I recorded the video of my match vs Carlos. I talk about the tactics I'm using and chat with Carlos as we play. I'm by no means a professional streamer so please be kind to an old man. :)


Enjoy!

P.S. I'm working on a BattleTech tactics guide that I'm hoping to post soon. As soon as I get it showable, I'll post a link to that too.

Interesting match!

I've been avoiding the streams like the plague to keep the singleplayer as fresh as I can, so multiplayer matches like this are awesome.

Cheers!

It was really cool to see how Eck was able to recover from having his Kintaro trashed in the beginning rounds. I honestly didn't expect that mech to last as long as it did. Also amazed at how effective Carlos' Firestarter was at wrecking a Jagermech. I wouldn't have expected that to be possible. Overall a great, and entertaining match!

Yeah, the stock Jagermech has paper thin armor (for its size). Plus he kept DFA'ing and hitting me like a jerk.

It's funny how sturdy a mech can sometimes be. He wrecked one side so I was sure to offer up the other as a target to prolong the Kintaro's existance. I think I slipped up one round because the tabletop record-sheet flip is so ingrained in my brain.

Oh man that accidental brace really killed some great tension that was building up. Sorry to see your match wrecked that way.
Agreed. If that misclick hadn't happened, Carlos might be the proud owner of the first Eck multiplayer defeat. :)

Bidding away non-Stock Mechs, announcing one's Lance Composition, as well as advancing rapidly to contact without a Reconnaissance Effort... are all luxuries that will come at a rapidly steepening cost, especially as the playing-field will increasingly become more and more level, post 24APR.

Here's to seeing our gameplay rise, and in turn compel even greater heights of BATTLETECH Mastery from Chris Eck. #EverybodyWINS! :

Uoo!! Thanks for the video and the side comments, really nice to know ways of thinking of Mr Eck, the unbeaten.

PS: nice armor in the back, crazy me but I was expecting it to suddently move and say Ni or something similar...
