@dawfydd from what I’ve heard the cookbook isn’t worth the paper it is printed on, because it’s a lazy collection of (stolen/copied without permission) recipes. It’s like it shows how little love CGL has for the franchise …

At least you got your copy and at least the quality of the components looks to be pretty decent as well.

Did you get the big mech as well ?
I saw someone on Reddit who had painted it to look like the front cover of the Mech Warrior 2 computer game.

@pagan8th I tend to back kickstarters at ‘all in’ pledge levels, because it saves me having to think about what to pick 😉
I also never worried about storage … until I started to run out of space. It’s hard to predict how big things are when you don’t see a physical product in the flesh.

There’s definitely something to be said for companies making more efficient use of packaging that’s for sure. The amount of wasted space is annoying as that means having to unpack everything and find an alternate storage solution just to store things more efficiently. I predict a lot of ‘really useful boxes’ in my future 🙂

I suspect you could play Battletech with hex&counter maps, but I’m not sure if there is any support for that from the official IP owners. It would be nice to have the options though, because that’s always a good thing. Other than that I’d argue you’re in the wrong hobby if you worry about the environmental impact that much.
