I picked up some AT Knights and a Warlord to mess about with BT rules and this scenario popped into my head

Nice Warlord loadout: 2x EEEEER LLLaser and LRM9000.

Hope you brought extra heatsinks!

How accurate mech scales were btw? Map is way off scale but are the mechs there in scale more or less? Could swear mechs were also 6mm scale like AT but are they true scale 6mm or all over the scale 6mm like old titans

Not sure really - The Knights and the 'Mechs look pretty good matches for each other I reckon a Knight is about 75 tons In the BattleTech universe...

Old titans weren’t 6mm. I think the Battletech minis are all roughly 1:300, but I thinknthe bigger ‘Mechs are a little small and the smaller ones are too big. Still, I don’t think FASA or Catalyst have ever published the heights of any of the ‘Mechs so it’s hard to say.
