Flechs Sheets >>> v8 v8 contains 'fixes' for automations for rules that've changed in the new official Core Rules. A version of Flechs Sheets with now now-legacy rules from Total Warfare etc. is available here: Flechs-Sheets-TW.web.app Good hunting. ✌️

Most recently, basic network features -- connect with other players and view their units; include their forces in init tracking, sync and lock match settings for participants to ensure someone didn't bring iATMs 'by mistake'...

Lastly, a variety of BV calc fixes plus the bulk of Core Rules changes have been made, with exceptions for some of the newer equipment rules.

Granular controls over random force generation. The 'generate random force' button was originally just for use in debugging sessions but with a little work it's become a new kind of handy.

Do you, a spreadsheet jockey, have home-brew campaign rules too bespoke for anything other than excel? CC now imports and exports human-friendly .csv -- repair units in your tool of choice by just deleting/editing damage entries and re-importing. Same data also available as .json.

Relatedly, Work on updating Flechs Sheets for Core Rules has begun! The dev build here includes changes that affect printed sheets and manual marking: flechs-sheets-cr-dev.web.app Also, Command Console v0.17.11.5.1 now prints legacy bipeds through that url when rules edition is 'Core Rules'.

Saw a post describing this as a grinder alternative — it’s very much not: not for convention play, not for a big group; not for walk up new players (there’s force building). The resemblance is almost entirely just in ‘lose a dude get a dude’.

Freebie #BattleTech scenario/format: flechs.itch.io/the-grinding... A pick-up format lightly aimed at players of different skill levels; a war-game inside a war-game at the NAIS. Some thoughts here: flechs.itch.io/the-grinding...

If anything, minimum experience level is players who’ve played _so many Grinders_ their preferences for casual play is something with at least a little teeth. ✌️

Related to input popover dragging, It's been possible for a long time to manually mark things in the details view even in the middle of an event (!), but that capability was often literally hidden by event panels. No more.

Draggable popovers, smartly placed next to units (Chrome 125+, Safari 26+); and the ability to bounce to another unit to resolve strikes without having to dip into their details.

Random force generation now results in a force that has parity with others forces in match. Random force generation is really just a for me doing tests, but has been handy outside of that. We'll see if this gets massaged further...

Flechs Sheets v7.4.32 includes a preemptive fix for an issue displaying attack roll results in the upcoming Chrome 144 release. ✌️

Flechs Command Console progress... Attack to-hit etc. summaries 👌 Pardon the text-wrap dust around MMLs. 😬 Details: ko-fi.com/post/Flechs-... This one took me on a "fun" detour into the HTML inline-layout spec. Did you know that 'line-height' is actually _preferred_ line-height? 🫠👍

Guys, I failed two cold activation MASC rolls for the same guy last match and he ended up closing the game with a pilot kill.

Me turns 1-15 when there’s a Gauss or LBX on the field, or a Clan ERPPC, or a normal PPC or a small laser or a one point punch from a Cicada chicken nugget arm.

Flechs Command Console v0.14: Improved import handling — ad-hoc unit imports are saved in a 'catalog' included in searches; import whole folders of units for offline use; Chrome users can link to a folder of units w/o import. Safari requirements upped tho. Details: ko-fi.com/post/Flechs-...

A tiny but important item is engine and explosion liabilities. Each of the units here have somewhat beefy-ish armor / internal but are differently robust — note the THR's ammo + XL combo, the ANH's overall explodeyness compared to the Rifleman IIC, and the MAD-3R's solitary unCASEd ammo bin.

Small Flechs Sheets bug fixing detour: Fixed: Deleted forces reappearing after update when using multiple devices. Fixed: Bad pilot skills on .mul import. Fixed: PSR automation setting ignored during attempts to stand.

Flechs Command Console >>> v0.13.2.2 Fixed: Desktop Safari 18.2+: All prints should be scaled to fit US letter landscape. 📐👌
