Since I've had the fortune to enjoy a good number of small and large games this lately, I have also been able to enjoy the things with Battletech that really piss me off. I'm talking about perfectly legal, often crucial parts of the game that when they don't go your way really frustrate you.

For example, my pet hate are failed pilot skills. Not just all failed pilot skills; but the really low ones that when considering the pure chance, shouldn't fail, (Need 3 or 4, roll 2 etc). Sad

They are not game breaking or even unfair, but at that moment they really make you want to eat your own face in frustration. Of course, it is things like this that make the game what it is, and all games are enjoyable in hindsight.

So, people of Mordel's what single, everyday event really annoys you? Be it Pilot skills, ammo explosions, conscious rolls, head shots etc.

i recently had a failed consciousness roll at 5+ loose me an entire game by KOing and then allowing a head cap on a Battlemaster with 80 percent armor remaining.

We had soemthing similar in one of our smaller games. My friends single most powerful mech was hit by a puny weapon (An LB-X) to the head. Failed on a double one and couldn't get the conscious roll while my light mech picked it apart. Infuriating for him, an underwhelming win for me.

Had a good laugh about that one.
