Not so sure about the butt handing :-)
But definitely looking forward to trying to do it !

Surely, there are other BT old timers in London.
Please make yourselves known

Does anybody know of any UK demo agents? Might be quite fun to add to the worldwide event.

Thanks,

It's been almost a year since anyone in the UK added anything, any new blood got something to tell us?

Me and Lucky have been playing pretty regularly in central london since I last commented in this Thread. I asked on the Euro catalyst demo facebook page about some kind of launch event for the new box sets and looks like their may be something up in Coventry.

Getz isn't too far away, but my job makes going on a set time/day a bit difficult.

But other than that haven't found/converted any new players.

Coventry is only a couple of hundred miles away - I might be able to make that  ;D

I believe the store is called Young’s hobbies in Coventry. But no hard details until there is a release date. That’s all the information I have about it.

Thanks, I've seen Young's on Facebook, I'll drop them a line and see what's happening.

James Beil - Northants

(Also, include Alfie Freeman - Northants, he's the mate I've just roped into the game!)

Just a heads up, but it looks like the English Battletech championship is in Young's hobbies in Coventry in November. I'm thinking of going, although never played in a championship before.

I'll try to get along to Young's if only to watch.

Hi all, bumping this thread to see if much is happening in the North West?

I'm in Lancaster.

Have been getting back into the lore recently (and the new PC games) but I played a lot of tabletop and megamek back in the day.

Cheers,
Mikhail

There is a reasonable group of UK players on Facebook that post from time to time. But yeah, it’s pretty tricky. Hopefully when the new box set is released that will be a good time to get some new players interested!

Greetings everyone

I'm about to move down to the South of London for a new job. Picked up both boxsets today I'm looking to get back into the tabletop version of the game. Do you guys still meet in Central London?

I don't know about Central London, but there's an active community in Gravesend, just down the Thames Estuary.  If you're in south east London we might be convenient for you.

I fell out of favour with heaven somewhere, so I'm here for the hell of it now...

It might not be possible for me to get to South London hugely regularly but I may be moving to be closer and so able to come up sometimes


On a different note, there appears to be a nice (from looking at the website) FLGS in Poole in Dorset

Thanks for this, have joined the group.

Hoping there are some players around the Manchester/Liverpool areas which are reasonably close to me.

Indeed potentially going to be in the South East so definitely going to make a note to contact you guys when I've moved.

Awesome, message me if you find yourself in the region.  Our games club meets on Wednesdays, but there's a games store in town where we sometimes play at the weekend.

Hey London folk,

I do still play. I haven't been into Dark Sphere for a while as the games have grown to a campaign size so more suited to playing at someone's house. Would be up for a skirmish game though. Gravesend is only a 35 minute drive for me (Poplar)

Funny you should mention that...

We're running a Battletech event in Gravesend on March 30th.

Should be able to make that. What are the rules for what to bring?

To be honest, anything you like - although I'd prefer if it was an official design and if it's using any exotic tech I'd appreciate it if you brought the appropriate rules along, although I will have my copies of tac-ops and interplanetary ops available.

However, I'd suggest bringing a "stable" of four or more mechs, one in each weight class and using relatively conventional tech.  The event is meant to be for beginners as well as veterans so be nice and only bring one horribly abusive machine...  ;)

I'm running the event so I'll be bringing a butt-ton on mechs of different weights and tech levels for people to pick up and play, so I should be able to match something reasonably fair against anything that a player brings themselves.

Is it me or has Young's Hobbies just closed down? I'm guessing the championships won't be held there? I would have liked to go and watch
