Ugh, think my Friend and I are gonna cancel today. Apparently both of us have been feeling under the weather, and it's too damm cold out there right now xp I'll post again when we have a date and time to get together again.

HUZZAH!! I stopped by Gen X today. They have MORE mech packs for IS, Clan, and WOB. :thumbsup:

I'm going to try and make it to the game at Texas Toy Soldier, I'll see you guys there!

Got the whole of February 5th cleared for Battletech.

Barring unforeseeable circumstances, me, my badly painted miniatures, and at least one friend who’s getting a crash course in the lore and rules will be there!

Really looking forward to increasing the number of tabletop games I’ve played by about 33%. ;D

Is anything planned for this Sunday?

sevengates · « **Reply #1355 on:** 28 January 2022, 01:43:56 »

HUZZAH, HUZZAH, HUZZAH!!!!

new arrivals: Blade Runner Black Lotus soundtrack, Tamar Rising hardcopy (w/map 8)), 30 minute model (Gundam store) :D

Sorry for the late response, may I suggest Axis & Allies (forgot the build points)

on a related note, the Normandy Beach map set DID survive the sacking of my storage unit. :thumbsup:

A&A works for me. 200 points? Since you and I are the only one with a collection likely to show up, that'll give us enough for other players to join in.

I'm finally seeing some light and progress on the end of my tunnels.
My wife switched jobs, now she's going to be on a more typical Monday through Friday set up, meaning she has weekends. Which means I can probably get a few Sundays where I'm not holding down the house with kiddo.

Yes one day he'll need to meet the crazy uncles (you all) but at 7 and energetic and grabby at minis I'm all no no no not yet bucko.

Weirdo · « **Reply #1358 on:** 28 January 2022, 11:48:00 »

Just warn us beforehand, and we can have a plastics-only day. :)

Looking forward to seeing you at the games again!

Works for me.

Would be nice to have the old crew together. Or at least what *I* think of as the old crew. Still need to do the Tanksgiving game as well.

No idea if Sunday will work for me, but likely not.

Mechman08 · « **Reply #1363 on:** 03 February 2022, 13:17:53 »

Man, I hope the roads clear by Saturday.

cidayrbourne · « **Reply #1364 on:** 03 February 2022, 13:23:20 »

Just a heads up for the BattleTech: Succession Wars this weekend at Texas Toy Soldier.

While I am, at this time, still planning on running this event, I will be keeping a close eye on the weather and driving conditions.
Depending on how things shape up, for safety, I may cancel the event and reschedule it for our March Battletech event.

Stay safe, stay warm.

Mechman08 · « **Reply #1365 on:** 03 February 2022, 15:17:20 »

Cidayrbourne, will it be a problem if players have to bow out early? The weather has thrown a kink into some family travel plans. I’ll probably need to bail at about 1530.

cidayrbourne · « **Reply #1366 on:** 03 February 2022, 15:24:13 »

If you have to, you have to. We can always adapt. Worst case, I can play as a ringer. Being an introductory event for many players, I was not planning on playing, to be available to help.

This guy's reviewing every mech released in the Recognition Guides, rating them based on their performance in Alpha Strike. It's all very subjective, but also consistent and a good read overall.

cidayrbourne · « **Reply #1368 on:** 04 February 2022, 22:52:29 »

By the afternoon/evening, the roads looked fairly clear. While there is some concern with possible freezing and icy overnight, right now, everything appears to be good.

I will take a look in the morning, and say something if I have concerns for safety. Otherwise, for now, the Fourth Succession War is still on.

Mechman08 · « **Reply #1369 on:** 07 February 2022, 21:01:20 »

Thanks for organizing last Saturday’s 4th SW event! Had a blast even though I could only stick around for one game (and had to play Capellan ;D).

That was my first time playing in the bustle of a game store as opposed to online in Megamek. Really a night and day difference in the experience! I think I was only saved from a rout by some lucky rolls. Puts me in mind of Han Solo’s line: “Good against remotes is one thing. Good against the living? It’s something else.”

Can hardly wait for the chance to play again!

whistler · « **Reply #1370 on:** 09 February 2022, 18:48:45 »

Anything planned for su day?

Weirdo · « **Reply #1371 on:** 10 February 2022, 08:55:57 »

I'm probably not going to be there, but anyone who does, have fun!

sevengates · « **Reply #1372 on:** 11 February 2022, 01:34:21 »

I can be at the shop on Sunday; Battletech, Alpha Strike, The Duke, Ogre, pick your poison.

AchanhiArusa · « **Reply #1373 on:** 12 February 2022, 12:42:01 »

I need to make an appearance at least so you know I'm alive.

Weirdo · « **Reply #1374 on:** 15 February 2022, 19:47:19 »

Any thoughts for this Sunday?

Fortyone · « **Reply #1375 on:** 16 February 2022, 16:31:26 »

Newly returned to dfw. Sold all my tabletop stuff years ago.

But I went ham at Gen X today and picked up a fair few lance\star boxes and some paint. Now I just need to work on getting Sunday's off so I can get some gaming in.

I have my Battletech gear in the car, but if it looks like just you and me I can toss in the Duke and /or my Ogre stuff.

Weirdo · « **Reply #1377 on:** 17 February 2022, 11:23:27 »

I'm down for a Duke Day. :thumbsup:

For those that remember, I found a video of GenCon back when the Blakist secrets book was debuted.

I think one of the guys raising his fist in the background was me. ;D

If anyone is interested in an Alpha Strike game I will be hosting a scenario I have written this Sunday at GenX in my capacity as a demo agent.

Below is the post from FB since I know you guys coordinate here instead.

A new custom written scenario using the Alpha Strike ruleset for 3D Terrain.
Models, stat cards, terrain, rules, and dice will be provided to play.
Just bring yourself and be ready to have a good time. No previous game experience necessary. Game will likely run 3-4 hours.
At the end there will be a giveaway of a custom made Battletech themed dice box.
