The following is the table I was talking about, I am not sure if this is BV1 or BV2 but I think it is post BV2 release. Part of why I think this is using BV2 is the date as well as the mech I remember most from the one time I saw this used- a Sagittaire- was a very green pilot, which fits the BV2 of the mech. I would suggest perhaps 5k rather than 6k as skills will be a given. When we arrive we can roll up the sides randomly to form a lance or so.
*edit* . . . after looking up the force I used before, perhaps 4k is a better idea as it would allow 2 good IS heavies under that bar.
