OK, here's some hard stuff on the game:
Start at 10.
Card Initiative.
VERY, VERY objective based as for victory conditions.
There are some scenario rules in use for the game that will be explained at game time, I will have sheets for them.
PSRs +1 for every 20
Floating Crit
Prop and fire
ECM, Probe, C3 and because someone will probably do it, ECCM... (I will try to have quick reference sheets for the less common rules so we don't have to tear through Total Warfare consistently)
I'm sure there are a couple of things I'm forgetting, But, the most important thing: HAVE FUN!

I hope there'll still be enough game for me to play when I arrive in the afternoon!

Still, do come if you can, 3CL.  It wouldn't be a proper Drac-thrashing without you!  :D

As long as they're not all "Destroy buildings!"... It just gets boring if you succeed in your tactical objectives and win the game while getting pawned by the other side.

Unfortunately, the earliest I'd be able to make it would be 4PM what with my new work schedule, so my apologies, but I do not believe I'll be able to attend.  I hope everything goes well for you, Mr. Sarcasmo!

Excellent!

For some more meat:
Each side has 28 mechs and *some* battlearmor. The AFFS has about 65000 BV, and the Dracs have...less. However, they outweigh the Suns by a bit as well as having some other tasty advantages.

Fast units will have a use here, and there is some "faction" flavor mechs.
Oh, and Panthers! :)

just give the AFFS boys their Stealths and Centurions and the Panthers will be scrap iron.  This is gonna be a great game.

A very full Games Plus game room made for a hot, but still very good game.  The Fed Suns won the day, and I had better than normal luck with my dice, which let me kill a Hatamoto-Chi.  GWA, too, had his good fortune, which let him get his Black Lanner off the board with three of the objective unit BA troopers still alive.  But was the Stackpole roles that defined the game, especially GWA's Blitzkrieg's 35-point blow-up into the back of the Combine Archer.

Yeah me too. Had a unexpected overnight stay at the ER/hospital Friday night. (as opposed to those expected visits to the ER, LOL) All sorted out now, but I was pretty well wiped once I finally got home.  Hopefully I'll have better luck next time... O0

Wish I had been there for this one.  I would have probably had a better result than I did at teh WFB tournament.  I got blitzed badly going 0-5.  Well.  Like every Cubs Fan (Go White Sox,  lesse if Youkilis gives us a boost) says,  There's Always Next YEar. #P

This year Cubs fans just shake their heads sadly, unable to even utter the ritual words.  :'(
