I live in Corning, NY, going slightly crazy looking for games! Would be pumped to get a decent group built up here, and possibly see about running some small tournaments/campaigns.
This is my first post, so if I can introduce myself a little: I have been building my collection slowly for some years since I first was introduced at a young age, I recently bought about a case and a half (always wanted to, was like Christmas in the fall =D) and a slew of singles. Have only ever played a handful of games though, simply due to having VERY few people ever being interested. My buddy and I have been working on some house-rules to improve the game, particularly in trying to make 'Mechs viable for their points costs without requiring pilot/gear cards (VAST majority of our units are pre-AoD). First edition made my Shone Roshak Shrike quite a tad OP, I will say. Obliterated a Behemoth II then fell back behind my lines and vented back to normal heat, haha. If anyone is interested in revamping the rules a little, let me know.
That said, the friend I mentioned hardly ever has the will to play, possibly my fault at often going a bit hard on him. There is a half-played game still sitting in the top level of my garage collection dust over the past 6 months. So recently, I have been custom-painting my favorite units in the colors of my Black Wolves, the gaming community built around MWO that I run. So... anyone nearby?
