Nashira Campaign

I wrote this BattleTech campaign specifically for new players getting A Game of Armored Combat and Beginner Box sets. At the time, there was already an announcement of an upcoming Succesion Wars campaign that I thought would do the same, so I impatiently released it myself as a fanwork. Perhaps if I’d had more paitence,Continue reading “Nashira Campaign”

More BattleTech

More random stuff that needed a home. The Combat Manuals (Lite) has been a series I’ve “hosted” just as a forum post for a long time. Making a home for them here.

I’m not competing as I’m “hosting”, but will play if there’s an odd player out that needs someone to play against. I did up some default lance lists for thoseContinue reading “Introductory League”
