Hello again. Tried joining the Bay Area Battletech Brethren group some time ago but my request just keeps saying pending. I assume people are busy with the holidays, but wanted to check that I had the correct group.
Played a couple games of Alpha Strike with my kids (easier and faster). Do people play more Classic or Alpha Strike? I think I am more interested in classic, but getting in any games sounds good to me. How to people feel about 3D terrain vs just using maps? I have a 3D printer and been working on a base. Thinking of going all 3D with hills and terrain.
That’s the Facebook group. Honestly the Facebook has been pretty quiet. The last couple months is just been me posting about trying to get a game in. I will post to let the Admin know you are waiting tho.
Best bet would be the discord. It has the most activity probably, followed by here and then the Facebook group.

We have mostly been doing alpha strike. I say mostly, it’s been two meetings in the East Bay and I think a few down in the South Bay. It’s been AS to finish a game in a few hours and be able to use more of the new mechs.
I’ve done a few classics with some buddies and my little brother. That plus megamek. I’d prefer 3D terrain cause looking at the maps, while pretty, it’s a large adjustment from almost any other game, and I guess I’m not very good at that. lol
AS has been easier so far, but I wouldn’t complain about classic
I think we are all kind of on a hiatus right now to let the holidays pass, and will try to go again in January. We are also going to try and meet up at DunDraCon in February I think.
