I have only been playing tabletop for just over a year despite learning of BT back in the 80s & playing MW2 shortly after release. I have heard reference to Protomechs from other content creators & mainly how they are very overpowered & unbalance the game. I definitely see this & thus far in what I've read in the lore as I'm currently reading Sword & Fire where they were introduced they were a very difficult challenge for even heavy mechs to take down. I love BT for the stompy robots & feel that whether it's Protomechs, Aerotek, or artillery if it takes the spotlight off of proper mechs it isn't good for the game. I'm all for combined arms even if that means using mechs that have specific roles, but these buggers do seem to be ridiculous when it comes to the rules, & don't see why you would take mechs if you are competing & playing to win. You two seem to be in love with these things & whike I haven't finished this video yet it sure doesn't sound like you believe there is any drawback to game balance etc. Anyways I enjoy your channel & subscribed, & look forward to continuing to learn about this game & universe.

Question: I have TW now, and looked up Protomechs. The Frenzy damage only goes to.9 tons, but Protomechs go to 15 tons
Question becomes... Elementals or Protos? Can we get a video doing some tactical comparisons?
This is a must!
The hit location table changed and wasn't addressed. What's up?
More rules more crunch
