munchkins ruin the game. You were only ever allowed to do both physical attacks in the original rules, all revisions from the Compendium onwards only allow one or the other. For that one trick pony to work your opponent would have had to have been a noob or a total plonker who didn't understand the game and where's the fun in that.
  8. There is no mechanism in the game that allows for re-rolls so those playing him are not that up with rules either and I find it amazing that you can bag someone and you're not even sure it's the same person you're thinking of I'll bite on the abbreviations though, what's AD&D & THACO ?
  9. Pretty harsh statement to make when you don't know the rules yourself Correct. Heat is the second last phase in the turn. Just as note, there are plenty of non custom (standard) mechs that are capable of jumping or running their max distance, firing all weapons and ending the heat phase with zero heat.
  10. Were the hell has everyone got the idea it's a Guard re-issue No where has it EVER been published that this is a Guard rehash. Sure it will be either a fighter or battroid unless they are planning to really bowl everyone over with a gerwalk (wishful thinking)
  11. I'm a blonde female car driver so of course I'm serious
  12. Freebirth was part of the Twilight of The Clans series but it was a continuation of the story of all the characters from Thurston's previous Jade Falcon books. If you get a chance you should read I am Jade Falcon ( it continues on where Falcon Guard left off and expands on my favourite, Joanna) and Falcon Rising (which is also part of the Twilight series) which closes out most of the loose ends from the previous 5 books but unfortunately leaves a lot of what ifs that make you hang out for at least another book. Who knows with the resurgance of Battletech over the last few months we might just get the last book.
  13. His geneseed & bloodname are Clan Wolf exclusive so they got all they deserved Have you read the rest of the Jade Falcon novels by Thurston, I am Jade Falcon, Freebirth & Falcon Rising? Pity he didn't write more.
  14. Not quite with you there Kerensky left for the periphery on Operation Exodus in 2784. The Star League was disbanded 3 years earlier in 2781 and Kerensky was stripped of his title of Protector the year before that, so how could his leaving the IS have anything to do with the Star League falling apart? I don't think he "inadvertently" formed the Clans as it was his idea all along to form something similar to Star League and eventually return to sort out the IS. And of course none of the IS states wanted "the entire pie to play with" did they
  15. Girls, girls, girls. This is supposed to be a thread about Battletech. CGAF about Mac Plus or Kawamori so leave them out of it. I'm sure there are 100's of other threads where you can wax lyrical on the pro's and con's of Plus and other peoples toilet habits, so stay on topic or get lost
  16. How has the conclusion been reached that just because the Minmay Guard hasn't changed that the new kit is the same one
  17. You don't like furry elves and space whales but you think big bird is okay Mac 7 & Zero were both written after one too many puffs of the wacky tobbacy
  18. This isn't helping the original question but diesels have been using fuel injectors long before they were used on petrol engines. As to the original question; I'd be looking for a new brother in law. Due to the strange mixture of fuel your equally strange brother in law ran your car on, he could well have blown the head gasket which could lead to the temp light coming on as it could be allowing combustion blow by into the coolant jacket.
  19. You know what sh!ts me is people who start crap topics like this then never show up in them again
  20. My response wasn't aimed at you, sorry should have been clearer.
  21. um.... how does the frame get damaged if the armour doesn't???
  22. Someone's confusing real world with game world. You fall over you pay the price and one of the only ways to represent this is to take damage and as the armour is the first line of defence it takes a hit. How else are you going to do it??? It's a game mechanic, nothing else. It never ceases to amaze me when people start referring to real world physics in games and anime. Leave it for the class room
