October's Battletech game will be on October 21, 2017 at Games Plus in Mt. Prospect.
I will be there at 10am to get set-up and will start as soon as possible. However, we will break for lunch. Also, players will be able to jump in late.
By request, we are going to be doing another take at the rift map, this time with new opponents. If you remember from a few years ago when we did this the first time it is all players vs. the board (and essentially me). Your team will start on a hex tile and then as you explore new tiles will appear with new opponents and challenges. The goal is for your team to accomplish all the tiles and find the "exit" before time runs up (i.e. we decide to call it for the day).
Halloween themed mechs are encouraged but you only get the one mech design so you might want to bring copies of your record sheet so you can "respawn" when you die. Though the goal is not to die often as your team will be punished for respawns.
