Mercenary Hunchback IIC and BlackJack Omni.

Also a Hunchback IIC and a customised BJ2-OA.

Backdrops by the awesome @handiworkgames.bsky.social :)

Capellan Confederation forces emerging from the jungle (with one as yet undetected radar blip far right).

Dan, Josh and Bob plotting the downfall of the 12th Vegan Rangers.

The road into Lexington…

ComStar and the Rangers airbase, just outside town.

A few scenes from last Saturday’s #battletech #alphastrike all-day game at Peterborough Wargames Club.
