OKC Games HQ- Lawyers, Guns & Money and other stuff

[Colt Ward]

For anyone interested in a table top game in central OKC, I have spoken with the guys running Games HQ at 89th & Penn and will be offering a bit of a Summer scenario set.  After looking closely, I noticed all the first scenario's mechs are in the Intro Box Set so it will nicely demo the product though I will not be painting the mechs up too much- just a base coat on one side to separate them visually.  I will be bringing some of my better painted minis for looks.

I know July 10th is a Thursday but with my work schedule it is my 'weekend' which lets me play late along with anyone who wants to do so.  Each side will have 8 mechs, I will provide the variant sheets (thanks Kinkos, lol) along with the board, movement dice and of course everything in the Intro Box!  Depending on how many folks show it could break down into a player controlling a element pair . . . or if just a single person, the whole force.

Life is stabilizing, I want to get out and play more while I can since the wife supports my playing.  Come out and join me, if anyone is interested please post here or send me PMs.

Thanks!

I think I can make it. What time are you wanting to start? I normally get off at 5pm and it takes a bit to get down there. I could try to leave earlier, giving time for the tacos next door too. I have one other player who may be able to show up off hand.

Let me know what mechs are on the side I would be playing and I see what painted stuff I can field. I also have tons of heroscape, and half a hotz mat I could bring.

[Colt Ward]

The first scenario, oddly enough considering the time between when it was written and the Intro Box, can be filled using mechs from the box.  I was going to prime one side and leave the other untouched from the Intro Box making it easily visually different.  Other scenarios have a different mix of mechs, some of which I do not know if I have so we could see if we can get anything close.  I know I was going to bring some of my better painted minis (meaning painted by others, lol) for visual effect- besides playing I of course want to see if anyone is attracted.  I will have the sheets and bring additional dice, but of course some folks may want to bring their lucky dice.

I was considering a start time as close to 1800 as possible, I will show up before hand to set up so we are ready when people arrive.  Besides the Tacos that have been mentioned in other threads there are a few good places to eat in that strip (love the Thai place) and they put in a big On Cue at the corner for drinks.  If both sides are still in play (forced withdraw rules are in effect) before we knock off, I will record the locations and we could finish up another time.

This is the force list for the 1st scenario-

Sounds good. Which side do you want to play? I will bring mini's for my side.

[Colt Ward]

I planned on letting those who wanted to play picked, primed one side white and the other is still the box-issue gray.  Finally dug out my metal and started re-doing the list of what I have on hand.  The some of the older Ral Patha stuff I had forgotten about (Centurion!) though a lot was purchased for a ComGuard unit circa Tukayyid to FCCW.  Scenarios 2, 3, & 4 are the ones I really do not have the minis for . . . because about 60% of what I have is Clan.

[Worthless]

Depending on my case for the day, I may be able to step in for a little while.

[faithless]

I can fill some of those gaps. I would like to use my own mini's for what I play. I think my friend Chris plans to attend as well.

[Colt Ward]

Sure, I was just going to try to keep it easy to visually separate the sides.  I primer'd the Lone Star side and I have some of them as metal minis- thought about bringing them to supplement the plastics.

[faithless]

I am painting up the two lances for the Redfield's. I will just set them up in my stuff as a ready made merc unit.

[faithless]

I should be there by 5 Thursday. I am going to take off work a bit early due to the traffic getting down there. Ive nearly got the two lances of Redfield mech completed.

[faithless]

Two of us are here in the south room. I can setup my hotz half mat and some heroscape.

Here are a few pics from last night.

Are you wanting to finish up the first game this upcoming week?

[Colt Ward]

The house has fallen through so let me check with the boss before I answer.  Pretty sure it is a yes, but let me check.

[faithless]

That sucks. OK, no problem.

[faithless]

I am planning on getting there about 5 tomorrow if all goes well. It will likely be just me. Chris has been sick all week.

[Colt Ward]

Sorry to hear that, I will be there as we are not going to see houses until next week.

[Colt Ward]

I will let the pictures post before I give a run down, but we finished the first scenario tonight- 16 mechs went into the battle and just 9 survived it.  Btw faithless, I did not look closely enough the Emperor is in archive!  Let me know how many you might want, we could split the archive cost in August?

[faithless]

I will try to get the pics up tomorrow. I think I would want no more than 2.

[Colt Ward]

I am thinking 2 as well, which splits that $8 fee nicely.  You might check with the folks in Lawton if you are playing down there before we order.

[faithless]

Are they going to have them at gencon? If so, I know someone going that could pick them up without a archive fee and shipping.

[Colt Ward]

It was not on the list I saw, but I am just getting back to looking at their website and know very little about the archive program.

The link above is to the pics from the continuation of game 1.

[Colt Ward]

For those interested, the survivors were-

Lone Star
Atlas- barely scratched, biggest problem was going through the ammo . . . maybe Ranger-Captain Steve Vagnozzi should get the AC specialist skill.
Awesome-  More armor damage than the Atlas, wet ankles let the PPCs fly
Enforcer 4R-  Missing armor on one side and a few shots of AC/10 left, it ripped into anything going left quite a bit.
Banshee-  Left torso missing, armor in tatters, but the PPC still popped off
Assassin- the ambushed mech starting on its but, it managed to retreat off the map after being forced

Redfields
Dervish-  Shot pretty well, rode the heat curve, armor dinged up
Whitworth- torso pretty well open but survived crit rolls
Treb- lost a leg, Lone Star salvage

Everything else either died from ammo explosions or CT death but the Hunchback, it lost its leg and gyro.

[Colt Ward]

So . . . August 7th, Scenario #2-

Redfield’s Renegades
Command Lance, Redfield’s Raiders
Colonel Sarah Redfield-Barnes (Piloting 3, Gunnery 2), Battlemaster BLR-3M
Lieutenant Robert Diaz (Piloting 4, Gunnery 3), Awesome AWS-9M
MechWarrior Jeff Bowen (Piloting 4, Gunnery 3), Axman AXM-1N
MechWarrior Stephanie Amos (Piloting 3, Gunnery 2), Archer ARC-5R

Recon Lance, Gessert’s Grenadiers
Sergeant Ann Gessert (Piloting 3, Gunnery 2), Phoenix Hawk PXH-3K
MechWarrior C.C. DiPonio (Piloting 4, Gunnery 3), Wolfhound WLF-1
MechWarrior Rachael Chirenko (Piloting 4, Gunnery 3), Jackal JA-KL-1532
MechWarrior Howell Bertsch (Piloting 3, Gunnery 3), Locust LCT-3M

vs

Lone Star Battalion
Command Lance, The Colonel’s Own
Ranger-Colonel Brown (Piloting 2, Gunnery 2), Warhammer WHM-7M
Ranger-Lieutenant Amy Ghastin (Piloting 3, Gunnery 3), Marauder MAD-5D
Ranger-Sergeant Caspar Mayfield (Piloting 3, Gunnery 2), Stalker STK-5S
MechWarrior Patrick Morganthayler (Piloting 3, Gunnery 3), Wolverine WVR-7K

Strike Lance, Jarvis’ Jokers
Ranger-Lieutenant Vernon Jarvis (Piloting 3, Gunnery 3), Hatchetman HCT-5S
MechWarrior Shaunda Berquist (Piloting 3, Gunnery 3), Phoenix Hawk PXH-3D
MechWarrior Bryan Fochs (Piloting 3, Gunnery 3), Griffin GRF-3M
MechWarrior Jasmine Howell (Piloting 4, Gunnery 3), Wasp WSP-1D

This one's map will be a bit touchy, one side fights through the other's base and there are phase lines.  Keep the same sides?

[faithless]

That is fine. I will try to see how much of the map I can have pre-planned. I will see if Chris can make it. It would be great to get one more person to help run your side. I think it would speed things up some. I will have to sub a few figures on my side. I sold a few to a friend I could have used. It should not be a big issue. Let me know what you need for your side.

[Colt Ward]

I have a Warhammer, Marauder, Wolverine 8K to sub, can get a Hatchetman (which will be funny), sub a GRF IIC for the either the PXH (same weight), a Lineholder for the Griffin and . . . something box set for the Wasp probably if I do not have suitable . . . the only thing really outside what I have is the Stalker- none of my other assaults (Dire Wolf, Thug, Scylla, Warhammer IIC 4 or Supernova) even come close to looking like it.

[faithless]

I am pretty set for my side. I am using a hollander for the jackal. I have a griffin, stalker and a hatchetman you can use. I may use my other hatchet man to represent my axman. I sold the one I had not thinking. My other one I got used and in all kinds of pieces. So, it will require some mod work to put back together.

[faithless]

I have the map laid out minus buildings with the materials I had. I am using one heroscape for a level. I have 3 full sets of heroscape but the way that map it is uses all the smaller pieces.  So, I have two layers of that for the level 2, and then build walls that lay on top of that to represent the level 1 wall on top. Builds, I think we can just throw buildings out there the best we can and roll with it. I am building a second phoenix hawk for you to use if you want.

[Colt Ward]

I have not looked closely at it, I thought it was just a L2 berm around the base, instead it has a L1 wall as well?
