    DISCLAIMER:
    TEX TALKS BATTLETECH is a fan-based parody/attempt at education for a setting that deserves much love. Battletech, Mechwarrior, and all other material are owned by CGL, Topps, Tornante, PGI, their various subsidiaries, and a million shareholders (though not harmony gold, fuck those guys). No challenge to their ownership status is being made or intended by the creation of this work. Battletech is owned by the company, but the fanbase is what keeps it alive. Let us hope they forgive us for what fun we have. Tex Talks Battletech is a semi-serious take on Battletech, its setting, lore, and history in an attempt to bring people into one of the greatest franchises ever envisioned and should not in any way represent the official stance of any corporation, conglomerate, megacorp, holding company, or cartel which currently owns the franchise.
    TL;DR: this is the opinion of one guy who loves a setting, and is dead-set on bringing it to everyone who cares to hear about it.

    And if you're like "BOO PATREON", look, I get it. However, every "Crypto Bro" who's gone "Boo Patreon" to me has been not in the giving mood.
    In fact, those who have advocated "Alternative" funding methods have, at the time of me suggesting doing so that . . . they would not be assisting in any capacity. Just that they needed to have a moral victory over patreon. Okay. Cool. Still, moral victories don't let me pay artists to make mad ideas real, like this here. Money does.
    So Patreon is what I got, for now. Patreon made this possible. All the stupid and joy it brought. It made it great. So, even if you're booing Patreon, you can't argue with what I did with it. And I think that's probably the lesson here. Just saying. I dont like patreon any more than any of you guys, I made that statement clear on the podcast/the warhammer video/etc but some people will bitch regardless. At any rate, I'll take gold or iridium too.
    Didn't think so.
    But this big grumble aint about me or my money at all.
    What I'm saying is - if you DONT give to me, consider being a patron of this man. Art is NOTHING without somebody giving a shit and backing them, and maybe ten bucks a month is a movie ticket. Just saying. Was this more entertaining or what you just watched on netflix?
    Good shit, no?

      Landsnekts were often low ranking nobility who, due to not being 1st or sometimes 2nd born, turn to mercenary work. the colorful, poofy clothing was not just the fashion of the time, but the bright colors denotes their status as noble as only people with money buy fancily died clothes and the puffed out exterior helps with enemy sometimes misjudge where to swing their sword. Because they were often used as shock troops, they usually get paid twice as much as a regular soldier at the time.

    • @bardbarbarian5313
      @bardbarbarian5313 2 роки тому +15

      I wanna correct edda a bit. Landsknecht were not shocktroops, but core troops that were trained in formation fighting with use of poleaxes, biedehänder (extremely long swords that one needed an actual certification of training for which would give you dubble the pay, a so called doppelsöldner), arkebusse and crossbows. They were also not even remotely exclusively from nobility, but would instead be hired and trained from local areas. How it worked was that a Kriegsherr (essentially the guy appointed by either the emperor a town or a person of high nobility as the leader and organizer of the regiment) was named, usually someone with an already successful military career, and after he obtained the funds needed and called in Officers to lead and organize the troops, they would hand out pamphlets and would put down a date where everyone who wanted to join the regiment would undergo inspection. Landsknechts had usually rather strict inspection criteria and where expected to pay for their own equippment, though they got paid their first month of wage directly after being accepted. People with military experience or for example with a master letter for the biedehänder got payed several times the money of a normal recruit so the regiments attracted a number of mercenaries, lower nobles and soldiers with experience. Usually a Regiment was organized in groups of 400-500 people with around 100 experienced veterans leading the front.
      it is important to note, that Landsknechts also had their own law enforcement seperate from the rest of the army and that they got payed rather handsomely (lowest position was 4 gulden a month, which to put it into perspective, the costs for living at the time were 1-2 gulden a month. Thus it attracted a big amount of people from lower classes

    Lyran registered mammoth class drop ship makes emergency landing after reentry drive failure, unfortunately it hit the new statue of the Our Glorious Leader Duke Foppington. This is about all witnesses and analysis of recovered recording devices can agree upon, their seemed to be a lot of electromagnetic interference during the event. Some say the dropship was carrying an Assault Lance of Atlases, but even seismic readings don't match with that. No one, not even the battle computers of the Honor Guard, could positively identify the mechs or even if they were mechs. The few survivors talk instead of things like polka music, oktoberfest, ubermench, lederhosen, dirndl, a barmann, a dancing girl or a landsknect, which just doesn't make any sense considering the destruction at the site of the crash.
    In other news scientists are still trying to figure out why our natural satellite suddenly fractured. Most of it will eventually reform over the next several millennia, into a significantly smaller moon. However in the immediate future expect erratic tides and frequent meteor showers. Orbital traffic has been disrupted and several satellites and space stations have been lost, but it is calculated that safe routes can be plotted and implemented within the decade.

    *1.* We don't know why we have an accessory budget for Battlemechs, but it's technically under Form GL236496715, not HF3012034567890.
    *2.* Despite all common sense dictating otherwise, and several revisions of our models, the math shows that using Union Dropships in that way is, technically, economically sustainable, but it makes us work overtime, so...don't. Please?
    *3.* Some Atlases are over-priced for the tonnage they provide: as such, we recommend switching future scout squadrons to the much more reasonably priced King Crab.

      If it goes fast enough I suppose it would? The main issue is speed versus size: A large object impacting needs less speed to do damage, but is harder to get going in the first place. A small object however at sufficient speeds will do the same amount of damage, but its a constant battle against wind resistance and gravitational pull.
      TLDR: Theoretically if you threw Governor Fatass hard enough he could break a planetoid. The problem is humans arent meant to be used as projectiles, and its gonna fall apart into millions of little chunks rather than connecting as one solid object. This is just me talking out of my ass with a a baseline competence in Newtonian physics and Ballistics, I'm no expert.

    How has no one mentioned the Urbie having a beer at 2:12 yet!? It's such a cute and wholesome pic.

    That was just so beautiful. Brought a tear to my eye. I've missed those crazy krauts

    I don't think I will ever tire of the Steiner scout squad.

    More than anything else in this video, I love the idea of a death sentence being delivered in the form of beer and a pretzel. To hell with your stereotypical black roses or whatever.

    These skits and cartoons are like newspaper funnies for the 31st century. It’s great!
