I offer in-depth analysis, strategies, campaign tips as well as reviews and news about these fascinating games. My goal is to connect the community, help beginners and offer new inspiration to experienced players.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About me<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My name is <strong>S\u00f6ren Spieckermann<\/strong>, I come from the beautiful <strong>Hohenlohe<\/strong> region in the north-east of Baden W\u00fcrttemberg and I am an enthusiastic tabletop wargamer.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My main focus is on <strong>BattleTech: Alpha Strike<\/strong>, as I particularly appreciate the dynamic and tactical battles of this system. Every now and then I also like to play a round of <strong>classic BattleTech<\/strong> to enjoy the more detailed side of the game. I also love the skirmisher wargame <strong>Halo: Flashpoint<\/strong>, which offers fast and exciting battles in the Halo universe.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/mechstrategen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-26-at-21.44.27-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"BattleTech Alpha Strike round.
