Hey all, been awhile since my last installment discussing some of the various flavors of tactics I use while playing BT. This current one relates to controlling the battlefield to maximize terrain to give yourself a statistical edge in every game you play. Check it out here: http://www.ourbattletech.com/2011/tactics-discussion-terrain-denial/. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts and any experiences using the precepts of this strategy in your prior or future games.

It was a great piece. I really appreciated the statistical breakdown of the to-hit w/ modifiers. A perfect illustration as to why terrain usage is so important. Definitely an art and a science - one of those, "practice makes perfect" bits. Thanks Klink!

Thanks! Initially I wrote it without the statistics portion and I just felt it was missing something. I tried to keep the stats down to a minimum, while still illustrating that getting that extra +1 can really be huge, especially when we're talking about numbers between 6-8 because each increment has a huge impact on the likelihood of a hit. I'm glad you like that part.
