Description
LAST UPDATED IN MARCH 2023!

A self contained mod package that offers everything you need to play exhibition games or campaigns using the Alpha Strike rule set of Battletech (I am working on adding more tools for Classic rules too!). Everything is organized neatly with a carefully selected number of mechs, vehicles, & infantry ready for immediate use! Additional units and their data cards can be found in their respective "containers" placed on the sideboards.

What makes this one different from other Battletech/Alpha Strike mod sets? Well... for starters, everything here is (last I checked) not broken! It should all work "out-of-the-box" for you (if you find something broken, please post in comments below). I have also included some custom cards, models, and suggested "house rules" you won't find anywhere else! Enjoy!

Additional information regarding Rules & Tools for Alpha Strike is available on our forums:

I tried to lock two maps (the old ones with added height levels and trees etc.) and my hover tanks fell through "Archipelago 1".

Good afternoon, MagnusEffect. Thanks for your work on this mod. Can you tell me where I can find the Mechs in the Training Scenario at the back of the Alpha Strike book? I found one of them on a player sideline, but couldn't find the other 3. I'm sure I'm just overlooking something. Thanks for any guidance!

Is there any way to get the pre-made maps to snap to the grid so the figurines snap to the hexes on them properly?

How do you record damage on the record sheets? The pen always seems to be a bit too large.

Apologies. I'm new to the whole Tabletop Simulator scene so this may sound like a stupid statement. My buddy and I have downloaded this so we could play Alpha Strike together (which we have played one game, with a few issues, so thank you for enabling us to play Battletech so far from each other), but some of my assets won't load, some of the starter mech models on the table for example, and I keep getting a Custom Assetbundle window that pops up and even though I keep hitting Import and Update, the number of custom objects in the queue (5 to be exact) to be imported does not go down. I got frustrated and just canceled all 5 so I could explore and get familiar with what was already available, but I'd like to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it, so next time we play everything is loaded in and usable. How do I get the remaining things to import properly and load/render?

Not sure if you are aware, but there is a small list of unit models that are not loading in:

Guillotine
Stinger
Valkyrie
Wasp
Whitworth

Rapier
Sai
Shilone
Stingray
Thrush
Thunderbird
Transit
Trident

Shilone (landed)
Thunderbird (landed)

Everything else I checked seemed to be loading fine, but I'm not sure I checked every item on the board.

Thank you so much. I only recently got into adding mods, but so many are broken somewhere.

Yeah, models are a LOT tougher. I would need to dive into the unity engine and right now I don't have the time to learn how to do that. My recommendation would be to try to find someone who is actively making models in TTS and see if you can convince them to add those models. Might have to be a commission job.

And yeah, those Mechs are generally a lot more obscure. Since they haven't been featured in any of the video games, finding a pre-existing model will be a lot harder.

Best advice I can give is this: If you can't find someone to make them for you, just use another model that looks similar. I always thought the Pouncer sort of looked like an up-tonned Cougar. Why not just use that?

If you do manage to track down someone who can make new models, let me know; I might commission some ideas of my own.

Thanks for your fast answer. I was talking about models, maybe I should have said that. I play with real paper in front of me even when using Tabletop Simulator. I searched around and a lot of the old mech collections are out of date or use very bad models and I wasn't even able to find a BAD looking model of the Pouncer. There seems to be an ebb and flow of how much people are inversted in mods for a franchise, a lot got better, some then died out, new things grow.

@FoAiur Glad to hear it helped you! And yes, adding those should be easy. To be honest, I'm surprised they added post-3050 designs (Wraith) to the introductory box set. I guess that just shows me being old.

No matter, I can add all of those, including the Longbow. Just know that some may not have 3D models to match them.
