A TO rule huh? Too bad, I have very rarely had the opportunity to use it but I know its hated for the reason of taking low BV fast hovers & VTOLs, cranking their pilot up and turning them into manned missiles.

I checked in TO and the only vtol specials I could find was bombing and strafing.

Did some of the same . . . too bad, it would have been spectacular!

Thursday March 9, 2017, we will play the finale in the Periphery mini campaign. This will be at GHQ. Shooting for a 6pm start time. We could definitely use a few people to help on the Opfor side. Brent has a challenging mission setup.

There is not a normal battletech game this Thursday at GHQ. Sunday is TBD.

I am working on setting up a Saturday Grinder event for International Tabletop Day at GHQ. More to follow on that.

Soonercon (end of June) prep is underway as well.

For Thursday night. How about an all Clan tech game. 8k bv2 with pilot adjustment. 5 units max per person.

Thursday April 6, 2017 HTP Antallos: Gimme the Money. 6pm at GHQ. I am running this as an event.

SITUATION
Maqqavelwan
Prinis Prime
Outworlds Alliance
5 October 3067

Thanos’ Terribles have struck once more. Their raid on the capital Maqqavelwan used corrupted locals to smooth their entry to the local DropPort. They easily outclassed the local militia and robbed the local gem market with the First Long Road Legion’s Second Battalion being outside the city on training maneuvers. However, the Terribles’ informants were unaware that the command company of the Legion’s First Battalion had arrived to take part in the training. Now the vastly outnumbered pirates have to escape the city without giving up their loot or the entire operation will be a failure.

I will be playing the attacker opfor. Depeding on turnout I may have one person join me as opfor, which I will provide. Opfor will outnumber the defenders 4:1. The players will play as Thanos' Terribles. Each person should bring 3k bv2 unadjusted worth of mechs with hand actuators.This is required to carry the jewels. The year limitation is up to 3067 and IS tech only. 3 units max per person. I will assign pilots before the game starts. The objective is getting as much loot off the opposite edge of the board.

Thank you to everyone who played last week. It was a brutal game. Even not running the opfor full strength it felt like some additional balancing was needed.

I will not be running any games on Thursday April 13 or Thursday April 20, 2017. This Sunday is a maybe if anyone is interested. If yall still want to do something John could pick up the maps and terrain. If someone else runs a game on these days it will likely be posted on the Oklahoma Battletech facebook group.

This is my schedule for the rest of the month.

King of the Hill - Thursday April 27, 2017 at Game HQ. 6pm start time. 6kbv2 adjusted per person. Max 3 mechs, any era. This will be an official game.

Grinder for Tabletop Day Saturday April 29, 2017 at Game HQ. 11am - 6pm. Everything will be provided. We will not have a dedicated bootcamp table, but if any new players or people who would like to learn attend we will give you some one on one instruction. This will be an official game.

Tomorrow, Saturday April 29, 2017, I will be running Battletech Grinder as a part of Tabletop Day 2017 at Game HQ in Oklahoma City, OK.

Battletech Grinder is a progressive free-for-all Battlemech combat, designed to transition players from the introductory scenario to the full scope and technology of the Battletech Total Warfare Core rule set.

Players begin with a light Battlemech, equipped with the most basic weapons. When that unit is destroyed in combat, the player re-enters the Grinder with a more powerful Battlemech equipped with more advanced weapons and new equipment, and this continues until the player commands the most advanced and deadly units in the game. Players can play as long as they wish, leave, and return during the scheduled event listing if they wish due to the continuous nature of the Grinder. Each player will be given a pilot card so you can keep track of your progress. Grinder can accommodate from 2 to 14 players. All materials are provided.

** We will not have a dedicated bootcamp table, but if any new players or people who would like to learn to play I can give you one-on-one instruction.

Thank you to those who attended KoTH and Grinder last week. Grinder turnout was low but we had a good time. We had severe storms come through early that morning causing some damage, power outages and flooding.

For this week I have not scheduled anything yet. I will post as soon as I know something.

faithless · « **Reply #491 on:** 03 May 2017, 11:40:27 »

Our next game is Thursday May 4. 2017 at Game HQ. 6pm start time. 5kbv2 per person. Combine arms is ok, except aerospace. Unit size is up to you. You know how many units you are comfortable running. No era or tech restrictions. Defenders will be defending a base. The attackers will have to scan for the objective and then destroy it. Secondary objective getting half the force off board. We will determine teams depending on turnout. I will not be running this as an official game.

I have posted the Soonercon schedule at the following thread and as an event in the Oklahoma Battletech facebook group.

We will be playing a 5k bv2 adjusted game Thursday at 6pm at Game HQ. We may have some new faces joining us, which is great.

No battletech game this Thursday June 8, 2017. June 15th is the next AToW game. The week of Soonercon, I will likely not run a Thursday game. I will try to fit a Sunday game in there somewhere in between.

faithless · « **Reply #494 on:** 12 June 2017, 15:26:30 »

This Thursday Brent is running AToW. It is the second half of our first session on Galatea.

There has been an update to the Soonercon schedule. The primative battle Saturday June 24, 2017 has been changed to King of the Hill. All mechs provided.

faithless · « **Reply #495 on:** 19 June 2017, 14:45:54 »

There is no Thursday game this week as we finish up the last bit of work for Soonercon. I believe Thursday is the last day to get discounted passes too.

faithless · « **Reply #496 on:** 26 June 2017, 15:38:54 »

Thank you to all the old and new faces that attended our Battletech events at Soonercon 26 last weekend. We plan to do it again in 2018.

Also we play most weeks at Game HQ. You can find info about our weekly games in the Oklahoma Battletech Facebook group or in this thread.
Below is a link to our event pics.

We will be playing a Total Chaos supply mission Sunday July 23rd at Game HQ. 1pm start time. We will use this to setup a few new players into the Total Chaos campaign.

faithless · « **Reply #499 on:** 25 July 2017, 16:10:54 »

I will be running part 1 of the Scorched Earth World Wide Event Thursday August 10, 2017 at GHQ. Start time would be 6pm and end at 10pm or sooner depending on how the battle goes. It is setup for a 6 hours time limit or 20 turns. Regardless of how many turns we will do a hard stop at 10pm to tally the results. All units will be provided. So, if someone needs to leave before 10pm, we can hand them off to another player. I am going to plan for 6 players, including myself. If more show up, awesome. We can divide the units up further.
If you are interested, please let me know in the comments and what side you would like to play. The forces will be a Clan Wolf Garrison Cluster vs Free Rasalhague Republic. I will be playing on the FRR side.

Clan Wolf:
Larry
Gordon
Thomas
FRR:
Billy (me)
Zachary - pending availability
Brent (will play whatever side is needed.)

I will be adding this event to the WWE listing.

The next Total Chaos game is tonight. We ran a dropship retreat mission last week. I am looking at rerunning that for the players that missed it. The replay will be Sept 17, 2017 at GHQ. 1pm start time. Anyone who played the last game can join, but they cannot use units used in the first running of the event.

Colt Ward · « **Reply #502 on:** 07 September 2017, 21:43:24 »

What sort of game are you thinking about for next Thursday, the 14th?

faithless · « **Reply #503 on:** 13 September 2017, 10:58:00 »

Thursday September 14, 2017. The game at GHQ will be a CTF style game. The start time will be the usual 6pm. Each person can bring 5k bv2 including pilot adjustment. Minimum 2 units. Mechs, vehicles, infantry, and vtols are fine. No aerospace or conventional fighters.

We will divide into teams and fight over a research facility, ctf style. You will have to scan with bap for one turn or use the non-electronic scanning rules. Then try to return to a friendly staging area. Multiple units can be scanning and returning intel. If a unit is destroyed, you can regain the intel by making another scanning attempt at the wreckage. Sprinting is allowed with usual restrictions.

Points breakdown:
10pt for returning with intel, per trip.
4pt kill an assault mech
3pt kill a heavy mech
2pt kill a medium mech
1pt kill a light mech
1pt all other units.

We had a great game of CTF last night. Blue team won after a close last round with a score of 51 to 48. We also had a new player join us for his first game. He did a great job.

Tonight is a Total Chaos campaign game. 6pm start time at GHQ.

Thursday Sept 28. 2017 will be the next Total Chaos game. Start time is 6pm.

faithless · « **Reply #507 on:** 30 November 2017, 14:24:09 »

Things have been busy and I have neglected this thread. We post all our events on the Oklahoma Battletech Facebook group. We are active most Thursdays.

Tonight we are playing at 6pm at Game HQ. 7kbv2 with pilot adjustment per person. Any era, but if you bring unfamiliar tech please have an idea how to use it or let me know so I can skim the rules ahead of time.

Lately we have had super heavies, and some tripods used in these opens games. It is a great way to try units you normally would not. The last game we had my Ares Zeus facing off against a Poseidon. Along with other units. We have not got them close enough to physical attacks yet, but I am sure they will in future games.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Also we have a sister group in the Tulsa metro. They play games at Dice Addiction. Those are posted on the Oklahoma Battletech Facebook group as well.

I had a few weeks of down time due to vacation and illness. We picked up back up last week with a Tuesday and a rare Saturday game.

This week we are back on our normal schedule. We will play Thursday Feb 1, 2018 at Game HQ. We hope to roll dice at 6pm. If anyone is running late we will work them in when they arrive. I will post game details asap.

faithless · « **Reply #509 on:** 08 February 2018, 12:55:01 »

We are playing a game bases in 3058 when CJF attacked Port St William, Conventry. It is tonight at Game HQ in OKC. Rolling dice at 6pm. Everything is provided.
