Recreation on Achooluna is very important. 

The female wrestling pits are quite a hit

LOL -our last BT game was Scenario 7 from the Coventry campaign.  It's played on the River Delta Map 1 & 2 + the Large Lakes 2 map with all hexes adjacent to water being mud.

One wild game I played in was four forest maps with hills. What made it wild was it was supposed to be a jungle in flood, with level 1 water everywhere (the level 1 terrain was level 0 water). It was messy as hell getting around on that one! (with lots of cover to boot!)

Oh, and there was a current that required a piloting roll each turn to avoid being moved one hex in the direction of flow, modified by the weight class of your 'Mech. And if you failed that roll you had to make another piloting skill roll to avoid falling down. 

It was a messy game.

It was a messy game.

We had a game with a wide river, 5 hexes wide and the Merc unit had to find ford across it.  It required you step into the water to determine if the mirky water was shallow enough.  The Mercs drove their hovercraft and ejected their infantry to speed things up - sink or swim boys.  I did not see that tactic coming.

Well, not as entertaining having a Fireball going full tilt across a road map then fail skid check and litterly look like it's skipping across water like a rock and sinking as such after being hulled.

Been there, done that. Broke the Locust and the leg of the Warhammer it crashed into. Sadly the Warhammer was on my side......

Don't do those sporty drink things. I actually read the ingredient labels and checked what I was allowed to have. Nope. Don't do those things. They really ain't good for you.

(Hands cool bottle of birch beer to achoo.)

(Starts watching what he assumes a old recording of the  Wombat stealing someones Mech with comical results in piloting.)

Watch the third video. I put "Wombat friendly" picture instructions, arranged at random, on the controls. BattleMech Break Dancing at it's finest! He broke the 'Mech he stole, the lance sent to retrieve him and the Dropship that was actually sort of an innocent bystander.

Wow! The insurance company must went out of business on this misadventure. (Watches random explosions even though no guns being fired as people panic as their screaming "Wombat!!!")

[Wrangler squints seeing if the current line up of stooges...(oops)...rum drinkers still in the bar were there.]

When Wombat is involved insurance companies are not. If they can avoid it. But when Wombat is involved "avoiding it" is often not an option.
