Perhaps a European ideal of Libertarianism. US liberal politics is a facade of good will to hide the same pro-corporate agenda pushing that the other party does while hiding behind a facade of moral vitriol. US libertarians believe in enforcing one's own freedoms with force rather than relying on government force to defend your rights. US leftists have no political base in our elections, by design.

Gangster's Paradise, 1st verse.

Schrodinger's remake. It is neither in production, nor canceled, until its release.

My voting disctrict in Omaha is megablue so it'll be a tough fight for them to get it back.

Is that... 5 AC10's in CT? Or a really weird looking RAC20?

I would suddenly feel very sad for the one of them that bottled it up for 40 years, and for the other who obviously has known for many of those years...

How about an awful shambling corpse of a book that's trying to extend the story from a satisfying ending because the publisher wants more books.

Cultural, for sure. I had to tough it out for the first bit, only really liking the detective. But then when all the main characters got replaced over and over, I began to see humanity as the main character, collectively, and then I was hooked, which I'm sure was the intent as the story spans >!all of time in the universe 2 times over,!< It's worth revisiting.

Other direction dude... 2nd dimension. Also that spoiler was for a reason.

You know that shit's gonna peel like a boiled egg

 

8,000 v. 8,000. A star and a reinforced point from Smoke Jaguar take on 5 IS merc mechs with 2 light Clan mechs as isorla. Cored the Bushwacker early before my Mad Dog was distracted by lights in the rear. The Atlas was just getting into the fight when we had to call it. Could have gone either way. Still super pumped for next game.

 

I'm looking to get inspiration for my own writing. I need a hard sci fi series where earth (and earthlike worlds) are too rare, inaccessible, and/or previously spoiled beyond ability to sustain life. Bonus points if it is set on a multi-generational space station or starship without any other options and goes into detail about life support, living space, mineral mining and expansion of the station to accomodate a growing population, and daily life of it's residents.

If anyone remembers Drifter Colonies from Titan A.E., that's what's in my head.

I'm looking for The Martian levels of realism, and I'm fine with a bit of "Unobtanium" clichés if they're not core to the story.

 

Looks like a stand up fight, Commander. 2 companies facing off with equal odds of success. Home-fielders on base have 4 lances plus infantry and aerospace in support, while our attacking force wields equal lances plus armor, jump infantry, and an aerospace fighter in support.

They have the wall advantage on our side, Commander, but I guess the base didn't want lake-maintainance in their budget. We've got a nice cool spot right near our IF# nest egg. We can use both to great effect.

The enemy is afforded more cover, but their greater defense area may be to their detriment, only time will tell.

As always, I'll prepare an after action report to keep you updated on the ongoing fluid strategic state of the modern 3049 battlefield. I have a feeling this data will be sorely needed very soon...

 

Setting up for an epic 44x38in 800PV face-off in preparation for our campaign using these forces. More to follow...

 

4 contestants, 16 mechs. You kill a unit, you keep it. Your unit survives, you keep it. Kill the meat, save the metal. 1 mech repair bay behind CR6 walls to refill armor.

Results: PV-predicted outcome, but several interesting ad hoc lance compositions came into play, with speed generally dictating how lances were broken up. Game was halted in time for 4th place to retain their remaining 2 mechs.

Highlight: Axman boxcars the Wraith with a blade to the cockpit, earning second place from the kingmaker.

 

2 opposing assault lances deployed on turn 4, but by then, one of my infantry platoons died in a building collapse, and the other was gunned down by VTOLs. I couldn't take the objective, but dealt more PV destruction overall, leaving my opponent with a Pyhhric Victory.
