'Mechs, Munchies and Mayhem
We will be doing a dry run for new Merc Company that we will start in January. Bring in your test choices for your mech to test run and make final choice and get any questions answered.

You can choose any mech as long as it is 1200 BV or under, NOT including pilot, mech only. Or Tank! Or VTOL! Or WIGE!

Pilot is auto 4/4.

Tech has to be 3072 or earlier, you can choose stuff from 3075, but has to be in Primitive section, as that is dated much before 3075.

We will begin with the 3072 Jihad era and work our way through to present times, if we survive! We will be using the warchest point system for accounting/repair/purchases, pretty easy and much more laid back than hard core merc rules.

Want this to be a bit more laid back and fun, so will make concessions for quality and enjoyment based on group dynamic,

We will also need a company name, so shoot suggestions. Also a commander is in order. And a second in command, just in case :). We will also want to assign lance commanders. Would like to maintain a true command structure and feel, as will want units to move in lances.

Guys feel free to coordinate unit choices, that would be a good idea, as would be a good idea to compliment each others choices if possible. That is main reason behind December test and tune, bring a handful of choices and we can run some quick test games to try them out and test dynamic with teammates.

Couple or ground rules:
1. Can choose mechs/tanks/vtol/wige. No infantry, to start.
2. Skill point advancement will be by points. 4 pts to drop one point in any skill. Points will be earned by survived missions, with one point being awarded to one pilot per mission who "Outdid" himself.
3. There will be NO pushing/charging/dfa-ing someone off-board. I know it is in rules, but takes away from gameplay in my mind. Kill your enemy the old fashioned way, WHOOP HIS ASS! If you are upset that I took a quick kill away, roll more 12's :)
I am not going to bend on this one, so do not even try.
4. I have not decided on "advanced rules" that we will be playing, I will go over before December 11th. Please post questions or suggestions on advanced rules and I will rule on them. I will respect all input, but realize I will make final judgement.
5. I would like also to rotate who is running scenarios with anyone interested, so I can get my mech in the fray also. So volunteers to rotate also apply.

Battle for Donnegal
Gentlemen,

This is just a simple reminder that this Friday will be Scenario Three of the Donegal-based Corporate-Ties Campaign. Tyler's Terrors' Gamma Battalion is rapid-deploying to seize and secure the HPG compound in the capital city of Marsdenville. Opposing them are the Fiftieth Shadow Division's elite Manei Domini. Who will prevail?

Join us at 21st Century Comics and Games this Friday the 19th at 6:00 PM and find out!

Jeff Skidmore


Mechs, Munchies, and Mayhem

November M3 is going to be on the 20th. We will be starting at 11 a.m. for Tabletop Battletech and then will break for food at 5 p.m., then Unlimited Pod Play for rest of night for $10. Tabletop as always is free.

Also a remider that location is at U.L.X. (Ultimate LAN Experience) on Planfield and 5mile in Grand Rapids.

Scenario will be a oldie but a goodie, will drop subtle hints in future posts, but do not want to ruin the surprise. Also there will be a special prize(s) given away for the TableTop portion, so be there or be square.

Hope to see you all there.

Jeff Stone
