I think this may have been addressed already and I have gone through all of threads several times but can't find an answer.

After original force creation and before first game, we can use WCP for further customizing mechs in our force, correct?

That SHOULD be a negative.  You have to wait until after the first game to do so.  One of the benefits of the Logistic Priority is that it allows you to start the game with customized units.

I'm heading up to Canton for Xmas in...about 3 minutes.  I'll check over the rules text.  But the above was the intent.

So.  Uhh.  It may only matter for the two of us - but for the purposes of being VERY sure, the Flamberge C brings its own Artillery and TAG to the field.

It would be treated like any other artillery-carrying unit.

If there's no zell in the scenario, you can bring it, use it, and blow people up to your heart's content.
If there's liberal zell in the scenario, you can bring it, but you cannot use the area-effect weapons on it unless/until zell is broken.
If there's strict zell in the scenario, you cannot bring it at all, and would have to bid it away during the bidding process.

Also, the availability date on the Flamberge is 3077 for the actual production model.  Only the partial wing prototypes existed in the 3060s, and they were shelved from the mid 3060's-3074.  So the Flamberge should be a moot point anyway.

Okay. So I know which star will be bid away first for that mission....

quick question for bv purposes how do I calculate a mechs bv prior to the pilot or is there a bad pilot that need to be in there of say 3/4 as we are clan? I'm not sure if my numbers reflect it or not if not I'll need to rework the mechs bv

If it's a custom Mech, you let SSW calculate the BV with a 4/5 pilot.
If it's a canon Mech, the BV you use is the BV listed next to it on the MUL (or in SSW).

No Mech BV should be modified by pilot/gunnery scores in this campaign.

Improved jj yes or no I don't have the book with those in it

Also on another note when you say mech class different then avatar for star commanders do you mean can't have 2 Timberwolves one as your pc and the other a star commander or they can't be two heavies in general or is it two of same variant like 2 timberwolf a

Do pulses get tc bonus but can't make called shots or do the tc not work period with pulse weapons

Tc stated direct energy or ballistic is to be used as pulses are not direct fire weapons is it safe to say they do not get a -1 buff or when it refers to direct fire weapons is that meant only for the called shot portion of the tc rules

I'm thinking it doesn't work per the wording but wanted to make sure the errata was not geared toward that specific section

Already asked this.  You can have two twolves, but not a mech with a command cockpit

[Riegien]

What is the type of weapon on a pulse laser?

[Ice]

pulse are labeled as p

pg 113 tw says can use tc except for called shots

[Jiraiya1969]

If you choose an elite bloodname, locking your piloting and gunnery at 2 each, do you still allocate two of your picks to the skills column?

Are the spas a sixth column, or do they correspond to the bloodline pick?

Do you have to provide your own 'Mechanics miniatures? Select a clan? Does being a particular clan give you special abilities?

Pardon all the questions, but I have never quite been able to wrap my brown around how the war chest system works.

Thanks in advance.

The clan you pick limits you to the mechs available for that faction via the mul doc earlier in this thread

The blood name is for your star commanders not your pc avatar that's where that comes into play

Spa are the xp column selected each selection can only be taken once

[phlop]

I believe most will be providing their own mechs. There is a thread for making a IWM run, or you can purchase your mechs through a run over there yourself, ebay purchase or other forums that offer sales of miniatures.

Nothing special about the clan choice other than some clans have mechs that are unique to that clan. As stated use the MUL through Catalyst Games site.

depending on what you need try posting it here as well someone may have extras to sell
