You could always dig a Chameleon out of somewhere.
Looks like an up-armored Cybertruck.So I ran into this and it's making me nutty.
Hetzer Wheeled Assault Gun (Scout) - Master Unit List
www.masterunitlist.info
This version of the Hetzer is first built in 3014, is used sphere-wide... and has a Beagle Probe in it 31 years before the Beagle Probe is reintroduced. This seems to be the correct date from multiple sources, it's not a typo.
Why is there a cheap Quikscell tank going around with the most advanced electronics in the Inner Sphere three decades ahead of it's time? How?
The emotion is there, but I can't get over how fast the mechs are moving. They seem a bit too, for lack of a better word, anime.
I remember listening to a interview with a writer and he said that they did a lot of math based on their hypothetical armor durability and strength for their myomer fibers. it blew his mind when they came up with yes an atlas can do some hilarious acrobatics while only sustaining minor damage from it.My understanding is that while the video games always had slower, more ponderous motion, the fluff descriptions of Battlemechs -- especially the lighter ones -- always gave them physics-defying agility as one of the reasons they were magically "better" than conventional armored vehicles. After all, Battletech is fundamentally a Western tabletop derivative of Macross.
Tech Manual Page 40 said:Of course, BattleMechs can do more than just turn left or right, or move backwards and forwards. Talented MechWarriors have gotten assault ’Mechs to skip sideways to avoid missiles, executed handstands under carefully controlled conditions, and otherwise tapped some of the often-unused potential of a BattleMech’s limbs for complicated movements.

Well the idea was an artillery unit that could shoot and scoot like nothing else. It is not a front line fighter but have decent armor for protection. Given it has a turret it can fire in a 360 degree circle. This means they could possibly move a lance of four someplace and everything around them is covered.So it can rain its blessings from several mapsheets away and if you send your units after it they will have really hard time catching it. I would keep a ton of ammo reserved for ADA missiles, as air attacks are the most likely counter to it.
Dang...almost 500 pages of BTech goodness!There's been a new fan TRO called Operation Lancaster which recently came out.
