Talk about the ultimate Ironman mode.
Hey, someone let @Prussian Havoc know. I’m sure he will want to try at some point.
If I recall correctly, he already said he was going to do it.
I am indeed already working up plans for an all Leopard Dropship DIRECTORATE victory... though if I can snap up the ARGO first, yeah I'd take it. : )

You win this with 4 mech bays and a bunch of pilots strapped to the outside of the Leopard in evac suits, you have my utmost respect :)

Winning the campaign without the Argo would be a tremendous feat.

As would surviving as a unit until the campaign fails.

By the way, according to the Feb 14 Q&A, our starting Lepard has 6 mech bays. So you can carry 2 spares.

I don't think you can win the campaign without the Argo, as I believe it is part of the campaign progression.

Custom Leopard due to no Aerospace and stretching the rules....So this is now a LOT easier for Prussian Havoc with a whole 6 mechs! :p
 
I assume the Argo is embedded in the campaign. The only way not to get it would be to ignore the story campaign. I'm not sure how much you can expect to do with only six mech bays though.

"Sir! We found an old big vessel. Seems to be lost Star League Technology..."
"So really? Get the welding crews busy then. We need some fresh plating."
"Sir...?"
 
In that second-to-last screenshot, of the Blackjack in the mechbay... I really wish I could make that tooltip window move to the side a little so I can see what the difference is between the Diverse Optics laser and Intek laser. I don't even really care what the differences are, I just need to know.

Looking at the beta files about the two Large Lasers and the bonuses for each are:
Diverse Optics Large laser Accuracy Modifier 2
Intek large Laser Critical Chance Multiplier 1.1

There are 5 different levels of the Diverse Optics and the Accuracy Modifier goes from 2 up to 6.
There are two Intek Lasers and their Critical Chance Multipliers are 1.1 and 1.2.

The other weapons in the beta all have differences like that between the various models.
 
I've just understood that the campaign is something way bigger than just getting contract, dropping in mission and getting out. April, why you are not still there?
 
April's busy. Besides she doesn't know when HBS is releasing BATTLETECH either! : )
