  • Perfect Hobby Podcast

    A gold standard of hobby podcasting, this has been a great show for getting into Battletech and learning about the hobby. Episodes are paced well, and it’s easy to jump around and “research” topics or just listen in sequence. The hosts all seem like great people that you would want to game with.

Ep 99: Conventional Infantry
Q: So, I've thought a lot about this like a lot, because they are so central to Battletech's roots. Should we change our games?
Yes, I think we need to change the rules to be standardized across all infantry units to make them easier to use.
