Alpha Strike - Chaos Campaign: Part 5 Assault
Переглядів 380Місяць тому
Part 5 and the finale of my solo Alpha Strike Chaos Campaign using the free Battletech “Succession Wars” Chaos Campaign PDF. Numbers and some advantages in the setup conditions are on our side, and this looks like the last stand for House Steiner’s defenders. But if we get cocky and they manage to destroy half of our mechs, this one is going to be a slog with a return to “Counterattack.” #alpha...
Alpha Strike: Chaos Campaign Part 4 - Breakthrough #battletech
Переглядів 104Місяць тому
Part 4 of my solo Alpha Strike Chaos Campaign using the free Battletech “Succession Wars” Chaos Campaign PDF. Momentum is favoring the House Davion planetary assault force. This time, they only need to slip pass a defensive cordon to win the day. But with slow mechs and a slight advantage in overall numbers, is it worth the risk to slug it out with the bloodied Lyran defenders? #alphastrike #me...

Alph Strike - Chaos Campaign Part 2: Pursuit
Переглядів 1002 місяці тому
Episode two of my Alpha Strike Chaos Campaign from the alternate Battletech rules set. The Davion strike force is routed from the field and at risk of being shoved back to their beachhead. A strong show of resistance now may be the momentum they need to push this assault in the right direction. #battletech #alphastrike #mechwarrior #sologames #wargaming

Here’s the bookkeeping and setup for a short Chaos Campaign in the Battletech “Alpha Strike” rule set using the FREE “Succession Wars” introductory document. We’ll eventually end up running 6 missions in the series here, but this episode will give you a feel for how the campaign play works “under the hood.” #battletech #alphastrike #mechwarrior #chaoscampaign #wargaming #sologames

Best of success against our little bot! 😁😃
@@tabledropzone Thanks! It always gives me a good workout!
Our money was on the TDZ Bot :). It is very fun to see our little app in action like this. Glad to see it performing so well to create a quite exciting game 😁👍
@@tabledropzone Thanks so much for tuning in! Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your work on the Bot App and for making it available for free to the community 🙌🙌🙌
@@TheYoungKing45we are happy that we are able to add value 😁👍
2:36 as someone who is STILL studying the lore and having been familiar with BattleTech/MechWarrior for almost 30 years, it's alot to take in, that being said, the way the map is set up the simplest explanation would work best i feel: the planet is just simply a volcanic world that hasn't quite formed yet, those do exist in the BattleTech universe, they're fairly common not only in the setting but in real life, countless planets that just don't have an atmosphere and are nothing but obsidian and lava :D
@@st4rm4st3r That makes total sense. I wanted to step away from doing “desert planet” for a change even though it’s an easy go-to. I mean, OUR solar system is, when you think about it, mostly just a bunch of desert and gas giant planets.
@@TheYoungKing45 indeed, but sometimes on rare occasion, what happened to the earth when the moon was created, some planets never solidify and thus lava is a perfectly valid map style, though sadly it's never used that often in BattleTech games, my guess for two reasons: first it's really hard to find terrain that fits ash and obsidian that's in 6mm scale, second, while this isn't largely an issue in Alpha Strike, in Classic/Total Warfare, 'Mech fights on a volcanic planet are absolute hell, especially if your 'Mechs heatsinks are either poor quality or non-existent, your MechWarriors are likely going to slow-roast inside their cockpits lol
I've played battletech solo for decades. Aces is completely unnecessary.
@@bruced648 I think I see where you are coming from here: there were certainly times during my solo games that smart choices were pretty clear and straightforward without the aid of behavior cards or an app. That said I do enjoy being surprised by using those tools, and that they have a lot of potential to model distinct opponent behaviors.
Interesting, I've been looking at ways of running enemies in a solo campaign, will have to give thw bot app a try
@@GoastLincoln Both are great (with different niches as noted)! And the best part about Tabledrop Bot is that you can go use it right now for free!
The app will stay free. Maybe if we feel like it we will add more things to it. There is also a "paper version" (a printable pdf rule book) in case you prefer paper. However, we out more work into the app. 😁😁
i love giving mine the 15% speed boost upgrade and skulking in big arena matches
Great vid. Thanks.
Two new companies going at it. What other 4 mechs does each teams have?
@@ooftaZone This time through I’m just doing a one-off mission, so in this case all the mechs are on the board. I kept it lighter than usual since I was still getting used to the AI tool.
Good Game In general, Track cost is percentage based off the primary Objectives. PCs are to look at using Options (increasing game difficulty) and Salvage of other BattleMechs to increase their wealth. After the second game. Just salvaging one Lyran mech and adding it to the Fed Suns company. Bumps SP conversion from 3 to 4 per WC. Being Federated Suns and tech level. Total conversion could be around 7 SP to every 1 WC.
Some folks may like post vid on where your Warches/Supply points are at. Salvage, repair/sales, purchases and so on.
Is hard not knowing when is good time to just run. Had games as GM early on in the Track. Hit two of PCs BattleMechs with Double Crits taking Gyro and Engine out of both mechs. Brutal situation. Though players are always hopeful next round dice will be in their favor to pull things off.
@@ooftaZone This is really the perfect campaign setup to train anyone on when it’s best to simply bug out of a fight!
Chaos Succession Wars Tracks are more written as 1v1 pick-up like situation. Not so much as GM vs PC or full on narrative. Hence missions are balanced. Other narrative source (Turning Points or older material) tracks could be somewhat unbalanced.
Cool, cool. Will check on any previous vids. I'm GMing 3151 Chaos campaign too. Only wish had more players. The missions in it are very balanced in Chaos Succession Wars download.
@@ooftaZone That’s awesome! Yeah, the Succession Wars doc keeps things pretty tight so that both sides stay competitive. I think I would have liked a bit more wiggle room in points - but I think it WANTS you to be scraping the barrel if you have to go to mission 6.
I really like your campaign! Your videos are enjoy able please keep them up! Also I have been wanted to do a solo campaign but I don't know were to start. Is there any chance you can make some behind the scenes videos explaining the rules and how it works. I am a audio and visual learner so reading all the rules takes a very long time! Also I love your game board! Great work!
@@andrewd3799 Thanks so much! Glad someone is getting enjoyment out of these! Absolutely, I’d love to cover some of the nitty-gritty behind how I ran the campaign. I know other UA-cam creators have done awesome deep-dives on the Chaos Campaign document, but seeing the precise steps can be helpful.
when i got the night star from the campaign i was so dissapointed bc i already had a full lance of kingcrabs and it seems the night star wasnt gonna cut it even tho it is a really cool mech, it just looks too much like a shadowcat
I can't help myself, I love it too much. This is a gauss house.

Very interesting video. Never saw/played a solo session of any kind of TTRPG. Let's hope Gail's adventures go better in the future =D
Always a rough road for these poor Nomads! Glad you enjoyed the vide. I've been kicking around the idea of sharing a few more solo game playthroughs - mostly to hold my own feet to the fire and play them more often.
I think the region scanner tables need some work, to make them yield sensible results. Way too much possibility for contradictory results.
Thanks for sharing a playthrough! I'm looking forward to giving it a try, as well as ORE once I get the hang of Breathless solo. Your game is just dripping with atmosphere and immersion.
Thanks so much! Always glad when folks are interested in taking a stab at ORE and would love to hear how it goes when you get there.
This actual play of Nomadic is simply incredible. The video is very well done, the voice is clear and your experience playing the game is inspiring! 💞
