Re: So what unit and it's BV are you proposing? [Re: GiovanniBlasini]
      #154655 - 04/25/09 09:24 AM (24.127.68.31)

In what manner is his Balancer LAM illegal?

Tonnage? the Tonnage of the LAMs were originally not limited to 55 Tons... it was only for the last one or two iterations of the rules that the limit has been in place. If you do nto blast JRE from Vegas for his extra Large LAMs, then there really isnt much point in hounding New Type for it.

Equipment? as long as he runs the equipment through ricks bv generator then the BV should be usable

and if he Generates Three BV, one for each mode, and then uses the Highest BV.. this then works.


That is, provided that he is capable of runnning the BV or BV2 properly

I did a breakdown of the unit and its legality in the Balancer LAM thread. Check it out there for more information.

GiovanniBlasini, I responded to your breakdown of my Balancer. With the Think Tank Life Path I was able to improvise LAM construction.

Do you even know what the Think Tank Life Path is? It's a Classic BattleTech RPG life path that can enable someone to design pretty much anything. Go to this link:
http://www.classicbattletech.com/index.php?action=downloads
Click on Life Path Master Table and open that file. Search for "Great Houses gather" and you should find the Think Tank Life Path.

Compromise: put LAM rules in Tactical Operations [Re: Newtype]
      #154746 - 04/28/09 03:59 PM (207.160.205.13)

Due to how players keep disagreeing as to what book LAM rules should be published in, there's a 50/50 chance of LAM rules being published in a CBT reference book, a 50/50 chance of them being published in an updated Tactical Operations book, and a 50/50 chance of them being published in an updated Total Warfare book. I SAY COMPROMISE put LAM RULES IN TACTICAL OPERATIONS!!!!!!

--------------------
Wow, those bracing maneuvers sure do come in handy when firing proximity fused precision cluster flak ammo at a Balancer LAM. Unfortunately they make my 'Mech an immobile target for that LAM. Oh well, at least I'm getting partial cover.

Your maths are their usual faulty selves, that's a even 150%

How about they appear in no future Battletech books, since they suck!

Still doesn't allow you to break the rules, or make your design in any way legal.

Seriously, someone sat down and tried bringing that to the gaming table, I'm deploying Manei Domini with nuclear Davy Crockett ordinance on general principle.

The chances of already-published books getting revised to include LAM rules in their next publication is essentially zero. Their page count is high enough already. If the developers choose to revisit LAM rules, they'll be published, as Herb I think stated at one point on CBT.com, in an "appropriate book".

Sorry, but you don't add odds like that you multiply them. That would be run the gambit from .125% chance of not being in any of the books to a .125% chance in being in all of the books, of course that is if he knew what he was talking about. The real odds are 0% chance of being in any of the books.

Karagin,

If you find something productive in keeping this thread open for further arguments with HeroChip, send me a PM and I'll unlock the thread. Right now, this thread seems to have ceased being sensible around October of '08 when HeroChip/NewType jumped in and the subsequent X hundred posts have not added to it, so I'm locking it.
