About this episode
Brent (OMaM) & Zemer (Valhalla Club) join me for our Hard CORE Rulebook Review! We dive deep into the rule changes from Total Warfare, letting you know what we like, what we don't, and what we think in general about where this new rules update will take BattleTech into the future! Special thanks Seneca for sending me the Core Rulebook early from GenCon, and thanks to CGL for sending me the Core Rulebook PDF for review! **Apologies for the audio, still hunting down a very slight echo**Email me: [email protected]:0:00 - Intro04:25 - CORE Games Played
