    Ep:66 - You Have 20 Seconds To Comply

    It's May again so that means it's time for the Coolant Pod's annual trek to Detroit and try to avoid getting shot while rolling our own crits. In this episode, Pirate and Tweezer recount our weekend at Motor City Mayhem 2026 and all the explosions and hilarity that ensued there.

    Ep:65 - PBI's

    Sometimes it's not all giant stompy robots which win or lose your game of Battletech. Occasionally it's just some dude on foot with a gun who wasn't even supposed to be here today that players pin their game hopes on. We have a special guest, Inypt, on this episode to talk all about infantry and how to use them in both Alpha Strike and Classic.

    EP:64 - Brian Caches and Dragons

    Not all games of Battletech are turn based tabletop wargames, some of them involve nothing more than a character sheet and a bit of imagination. In this episode the Pod goes through creating RPG characters for A Time of War and then Traveler. Join us with special guest Jason Hansa as we dive into the roleplaying side of the BT universe.

    Ep:63 - The Periphery's Most Introverted Superpower

    In this episode, we try to talk through the Outworlds Alliance - one of the lesser known periphery powers which has become a much more integral part of the storyline since merging with a certain flock of Ravens. We'll cover history of both of these factions independently and what happens after they get together, some key units and paint schemes of course.

    Ep:62 - Ibuprofen and Energy Drinks

    Brawl in the Bluegrass 2026 has come and gone for this year. Special correspondent Jason Hansa joins the pod to talk about his and Pirate's experiences playing in the event and just the overall weekend experience. It's a long one, so buckle up buttercup.

    Ep:61 - We're On a Mission from God

    We may not be trying to get the band back together, but good mission design is a key feature that can make or break a game of Battletech. In this episode, we discuss some of the key elements that make good missions and we go over the Brawl in the Bluegrass 2026 mission pack (albeit with recommending a few changes during recording that made it to the final version of those missions).

    Ep:60 - Sweaty Betty

    What happens when you get a bunch of try hard, win at all costs gamers together with no restrictions? Or just walk outside in Alabama in late July? Buckets of Sweat. But what does that mean really? And how should players or organizers approach an event where it can show up? Jesty, Nitro and Pirate dive in to share our thoughts.

    Ep:59 - Rise of the Shogunate
