Chicagoland November Battletech Game
« on: 24 October 2019, 08:24:18 »
The game will take place at Games Plus in Mt. Prospect, Illinois on Sunday November 24th from 10:30am to 6:00pm. 

Do you have mechs that are just too huge for normal hex bases?   Is it so big that it covers multiple hexes when on the table?  Well, don't worry about that anymore!  For the November game, we will be using a larger hex map so that there is no concerns over what hex the mini is in!  Players can bring their own minis that use oversize hex bases, or just spill over the standard ones.  The P/G will be balanced based off of BV.  If you use a small mech on a large base, the base must be like a diorama. 
There will be mechs available for those who do not have any that meet the  requirements. 
Please bring your mech with its printed mech sheet, a writing utensil, and favorite random number generating polyhedrons.

No tech restrictions, but there must be a record sheet for the mech.   No customs.

Will there be respawns?

Do we get to know the terrain?

Respawns will be allowed, just not in the same mech or vehicle.  The terrain will be a wooded plain with a bit of water.

What about those mechs who have broad shoulders?

I'm looking at you Archangel and Blood Asp...

ADD THAT TO THE REVIEW

Those are prime examples of minis bigger then their hex.

Is there a BV limit?

How many mechs/vehicles can we have?

How many can a player use at a time?

Might be able to make it is why I ask...

The BV will be balanced at the game, based on what units are on the board.
You can have only 1 unit on the board at a time, (or 2 lighter vehicles)
What you bring is entirely your choice.
