Alpha Strike Lance Packs and Box Set – Camacho’s Caballeros

The final installment of my Alpha Strike Company series. These were some of the mechs that were left over and thought I would figure out a way to put them together. This is by no means the last company (I have more mechs!) but this is the last that I have currently configured. Again the goal of this project was to create Alpha Strike Companies using only the Lance Pack and Box Set plastic mechs. Secondary goal was to create companies that are balanced and have flavor. Since I am a mercenary at heart, I felt I would end this with another mercenary company. One of my favorite units the 17th Recon Regiment or otherwise known as Camacho’s Caballeros.

Wolf’s Dragoons vs. FWL – FIGHT!

I was fortunate enough to have a friend agree to start testing out my AS Companies. Tuesday night Wolf’s Dragoons went up against the FWL. We didn’t get a chance to finish the game but in my opinion it was going to end up a blood bath. I was pleased with how balanced and even things were progressing. Gives me hope that they should all play relatively well. Also giving a new base a tryout. I have been in talks with a guy on the forum who 3D printed the bases. I really, really like them. I think it will really help players keep track of their units on the field of battle. I am looking forward to getting the rest of the bases. He was kind enough to print up 24 in 7 different colors. House colors: red, blue, yellow, green, purple and Merc: black, silver. If you notice, there is a slot on the back of the base for a custom whatever, emblem, TMM, both, etc.

Sorry the mechs aren’t painted, I am working on that 🙂

Mission22.com

It has come to my attention that we have a Mission. Mission22.com is bringing awareness about a serious mental health condition that is plaguing our Veterans. Simply put:

“22 VETERANS TAKE THEIR LIVES DUE TO PTSD EVERY DAY. OUR MISSION: END IT.”

While there is not much we can directly do to solve this we can help raise awareness. For instance our family has taken a pledge to do 22 push-ups for 22 days. We had a discussion with our children about Veterans and what they have had to go through. My father is a Veteran and I have many friends who are Veterans. We have many players in our Battletech group that are Veterans. I am proud of each and every one of them. Even those that don’t suffer from this condition need to know that we acknowledge their sacrifices for us and our Country. Please re-post and raise awareness about something that people are silent about. Let us help end this silent killer #Mission22.com
