Having a few people over for my birthday this weekend. I gave them the options for some games to play, but they overwhelmingly chose to do a Battletech Grinder.
I don’t have the right mix of mechs for that “small” grinder set. So I put together my own small list, taking from the large grinder pdf and favoring ones I had painted. 35 out of 40 are painted.
I just had the Mountain Lake map printed so we’ll use that. Very much looking forward to blasting mechs.

Ty Bomba has been loading up FB wargame groups with AI slop and thinks if you care about artists you suffer from "AI Derangement Syndrome."
Makes me sad that the wargame community isn't as vigilant as the mainstream board game community in condemning this trash.

🇩🇪Apparently you can now watch Wargames(1983) for free on youtube. This isn't some random channel, it's the official YouTube movies thing.

It's interesting how the general public's idea of a #GlobalThermonuclearWar, rooted in fiction, has changed.
#OnTheBeach is definitely an example of the idea of MAD, and #TomLehrer's "We'll all go together when we go!", that was present right up through #WarGames in 1983.
Then in 1984 with #TheTerminator the idea returned that with just enough 'duck and cover!' we might survive a thing that in reality we could not. (They had to make the T-1000 in #TerminatorGenisys ridiculously pause to do banter with its target in order to make it evadable by a human. Killing machines would kill the species stone dead very effectively.)
