Solaris Skunk Werks 0.6.30 Released

And with it we now have BattleForce record sheets! Get it here.

This is a moment I have been waiting a long time for.  Many thanks go to Catalyst Demo Agent “SkyHigh” for making this recent addition possible.

BattleForce and QuickStrike Made Easy

With easy access to BattleForce record sheets, the gates have been opened to put Strategic Operations to full use.  BattleForce is only the tip of the iceberg.  QuickStrike is a great way to make use of the new record sheets.  You can play fast paced skirmishes or epic regimental slug-fests with relatively minimal setup.  At least you won’t have to fill out countless sheets by hand or bother with the very complicated BattleForce conversion.

An easy way for you to manage your lances/stars is by using the BattleTech Force Balancer.  Get it for free via SourceForge.  You can setup your lances to make the best use of your BattleMechs movement modes.  Another terrific fan produced program.

A great day for BattleTech.  Now get those games running!

    You’re welcome! But you are way to humble in all this since you WROTE the BattleForce conversions into SSW, better take your bows. =)

  2. Brian Said,

    You were the one kicking my butt to get it all done and you did all the printer work. Could not have done it without you.

    Thanks!

  3. Chris Said,

    Awesome stuff! Just posted a link to skunk works and scrapyard on the cellardweller forums. Ill try to get some battletech going with the club.

  4. The Bane Said,

    So, erm, how do I get the BattleForce sheets to work with SSW? I figured out how to open the force files in SSW but after selecting my mechs how do I get them to work with the PNGs?

    Thanks in advance,
    The Bane

  5. Brian Said,

    So long as you have the PNGs in the right spot, the sheets should just work. They should be in the RS directory.
