Our first run-through of the Tamar Campaign (and DFA Campaign System) is reported on here, each battle being featured as a narrative post.

I balanced both sides to company strength, attempting to mix in a variety of mechs for each side while keeping BV and overall tonnage as balanced as possible. I even spent a fair amount of time balancing overall mobility and mech roles so each side had a different mix of units yet when it came time to choose for a given battle, there was enough to choose from.

the First Battle:

As mentioned, this is meant to be more of a narrative retelling of the battles rather than a strictly turn-for-turn battle report. I figured I would tap into my own creative talents and offer something a little bit more unique. I’ll still include my own take on the battle, out of character, after each narrative write-up and I’ll include a few images from the game, but be warned, I have not painted any of my mechs and in a few instances we have a few mechs that are stand-ins for a mech I did not own.

As a foreword as well- neither of us are Battletech experts. I have quite a few games of MegaMek under my belt, but only recently purchased the AGOAC box set and a few other lances, but my adversary has zero experience outside of two games we played before diving into this campaign. To his credit though he’s picked up the gist of it extremely well and I’ve tried my best to give him extra pointers on overall strategy.
