The Second Circuit: A Casual BattleTech Hangout is a chill, low-intensity chat with folks from the Focht's Network Events Team about the world's greatest way do to math on charts that makes big stompy robots shoot at each other. Also sometimes planes.
Stay tuned for new episodes every Monday morning!
Jesse wants to shoot at 'Mechs from space and Scott, Avalyn, and Extended-Range Jo are helping him figure out how. Is there any way to balance it? Turtle Bay. BattleSpace. Strategic Ops. 1000 BattleMech damage! They punched from ... behind! Does the Blue Shield help you? Damage vs Area of Effect? Reflective Armor Superman. Alpha Strike Companion. Jesse going the wrong way. Cruise missiles and artillery. The time in a round. Buildings survive? Chocolate versus red velvet. Having it on a timer. Narrative versus gameplay. Battle Royales. Warship vs Warship. The Hunger Games. Rogue One. Ranges. Nukes.

TSC Ep53: Tokens
Jesse, Scott, and Extended-Range Jo are trying to solve getting game information presented on the table. Movement dice. Enforce the colour? Providing them as a host. Replicators. Immersion. Dice vs chits. Different dice sizes. TMM, elevation, status, terrain. How to standardize? Blue for elevation. Terrain modifiers? Hex frames. A speakeasy. Clix dials. Magnetic devices. Jo doesn't like playing in a furball. Having a GM at a table. An app or a screen. Resistance to digital record sheets.

TSC Ep52: Quads!...?
Jesse, Scott, and ER Jo are celebrating the One Year Anniversary of The Second Circuit by talking about Quads. Quads! Quads? Dougram, Fang of the Sun. Sidestepping. Jesse Two-Legs. 4x heat sinking. The Tarantula is a better looking Scorpion. Elephants, animals, and bugs. Can tanks do the same thing but better? Quads will be better at terrain! QuaDFA. Talons. The AeroGirder. It's subtle but you may notice that we don't like the Scorpion. Turrets and side-stepping versus arms and torso twisting. The Antlion is bad. The Great Turtle is hilarious. There's a stealth Xanthos.
