Killing C3 Masters will hereafter be called "target the wizard".
Battletech is my first introduction to tabletop games. Just recently got into it (few months ago). Thanks for the video guys!
Our pleasure! We hope to show more games in the future too.
Little known fact: the modern use of C3 (Control, Command, and Communication) is *not* the same abbreviation the DC came up with... Theirs is *Continuously Confusing Contrivance* system.
Folks, a big thanks for another fantastic and clear explanation of yet another fancy BT tech.
Our pleasure! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
This helped a lot and we are going to try it out first with Alpha Strike but I know have plans for classic.
Gonna have to give this a try
C3 BV cost absolutely sucks. Almost to the point of not taking due to the prevalence of ECM. Came across a rule in either battle force or something that isn't main line battletech that translates it to a -1 to hit instead of triangulated complicated computer mess. Also BV was less of a burden. Interesting
Awesome, I love watching your videos for clarification. Sometimes having a second set of eyes helps with comprehension. Quick question, where do I find cbill prices for replacement parts and the like? I have almost every pdf, and I'm having a hard time finding it.
If you have a copy of Techmanual you should be able to find out this information. It is an excellent book.
@@AlphaStrikeWePlay Ah OK, I'll have to pick that one up. I have all the operations books and couldn't find it. Thank you.
So can a red slave take targeting information from a blue slave or only from a red slave or red master?
Does a friendly player ECM disrupt your network or only an enemy network?
Great questions. Allied forces systems all share information. So if red master can talk to blue master then all red and blue can share. ECM acts as ECCM for enemy units only.
Hello guys!
Thanks for your great work! You make learning into BT easier, and way more fun. Appretiation!
Question: when I have C3 network. Dies it cost BV to activate it? On one game we got the problem, that when you have the elements of a C3 network (master and 3 slaves), and you activate it, BV of the said units go up a bit (5-10% as I recall). I can not find the rule for it (ar least it's not mentioned).
Great comment mate. Yes, if you start a scenario where any units in the C3 network are active and designated connected you pay the extra BV. I suppose it is a bit like Bluetooth pairing. 😆
@@AlphaStrikeWePlay Thanks a lot! I look up books (any hint where to start? TW maybe?)
@@hajrakoros Yes, Techmanual covers the BV, while Total Warfare has the rules for C3.👍
@@AlphaStrikeWePlaythis was immensely frustrating to discover after building my first lance with a master slave setup with all 4 mechs using a 3 gun and 5 pilot rating. One of the more knowledgable people had to tell me that I gotta pay an additional 20% of my total army’s cost for 4 mechs which ate up that 3 gunnary skill I paid for. But before we started a 5 hour game with all 4 of my mechs at 4 gunnary I asked to see the ruling… it isn’t in the small rule book that comes with the starter kit, it isn’t in the battletech manual that’s a step below the total warfare book, and it isn’t in the total warfare book… it’s only talked about in the 4th biggest blackest book.

I believe that there is a 2 MM c3 atlas.
Does having a c3i network change a mechs BV?
Yes it does. 👍
@@AlphaStrikeWePlay Where are the rules for the point change?
@@nos2342 In TechManual under C3. Basically you add 5% to each base BV of each unit linked to a C3 system for the battle.
@@AlphaStrikeWePlay So for a 3 linked mechs it's +15% per mech in the lance? Or +5% per mech?
@@nos2342 each unit adds a single 5% to the BV. They are not cumulative.
There was a question that came up recently in a game hosted by a few people i play with in regards to C3 you may be able to help me with this cause we couldn’t find clarification on it.
If a C3 master unit is on the other side of a hill and has no line of sight to a C3 slave unit equipped Mech that is closer to an enemy but with no ECM blocking it but they both can see tge enemy target in the distance but not each other, can the Master unit still get the range bonus from the slave unit?
And about if it was the same situation and C3I equipped mechs? Would that change anything?
Is line of sight required from both the target to the slave AND from the slave to the master?
We know the master has to be able to see the target to shoot at it, and that the weapons have to be within their max range to do so and that the slave unit has to see the target as well for the master to use it but does terrain mess with LOS between the C3 linked units?
(no 23 hex medium lasers!)
C3 itself doesn't need LOS between the networked Mechs.
@@0MoTheG exactly what i thought! thank you sir!
Well i won’t be using this lol
