So how many people just heard a loud joyous "SQUEEEEE" coming from Weirdo's direction? ;D

Weirdo · « **Reply #1203 on:** 17 July 2021, 11:09:03 »

SO HAPPY they're finally public...

Psofan89 · « **Reply #1204 on:** 26 July 2021, 16:18:04 »

What did you do now?

Also, what’s up with gen x? Are they open for gaming or are they still closed?

sevengates · « **Reply #1205 on:** 27 July 2021, 01:21:48 »

CGL just released Alpha Strike cards for Warships, Jumpships, Dropships, and small craft. :thumbsup:

Not sure about the shop.

Gents, Gen-x is back in business for games, will be playing Battletech this Saturday July 31st around 11 when they open, table is already reserved.

Got a fun scenario of Word of Blake trying to assassinate the Loremaster of the Jade Falcons.

Weirdo · « **Reply #1207 on:** 28 July 2021, 15:23:56 »

I'll be there!

Maybe this will mark the resumption of our Sunday games... :)

Tinman427 · « **Reply #1208 on:** 28 July 2021, 15:52:04 »

Hopefully, though don't forget this one is Saturday!

Psofan89 · « **Reply #1209 on:** 28 July 2021, 21:35:50 »

I’m busy this weekend at work, but hopefully I’ll have a Saturday or Sunday free in the near future to head out that way >:D

No worries, this Saturday was one of the few ones actually open enough to fit in some game time. This is an exception, though. I cannot make Saturday games on a regular basis, that's what Sundays are for. Saturdays for me are more of a demiannual thing, at best.

sevengates · « **Reply #1211 on:** 29 July 2021, 08:26:10 »

Due to this year's annual inventory count at work.....I HAVE SATURDAY OFF :D

Weirdo · « **Reply #1212 on:** 02 August 2021, 07:49:41 »

Looks like we're back in business! Who's up for 6k Battletech at GenX this Sunday? 8)

Psofan89 · « **Reply #1213 on:** 02 August 2021, 13:50:49 »

Give me a couple of weeks and hopefully not another lockdown, and I’ll be there >:D

sevengates · « **Reply #1214 on:** 03 August 2021, 01:26:11 »

Anything specific or anything goes? (within reason of course)

Weirdo · « **Reply #1215 on:** 03 August 2021, 08:28:56 »

Our usual. Anything goes, within 6k BV. :)

A discussion upforum gave me an idea for some victory conditions to put a twist on this Sunday's game:

Quote from: Cannonshop on 04 August 2021, 08:18:15

"cripple but don't kill"

No special rules in play, just victory conditions as follows:

1: Everybody starts the game with victory points equal to their force's BV.

2: You lose VP equal to the full BV of every one of your units that gets destroyed, and half BV of your stuff that gets crippled.

3: You also lose VP equal to the full BV of any opposing units you destroy.

4: The only way to actually gain VP is to cripple an enemy unit but not finish it off, in which case you gain VP equal to half its BV.

This would be a good way to simulate a situation where two forces that are normally on the same side(or at least allies) are forced to fight each other, like in a civil war or something. It forces new tactics, and since it's very easy for both sides to wind up with a negative VP total, it showcases the kind of fight where nobody really wins, it's just a question of who lost the least.

Would people be interested in this?

sevengates · « **Reply #1217 on:** 05 August 2021, 01:26:01 »

So it's "shoot to NOT kill" ^-^

sounds like a fun challenge.

Weirdo · « **Reply #1218 on:** 06 August 2021, 00:32:48 »

Well, dang. Due to prior plans I'd completely forgotten about, I cannot make this Sunday.

sevengates · « **Reply #1219 on:** 06 August 2021, 01:02:24 »

Well, dang; I guess that's more time to come up with a good unit. ^-^

Weirdo · « **Reply #1220 on:** 12 August 2021, 18:57:18 »

Shall we try again this Sunday?

Psofan89 · « **Reply #1221 on:** 13 August 2021, 00:39:31 »

I should be off on the 22nd this month. So I'll make an effort to come on over. 6k I assume? or maybe some Alpha strike?

sevengates · « **Reply #1222 on:** 13 August 2021, 01:36:26 »

I'll be there this weekend (15th) and next weekend (22nd)

sevengates · « **Reply #1223 on:** 15 August 2021, 19:49:59 »

In regards to the information on the flash drive I brought to today's game, it is the Strategic Battleforce supplemental for the Tukayyid (rules, maps, etc.)

Weirdo · « **Reply #1224 on:** 19 August 2021, 12:24:52 »

Do we want to do a regular 6k game this weekend?

Psofan89 · « **Reply #1225 on:** 19 August 2021, 13:30:31 »

I was about to ask that. I’m cool with 6K, but if we want to do a larger alpha strike game that is cool with me. I have something fun cooked up already either way >:D

Weirdo · « **Reply #1226 on:** 19 August 2021, 13:41:54 »

I'm fine with 6K. Got something planned that'll likely get me killed, though it should at least be interesting. 🙂

sevengates · « **Reply #1227 on:** 20 August 2021, 01:51:31 »

I'm good with 6k, but I have a starting mech for a higher BV game. :thumbsup:

Weirdo · « **Reply #1228 on:** 20 August 2021, 08:19:01 »

I think we're all wanting to do a bigger game(8k or so) at some point, specifically so we can take the newer top-end stuff out for a spin. :thumbsup:

Psofan89 · « **Reply #1229 on:** 21 August 2021, 09:08:06 »

I'll bring 6k. I'll also try to find my extras from the kickstarter if anybody is looking for stuff.
