Most of the content in this you can find in the Alpha Strike Commander's Edition.

Praise that you don't need to buy another version of Classic BattleTech but they are taking advantage with their Alpha Strike series.

Honestly, nice set of rules but its only flaw and sin is that, which BattleTech also suffers from, you need to slowly whittle down the "armor"/"hit points" before you can hit the vulnerable insides or anything crucial. Seems fine when up to cruisers but gets grindy when playing with/against battlehips.

An okay attempt at a BattleTech quickplay rules; in my opinion, they went too far the other end of game design; mech's stats are abstracted so they lose quite a bit of their flavour though the core mechanics are recongnizable if you are coming from Classic BattleTech rules. Still, it has its oddness in its rules e.g. mechs only moving 1" so they can maintain their To-Hit modifier against being shot at so it took away the need to be always mobile and damage is more catastrophic since all those weapons is now boiled down to a single stat. But they kinda fixed that in the Commander's Edition which isn't updated in this version but its own standalone which means I need to buy a new set of rules which are slightly different but "updated". If they did this with Classic BattleTech, CGL would have been metaphorically lynched.

A classic game that hasn't change for decades but it doesn't mean it does not have its flaws. If you want to play this game within an afternoon or even a day, no more than 4 mechs on each side. The more mechs you play and/or the further down the BattleTech timeline (which added more weapons and advance equipment which introduces more mechanics you need to consider), the longer the game will take.

If you ask me, it's ultimate flaw is the way armor penetration works i.e. it's more of a hit point than a single stat to bypass with a high enough caliber weapon.

One of the worse modules I've done. If you are planning to play this, be a bit more flexible.

I'm halfway through with this module. Honestly, I thought the plot was okay. However, the document itself seems poorly edited which led to confusion especially when explaining the Skarband Company and the stats for the Hellwasp Queen.

Also, the thing where the Skarband Company needs to plane shift out. Mechanically, it doesn't fit the plot since Plane Shift just needs one action. So I opted to down the Wizard and have the party rescue and resurrect the wizard to do so. Honestly, I think the Skarband part of the module is the weakest part of this module.

Intelligence gathering and sabotage. Another great module to test those charisma-base skills and stealth.

One of the funner modules for the Avernus Rising series. An exciting vehicle chase scene. Be warned that the players may initiate their own boarding action and attempt to take over the Infernal War Machines. This is followed by an investigative segment which is also one of the more well done invesgation quests in the Avernus Rising module.

Very dramatic module though players may be inclined to fight the cultist chasing them instead of them running.

A much better investigative module than DDAL09-02 IMO.

Reasonable intro module. Only thing is players may give up too easily convincing a crucial NPC to come along.

Murder mystery thing was fine. However, the hint for connecting the murderer to the crime was very weak. I suggest DMs put in a more substantial clue.
