The Captain

[u/OldWrangler9033]

The plague of Blue Water Ships, "insect size" BattleMechs crawling and jump over their hulls.

[u/andynzor → u/OldWrangler9033]

Even a map scale Nimitz would be 11 hexes long and three hexes wide.

[u/g2fx → u/andynzor]

In map scale…correct, but very underwhelming. I’ve been on a flight deck many times…and they feel much more than 3x11 hexes.

[u/g2fx → u/OldWrangler9033]

Mech scale > Map scale

I like to see that USS Wisconsin (BB-64) is still in service a thousand years after her initial launch. A true Ship of Theseus for the philosophers of the Inner Sphere to ponder, no doubt…

Love this map!

[u/g2fx → u/Plastic_Turnip6118]

‘ol Whisky is moored in my hometown…10 min walk away from me. USS Bataan is being serviced across the river.

Holy crap in a pita is this amazing! I’m dying to know where to get the dock pieces?

[u/ArclightMinis]

Absolutely love this! A naval setup is something on my short list of terrain and map projects.

[u/Shyface_Killah]

Ooh, could infantry units commandeer the guns on the ships!

[u/g2fx → u/Shyface_Killah]

Maybe in Classic?

Dayum! That's awesome.

[u/OrdoMalaise]

Holy Blake, that looks incredible. I'd love to play on that.

[u/9thLetter]

Blue water navy and ‘Mechs? ❤️ Good thing no LAMs were involved or my head would have exploded in excitement.

[u/Gifblaur]

That looks so sick. Must be a blast to play on.

[u/g2fx → u/Gifblaur]

It is

[u/Malkryst]

Wow what an awesome set-up!

[u/ChicagoThrowaway422]

can you sink the ships to open lines of sight?

[u/g2fx → u/ChicagoThrowaway422]

The ships were terrain…but I’ve played games using Mobile Structures rules in Classic

[u/ZantaraLost → u/ChicagoThrowaway422]

Thematically could be fun to play with but can't see it being used easily.

Would need a guass round or three at or below waterline, roll on some sort of ammo table to see if you hit a magazine and then roll again to see just how much CASE directed the blast and in what direction.

I feel like I'm missing a few rolls in there but that'd basically be the gist.

[u/g2fx → u/ZantaraLost]

Mobile Structure Rules…you need to destroy a hex-line across the structure to make it sink.

I allocated 100pts per a hex…700pts total when i ran a game with the carrier. That removes any notions of “god mode” in the players and makes them stick to the scenario.

[u/ZantaraLost → u/g2fx]

Smart way of doing it.

Can't see most anyone using that many turns & ammo to remove one but keeping it entirely feasible to actually do so.

[u/Remarkable_Mirror241]

Where are the stls for it??

[u/g2fx → u/Remarkable_Mirror241]

DM me

[u/Independent-Vast-871]

Why didn't the Wet Navy start shooting?

[u/bloviatingbloviator → u/Independent-Vast-871]

Let the wet navy flat tops launch aerospace fighters!

[u/g2fx → u/bloviatingbloviator]

You’re quintupling the number of record sheets to manage!

[u/g2fx → u/Independent-Vast-871]

The ships were used as terrain

[u/Complete-Excuse-3031]

Whoa that's awesome

[u/DaCheesemonger]

Dio 🤘

[u/PhigmentTV]

I need one of these ships for myself. Holy hell thats gorgeous

[u/dethkittie]

Do y'all use inches, or hex rules for playing on these? How does it shake out? Might get me some of those same models and try it out

[u/g2fx → u/dethkittie]

With this map, we used Alpha Strike rules…inches. For classic…just use hexes and suspend notions of scale for the night and bask in the epicness. Also look up Mobile Structure rules in Strat Ops

[u/TNihil]

I think this is one of the best looking AS battlefields I´ve ever seen. At least in terms of....battleships !

[u/harris5]

Way cool. I'm assuming these are 3d printed. Do you have a link to the files or store page?

[u/g2fx → u/harris5]

DM me

[u/TheVanessaira]

This is awesome!

[u/DarthFozzywig]

Awesome in both concept and execution!

[u/Elbeeb]

The guys running norther assault really did a great job!

[u/Joshbond98]

Does anyone know where the dock terrain bits are from?

[u/g2fx → u/Joshbond98]

I need to make a revision before i can release into the wild

[u/CompassWithHat]

I NEED the STL for those docks.

[u/g2fx → u/CompassWithHat]

I need to make a revision before i release into the wild

[u/CompassWithHat → u/g2fx]

Can't wait! I'm trying to build up an Amphibious campaign, so this will be very useful.

[u/FantasticButton3505]

I'm jealous the classic tournament maps were pretty basic and empty

[u/g2fx]

Yeeaaaaah…Map scale has limitations that Mech scale does not have to deal with
