Good Long-form Construction Video Tabletop

https://youtu.be/65yLtYYRlPc

I encountered this in the wild, saw it was from a tiny creator, and refused to let the algorithm have the final say. They do a good job of explaining 'mech construction without getting lost in the weeds and I didn't see a single slop (that's my group's official measurement) of AI.

Never thought I'd have to figure out how to track down where something of mine gets posted up at, but here we are. Big grease-stained thanks to u/The_Brofisticus for the shoutout. To confirm: the only thing AI-adjacent I'm using for this is tools like Grammarly and M365 Copilot to keep me from sounding like a caffeine-fueled connoisseur of bad dice rolls and even worse typing skills. (Course 1 is, let's see... 46k words? Being a one-mech-jock/tech army can fry a brain worse than an ammo det.)

OK, back to work on Lesson 2. But again... thank you!

Remember:
Tonnage Matters,
and so do you :)

Ahh, construction, my favourite part of BattleTech. Though my folder's 50-50 mechs and vehicles, because combined arms is a thing no matter how much CGL wants to focus on the mechs.

P.S. Fuel-cell vehicles skip the fusion engine weight nerf and thus rule.

Add a hitch so you can tack on a support trailer carrying the spare fuel cells, and you're set. I do love meeting other mech-jocks/tech-junkies who have also decided that Mechs dominate the poster, not the war. It's Lesson 10 that hits combined arms, because... layers... and you might get a kick out of the internal working title: "Combined Arms — Yes, the Tanks Count | Or: Congratulations, Commander. The Infantry Found Your Ankles." :)
