Monster Rancher Battle Card: LackeyCCG Plugin

LackeyCCG is 100% Free - It runs entirely on donations, much like LegendCup - and the MRBC Mod for it is also free. Another benefit of LackeyCCG over TTS, is that it is portable, and requires very little resources so even a potato computer can run it.

https://legendcup.com/mrbc-lackeyccg-plugin.php

This update replaces a 10+ year old legacy plugin with the revised images, new translations, additional board/player features, support for transparencies (rounded corners, tokens etc.).

The rules of the physical card game are identical to the PS1 game but includes additional cards never released in the west!

Alegro Wreckers

Formed: 3025

Disbanded: 3064

Parent Command: Independent

Formed on a Outworlds Alliance border world in 3025, the Alegro Wreckers began life as a Alegro Defense & Consulting, for-hire military engineering unit working to bolster the planet's defense in the face of percieved force buildups from both the Federated Suns and Draconis Combine in the buildup to the 4th Succession War. While fears of an invasion never panned out into full scale conflict, the '20s saw the company become successful enough to amass a small stable and conventional force as 'security assets', and profitted handsomely along the peripheral edges of the Federated Commonwealth's new holdings as both a private military company and construction contractor. In 3045 the company changed its name to the Alegro Wreckers and formally registered with the MRBC as a mercenary unit.

The company spent much of the Clan Invasion performing emergency reinforcing and engineering actions just ahead of the clan front, bolstering FedCom defenses or scuttling targets deemed too valuable to fall into the invaders' hands days before planets fell. Following the truce at Tukayyid, they continued to work along the border with the clan occupation zones. In 3064, while overseeing the construction of a refinery on the planet Chahar, the Wreckers were taken by surprise by forces from Clan Jade Falcon as they invaded the world. While the Wreckers fought a brief battle to maintain control of their worksite, their two lances of battlemechs were left crippled or destroyed. The remaining Wrecker military personnel joined with the planetary militaria to perform a fighting retreat off-world, and the company entered into bankruptcy proceedings the following year.

The Alegro Wreckers specialized in urban combined arms tactics and site defense and security. At their peak in 3062, the Wreckers were comprised of 2 lances of medium and heavy mechs, 1 company of combat vehicles, 1 company of engineering support vehicles, and 2 companies of mixed infantry and combat engineers. They were led by Colonel Augustus More, who also served as the company's CEO, until his death on Chahar in 3064.

Mercenary Review and Bonding Commission (MRBC) Persons of Interest Dossier

Section 3.1.2: Unregistered Contractors (Periphery States)

Part 41, Federica Knox ("Knox's Knaves")

[1.0] Unit Overview

Knox's Knaves (see attached file for heraldry) are a small-medium mercenary unit operating in the rimward inner sphere and periphery. Intelligence shared by the Federated Suns suggests it can field two BattleMech lances, supported by a DropShip and an unconfirmed formation of Inner Sphere Standard battle armor. Conflicting reports claim that the Knaves possess at least one point of Elemental battle armor, but this is unlikely due to lack of historical Clan presence in the region.

[2.0] History

Knox’s Knaves were founded and are led by Captain Federica Knox, a MechWarrior and former soldier in the I Corps of the Taurian Defense Force. Her family history is unclear, though it is known that previous generations emigrated to the Taurian Concordat from elsewhere in the Periphery. Notably, Knox claims relation to a Clan Mongoose, styling herself as “The Last Khan of Clan Mongoose.” (see section 2.1)

[2.1] Claimancy

Clan historical records refer to a Clan Mongoose that was destroyed and absorbed by Clan Smoke Jaguar circa 2868. The likelihood of Knox holding blood relation to these Clanners is very low, and it is much more probable that her title was invented to impress denizens of the rimward Periphery who are unfamiliar with the clans. There is no record of Knox herself having ever been in contact with members of the Clans.

[3.0] Combat Record

Knox pilots the Orion ON1-MB Jackalope. She has proven to be a capable BattleMech commander and pilot, surviving at least five combat actions including two “hot drops” into enemy fire.

[4.0] Known Employers

Knox's Knaves are known to have been hired by public and private interests in both the Taurian Concordat and the Magistracy of Canopus. The unit is also known to take clients deeper in the Periphery, but no records indicate that it has ever been hired within the Inner Sphere, though evidence exists that the unit has been hired to act against the Federated Suns at least twice (see after action report: New Shriner)

[5.0] Current Status

The current operating theater of Knox's Knaves is currently unknown. It is not unusual for smaller unregistered mercenary units to occasionally operate outside of the MRBC information gathering sphere, however, so this is not cause for alarm.

[6.0] Conclusion

The MRBC Information Division recommends loose observation of the situation to stay aware of any changes in astropolitical events involving Knox's Knaves. Aside from possible ties to the Clans, the unit is fairly standard as a Periphery mercenary company. Federica Knox may be a useful asset in actions against House Davion. Personnel have been dispatched to gauge usefulness to the Commission.

Speaking of, Hammer's Slammers also has the impartial arbitration/bondholder commission for mercenary work, which I'm gonna guess was direct inspiration for BattleTech's MRBC. When I read it, it got me thinking that in my setting, there wouldn't likely be a single unified and recognized such authority. It'd be more like at least a dozen, and much like nation-states it'd be a few purely new and spaceborne ones (like the the Centauri Mercenary Commission or whatever) tucked in amongst primarily existing polities' own commissions (Like NATO's, I dunno, Professional Soldiery Contracting and Trust Committee).

Of course, this dilutes the mercenary profession from being theoretically impartial and it starts becoming political again. Like, aside from the fact of "PMC's" in their modern incarnation (that of a government agency in all but name, a la blackwater or wagner) still existing, any mercenary company would either have to walk the tightrope of maintaining standing among several of the numerous bond-boards and the signatory states they represent, or pick one and stick with it and try to fight against the tide of amalgamating into a free-floating (and responsible for your own maintenance and recruiting, and semi-deniable, and somewhat disposable) military asset for said signatory states as dictated by the bond-board.

MRBC used a lot of words to say "you're wrong" without actually explaining why they think that way. And to imply malice, based on nothing.

In 3085, the Second Star League was left asunder.

Corrupted by partisan infighting, the withdrawal of certain Successor States, and difficulty wrangling internal forces, the Star League disbanded, with many SLDF forces returning to their home nations, and leaving the worlds around Terra once again in chaos.

For the people of Terra, it was a time of uncertainty and fear. Under the Star League, they had celebrated political influence and independence, a time without Comstar administration or Blakist occupation. Since the fall of the Terran Hegemony, the people of Terra finally had a say in how their own world would be run. Now, Comstar was back, but all the more weakened as the SLDF had gutted them, leaving them open to Free World League intrusion.

A group of Terran SLDF soldiers grew sick of outside groups lusting for Terra. Disgusted by House Marik’s attempts to seize control and distrusting the Liberty Holds, the soldiers banded together as Eden’s Guard, and went into business for themselves as mercenaries.

Supporting a Battlemech and Battle Armor company, Eden’s Guard also have a significant wing of their forces dedicated to medical, engineering, and political personnel. Holding themselves to the standards and ideals of the Star League, Eden’s Guard leave worlds in better condition than they arrived to. The unit specializes in peacekeeping operations, preventing fighting from reaching too high of a boiling point, and does not shy away from opening dialog between both sides if it means a meaningful resolution. As such, they are renowned not only for their ability to operate as a military force, but as a diplomatic and humanitarian one, as well.

Captain Penelope Trumbull invites you to earn riches and glory for yourself and the Eden’s Guard Mercenary Unit, on Battletech Mercenaries!

I know it's an old post... but your MRBC that you made, did you ever do anything with them? Ever thought about making and selling some? The game is amazing and it's a hidden gem.

I’ve been making “real looking” English versions recently. As in, I’ve been collecting as many scan or high quality photos as I can, then making English versions that hopefully look faithful to the originals in terms of design. Still very much a work in progress, but you can see what I’ve done here. I’m at around 73% collected of all cards, so it’s going well!I don’t sell them, but I’m more than willing to share the masters if you would be interested in finding a good way to print them!On that note, I still haven’t found a nice way to print them at a quality, price, and method I’m happy with, so I’m always open to suggestions.

I just can't stop... Again!

New feature updates for Monster Rancher Battle Card on LackeyCCG simulation.

https://legendcup.com/mrbc-lackeyccg-plugin.php

Life Points automatically set when placing Monsters onto table. (Not a huge QOL improvement, but a fantastic convenience).

Skill cards "float" when played onto table (gives a living/breathing vibe that a skill card is actively being used.)

Optional "Rotate Card" in right click menu. (This is completely optional but was missing form the original release.)

Mew health corrected in text data (Card data is correct and fine. Text data in the sortable/filterable tables had a typo).

English Monster Rancher Battle Cards (Fan-made to look official)

OK! So! Wondering what Monster Rancher Battle Card is? Well, it’s a card game I love, that almost went completely extinct. Long story short, back in 1999, MRBC was a trading card game that came into existence and then died out just 2 years later with almost no following or digital trace. I really loved it, and I wanted to be able to play it.

a page of original monster cards I made this post a while back, highlighting the progress I had made at that time in recreating the game. (You may notice I’ve stolen a lot of text from that post for this post. I spent a lot of time making these cards, so please excuse me if this post itself is brief. :P)

card backs

However, the game barely existed physically, and a lot of the cards were never translated into English, except digitally.

a page of Suezo’s skills At that point, I was more trying to recreate the game and enhance it for physical play. I was going off the aesthetic style of the Gameboy game (my favorite look of MRBC) and making my own changes based on game balance and usability.

a rare Tiger holo card    Hop back to now, and I’ve been lucky enough to get my hands on an almost complete set of Series 1 of MRBC. (In total, there’s 4 series, and some promo cards here and there. Series 1 covers about 40% of the total cards, including all the key cards for the game.)

a cleaned, translated card    So I scanned and cleaned all those cards then made some neato-templates so that I could lay all the information, now in English, back onto the cards.

a Photoshop template I finished inputting all the data, and now they’re ready to go! You can play with these, the rules, and maybe a few counters.

Trying to catch up on Cells at Work Code Black and I'm crying because Main Red Blood Cell's best friend died. It's less over his death itself, and more how hard it is for MRBC. Like they broke the cutie. He was saying he wanted to be processed by the spleen, pretty much killed, because he couldn't take the guilt. And what's the point of him, if he can't work. And what's the point of working if the Body isn't going to improve. It just hit me really, really hard.

MWBC kinda helped at the end, saying to remember their friends who gave their lives to protect and support this Body. But still. It's fucking rough.
