2nd game
New player: Thunderbolt 5SS 3/4, Phoenix Hawk 1D 3/4, Stock Hunchback 3/4
Me: Stock Catapult 3/4, Stock Enforcer 3/4, Stock Blackjack 3/4

Reasoning: This team allows for more team play without overwhelming the newbie with a full lance. This also allows a new player to see the different roles battlemechs have (brawler for the Thud, Juggernaut for the Hunchback, Striker for the PHawk) the mechs can work together, but each has an assigned target it’s designed to go after (the Thunderbolt can bully the Blackjack, showing off it’s brawling, the Hunchback can go internal on any part of the Catapult save the CT, and can rush under its guns, making it a good ‘pick’ for the hunch, and the Enforcer’s terrible rear armor makes it very susceptible to getting flanked by the PHawk). This teaches the player about how to analyze your mech to see what role it should play in your force composition. I was also going to try and relate the mechs to DnD/video game classes to better define their roles: Thud is a tank, hunchie is a barbarian, and the PHawk is a rogue, etc. let the DnD sperging about how wrong that is commence
