After three days of battletech action at Soonercon we are done. Thank you to all the old and new friends that joined us to play. We had a few local players that expressed interest in joining in, in some of our Sunday games as well.

I am going to use the next week or so to recover from the prep for the con and the con. But we will be continuing the fight on Solaris 7 between our mercenary heroes and the WoB.

When I tried to sleep last night my brain was still trying to teach bootcamp.

Lol, were you dreaming battletech? I did that once with the old X-Wing Gold edition game . . . I played so much on a few days off I started dreaming I was flying the X-wing on missions.

If people are available, we will play the next Total Chaos battle Sunday July 17, 2016 at GHQ. The start time is at 1pm. I will also send out some invites some of the new players we met at Soonercon to see if they would like to join in.

I got the Campaign Operations book and skimmed over some of the updates to the chaos system. I will adjust our costs to those numbers. For the most part they look the same but the charts have a few additions. Also this book brings in the formation and special abilities we have seen in AS to TW. We will phase in some of that in the near future. Those are optional and I may just give a few free special at my discretion to get everyone started. Then from there you could purchase them.

We play tomorrow at 1pm. If you are a new player, we can work you in too.

faithless · « **Reply #425 on:** 18 July 2016, 11:45:55 »

Thank you to everyone that played yesterday. We had a mix of new and old players. Our next Total Chaos mission we will be playing a Prision Break track from earlier in the book. We skipped over it at the time, but I will be modifying it to fit the story on Solaris VII. This one will be infantry heavy but should be an interesting game. I will post when that one is scheduled.

faithless · « **Reply #426 on:** 21 July 2016, 11:42:13 »

I am going to try and do the next campaign game July 30th. This will be a prision break track from earlier in Total Chaos, but set on Solaris VII.

faithless · « **Reply #427 on:** 29 July 2016, 10:36:47 »

Total Chaos: Jail Break (but on Solaris VII) will be played Sunday July 31 at Game HQ. Usual 1pm start time. The merc force will be only infantry, ba, and vehicles for this game. Brent is working up the forces. This should be an interesting game.

Almost forgot.. there is the possibility of mech theft.

faithless · « **Reply #428 on:** 08 August 2016, 10:44:25 »

I am back from a last minute trip to gencon. Since we usually play ever other Sunday, the 14th should be our next game. But I am woreout. I am going to shoot for our next game being held on Sunday August 21, 2016 at Game HQ. 1pm start time.

I picked up the Campaign Operations book, we can look at adding some skills to your personal commanders when we get some time.

faithless · « **Reply #429 on:** 16 August 2016, 13:07:38 »

The next Total Chaos game will be No Man Left Behind. We will play Sunday August 21, 2016 at Game HQ. Start time is 1pm.

faithless · « **Reply #430 on:** 22 August 2016, 12:11:29 »

Thank you to everyone who played yesterday. The WoB pounded the mercs. But I think everyone still had a good time. This was the first time using the pilot special abilities for their commanders. They were pretty powerful, but as the mercs are now deeper into total chaos and going against more vet and elite units, I think it is a good balancing feature.

We are going to try and have our next game in two weeks. The battle will be on Tharkad.

faithless · « **Reply #431 on:** 01 September 2016, 12:51:38 »

Since it is a holiday weekend, we will not play our normal Total Chaos game. A few of us will be at GHQ Sunday Sept 4 at 1pm and play some Wolf and Blake.

faithless · « **Reply #432 on:** 04 September 2016, 11:24:41 »

We are playing some generic missions from Wolf and Blake today at GHQ, 1pm. Everyone is welcome.

faithless · « **Reply #433 on:** 06 September 2016, 12:50:42 »

Thank you to everyone who played Sunday. We had one gentleman play with us for the first time. We had met him at Soonercon this year. We played a Wolf and Blake recon mission and then modified a Supply missions into a rescue mission for the firefly pilot who went unconscious in a mech that fell and breached the ct in water. It was a good time. We almost destroyed Stacy's zeus in game two. It was put out of the game, but still repairable. So, close lol.

I took the dropship and got some nice comments about it. Over the weekend I built a tornado for an upcoming Total Chaos game. I am excited about that one.

Colt Ward · « **Reply #434 on:** 06 September 2016, 13:10:42 »

Supersized the smoke?

faithless · « **Reply #435 on:** 06 September 2016, 13:22:27 »

Yup. Still needs some paint. I unrolled cotton balls and glued them together in long strips. Then I glued them and wound them around a wire armature to give it some motion.

faithless · « **Reply #436 on:** 15 September 2016, 10:06:09 »

Our next TC campaign game will be Sunday September 18 at Game HQ. 1pm start time.

faithless · « **Reply #437 on:** 27 September 2016, 10:13:46 »

Our next game is Sunday October 2, 2016. The start time is 1pm CDT at Game HQ. All are welcome. The mercs will travel to the Spica and be introduced to Stone's Lament. Also, weather report are indicating severe weather is a possibility near their drop zone.

faithless · « **Reply #438 on:** 03 October 2016, 20:45:39 »

The game went well. The modified tornado rules were not bad but could use some tweaking. Lets just say mechs spent a good amount of time on the ground. The mercs and stone's lament dished out a fair about of abuse to their own sides. The mercs,... which I have now named Monroe's Misfits... won by rule of the game but really did not gain anything after replacing mechs and repairs.

Hey faithless . . . I looked at Games HQ website calendar and I do not see BT on Sundays. Might be worth getting it put on the schedule so it shows up.

faithless · « **Reply #440 on:** 09 October 2016, 16:40:42 »

I have tried many times and it never gets put on there. So,I post on this forum, I post in the Oklahoma Battletech group on FB, I have a mailing list I notify for games as well. I also have had a flier on the peg board in the game room for over a year that has the link to this forum. I do need to make a Battletech Played here sign like they do for Team Yankee to hang near the battletech products.

Here in a bit we are going to start a non-official planetary campaign based off of the Antallos turning point. Once we get the rules worked out I will post them and see who all wants to play. By doing it non-official it gives us the ability to run games outside of firebases, which would make it easier to hold some weeknight games and fit more peoples schedules.

Since I logged in to send hate messages to my husband about not bringing me lunch after he promised, I thought I'd ask yall to do me a favor. Please remind Colt that random stuff he wants to make into battchetech scenery should be picked up immediately or I will throw it away. I swear nothing is sacred in my house. Thanks guys!

faithless · « **Reply #442 on:** 14 October 2016, 20:45:12 »

I have some family that is ill. I am going to have to cancel the game for Sunday.

faithless · « **Reply #443 on:** 18 November 2016, 11:00:08 »

We will be playing the next track in Total Chaos. The track is called Clean Sweep and takes place in the Taurian Concordat.
The game will be at Game HQ in Moore, OK, Sunday November 20, 2016. The start time is 1pm. All are welcome. This is a reschedule of the game I had to cancel last month.

Also we will trying to do a Thursday night game once or twice a month at GHQ.

faithless · « **Reply #444 on:** 30 November 2016, 12:27:22 »

We had our most recent Total Chaos game last Sunday. We have started holding more Thursday games at GHQ with at 6pm start time. Right now they are not part of a campaign.

This Thursday, we are going to do 4k bv2 with pilot adjustment per person.

Colt Ward · « **Reply #445 on:** 30 November 2016, 12:45:26 »

Adjustment is in the 4k total? Restrictions on equipment/era?

faithless · « **Reply #446 on:** 30 November 2016, 12:50:38 »

4k bv2 total including pilots, c3 etc.

I would say 4-6 units at most since it is a Thursday night. No tech limits for this week. It is a chance to run and try units we don't normally take.

Colt Ward · « **Reply #447 on:** 30 November 2016, 16:23:21 »

Any hint of terrain or conditions?

faithless · « **Reply #448 on:** 30 November 2016, 16:25:37 »

Whatever we decided as we are setting up. Probably try to make a mixture. Some trees, some hills, some buildings. The last game was all urban so probably switch it up a little.

faithless · « **Reply #449 on:** 02 December 2016, 11:49:50 »

Thanks to everyone that played last night. We did not run it as a Catalyst Event, but just a fun game to get together and roll some dice. We ended up using 5k per person and and had objectives to capture. Points were awarded for captures and kills.

Points were as follows:

John - 7 victory points
Colt - 5
Faithless - 4
Mutt - 3

I threw the victory points together on the fly, but will have a sheet for the table next time.

We are going to try and play again Thursdays night at GHQ, 6pm start time. There is some wiggle room in that due to traffic that time of day.
