Also, I'll be bringing both a Battletech and an Alpha Strike force this Sunday, we can see what folks want to play.

Tomorrow? At GenX?  What time?

AS for me. Get there at 1230, 400pts.

Whistler is not only a noted winner, he's a man's man, a generous philanthropist, a noted big game hunter, and a lover and a dancer. If he had a mustache it would be impeccably waxed. When he marches off to war, everyone else stays home.

I’ve gone ahead and requested the 17th off of work. Are people interested in either a large alpha strike game, scenario, or grinder? I’ve got some new maps and terrain I’ve been dying to use >:D

We could do TanksGiving finally! Or some other scenario, I don't mind. I just need to know how many people are gonna play a little beforehand.

We could try to finally do that. I also had the following in mind: 1. Swimming Uphill, from the battle of Tukayyid. 2. Grinder like last time. 3. The usual everyone brings a force.

Swimming Up Hill or TanksGiving. Go big or go home!

I like the idea, I’ve got the highway already printed, and more then enough comstar and shark mechs. Either alpha or classic >:D

First Draft: so give me your comments, anything I need to change/edit? and What system do we want to use?

Sunday, April 17th, Generation X in Bedford.

SITUATION

The Approaches to Urcunat
Urcunat, Tukayyid
Free Rasalhague Republic
5 May 3052

The fighting along Route 16 would be bloody, as the Com Guards held the advantage in the region. With ComStar controlling the high
ground in the village of Urcunat itself and its armor assets dug in, Clan Diamond Shark faced a literal uphill battle.

We will be running the Swimming uphill scenario from Battle of Tukayyid, All models and materials provided. Just bring Dice and a desire to have fun.

If anyone's curious, here's that Operation Lancaster fan project I mentioned at the last game. Try to look at the end of the thread, in order to get the latest version as the author has been making corrections.

Ok, well since I didn’t get any feedback on it, I went ahead and planned everything out for a alpha strike game. I’ll be bringing everything with me, so I just need people to bring dice, markers and any other game accessories they want. I’ll see you guys on the 17th.

I also have been editing the first post to have the corrected links whenever I make updates. :)

Thanks for spreading the word about OpLancaster, I appreciate it, and I sincerely hope people enjoy it. ^_^

Got an idea for a follow up to the Urcunat game.  Who is interested in a hexless Alpha Strike game either 4/24 or 5/8 at GenX?  Would be Com Guards defending an airfield at the edge of the city.

It's funny you mention an airfield... but yeah, like I said on the discord: I gotta clear this stuff with work way ahead of time, so it's always iffy.

HUZZAH!!

I may be returning sooner than expected; depends on my level of pain tolerance by the end of the week and how it affects my ability to drive.

Do I get to be the thread killer?  Anybody doing anything this Sunday?
The Patton of wargame design, the Berg himself, is being immortally quoted elsewhere.
"Rich Berg once responded to gamers comments about one of his games, "I make this ****** up, so can you.""

"Back in MY day we played Battletech with figures made of LEAD! POISONED LEAD! And the only PAINT we had was RADIOACTIVE! Why, we lost at least THREE or FOUR dear friends every YEAR to BATTLETECH POISONING! But we didn't know any better, and we LIKED IT!
And we rolled DICE for HOURS to play our games! There was none of this plastic clicky nonsense! Our DICE were radioactive TOO! And we had to roll them for hours and hours and hours to track EVERY SINGLE MISSILE! Why, my some of my friends are STILL rolling dice for their last turn when I left Norman THREE YEARS ago! And I don't plan to move back for at least five years and it STILL won't be my turn! But we didn't know any better, and we LIKED IT.

Depending on how soon I leave Kilgore, I MIGHT be able to show up. It's only a 2 & 1/2 hour ride. I won't have anything ready though.

I can try to set up a Cruel Seas Scenario since I haven't done anything with those pieces in a long time.

It's Wraith time >:D Anyone also notice how it mentions the Highlander pack comes with a gunslinger, but the mock up has an atlas? I assume that's just because it is a mock up and not the final product...

That's assumed to be the case.

I'm amused that I already have 3 out of 4 of those mechs already in my regular Highlander forces. When that box comes out, In gonna paint them up as the Grey Watch. :)

I also noticed that the Penetrator got the same treatment as the Linebacker and grew some legs.

And today we learned how nasty torpedoes can be (again, as if we didn't learn that in War at Sea).
