Title: Mechs of the Black Tigers
Post by: muttley on January 15, 2011, 05:07:11 PM: With permission from BlackTigerActual, I entered the 'Mechs into MegaMek.

You get:
'Rat's Bombardier
Bruce's Hussy
Rhiannon's Hussy

4 'Mechs from the Amaris Empire:
Shark
Vampire
Hecatoncheires
Great White

Warning: I will shoot at anyone except a Kowloonese driving a Hec!

Does anyone (still) have these 'Mechs in a text TRO format somewhere, HM:P style or otherwise? Particularly the Rimjob machines? I've just been re-reading Ghosts of the Dead to try to find them and ~~steal~~ borrow them, hopefully with permission, and I know specs for all four RWR machines have been on previous iterations of this site... but I'm beggared if I can find them on-line anywhere.... :'(

/me checks his HDD for a .pdf that he's had since last June
/me checks the end of the file

I need to do a better job of searching my 'bookshelves' before I make posts. It'll stop me asking for source-material that I already have. ::) :-[ Thanks for the pointer. :)

And yikes - the folks who designed the Great White really subscribe to the Macross/Scott Bernard school of weapons-mixes, don't they? :o Thirty-six SRMs per salvo? Yowch!

Spot on. Most of the old material is located in the downloads. If it's not, let me know. I'm sure I can track it down. The internet is a wonderful place after all. Yo, ho, ho...it's the pirate's life for me.

Post by: docbarr on January 01, 2017, 09:28:55 AM: I know this is a REALLY old post but I just ran across it. Zip folder attachments were empty so I was wondering if anyone did have the mechs in TRO format. Read up on them in the story but was wanting a better picture if possible. Also the RWR ASF mentioned in the story if anyone has them. Thanks.
