Anyone out here play Flashpoint Campaigns: Cold War?
I'm thinking about buying it, and noticed it has Play by Email!
I used to play Combat Mission PbEM games all the time.

It was a pleasure to direct and photograph the Cinematics for our newest Mechwarrior release. Doing these trailers always feels like the finishing touch. In the last ten months we’ve done more than 75 minutes of cinematics with an incredibly driven team. Hope you enjoy!

Finished my first Battlemechs last night with a lance of my favourites, Lance commander piloting the Orion with a Marauder, Marauder II and Raven. I did them in my custom colours form Mechwarrior 5. It was a ton of fun and felt very different to my usual Warhammer minis!

Battletech Aces & Alpha Strike in general have really re-invigorated my love for the game.
I wasn't getting time to play Classic, but Aces let's me play campaigns solo and Alpha Strike let's me use more models in shorter play sessions.
I feel like I can finally engage with the hobby the way I want.

The Classic #Battletech hex maps are beautiful, but as I'm learning #AlphaStrike I can see why people love the 3D terrain.
Just using the cardboard terrain from the box and some D&D battle mats make the table look awesome.
Fun stuff!

Finally got to play my #Battletech mercenary campaign yesterday.
Used #AlphaStrike for the first time as I'm learning the rules for an Aces campaign.
Constant bad dice rolls and two devastating TAC's pretty much brought an end to the Black Sun company, but I still really enjoyed Alpha Strike.

The players encountered Atali, the Frost Giant's Daughter, in my Hyborian Age #Daggerheart campaign yesterday, and it was great. Made so much better by the Daggerheart game mechanics.
Began as a social encounter, moved into a fight, and then to a desperate race for survival, all seamlessly.

Fellow #Battletech Aces owners, which model are these extra bits for?
Also, is it easy to convert Edge abilities for the pilot abilities that are in the #AlphaStrike CE, but not included on an Edge card in Aces?

Finally, #Battletech Aces is in my hands!
Probably won't be able to get a game in as soon as I'd hoped, because there is... a lot.
So totally worth the price. High quality all around with so much stuff in the box. Can't wait to start a campaign!
