Half the time I spend on this forum is divided with google trying to learn what you people are saying.Know an abbreviation or acronym? share it...I'll try to edit them all into one alphabetical list in this post.= Away from keyboardAirstrike (gameplay): The amount of damage 'Mech can put out with an Alpha StrikeArtillery Strike (gameplay): Autocannon: Beagle/Clan Active Probe: Battletech: Capellan Confederation: Combat Loss Grouping (phenomenon where a group of 'Mechs reaches critical damage states at around the same time and begin dying together.
