Battletech Chicagoland February Event

Join the Chicago Division for another excellent gaming session on Sunday! We will be doing an Alpha Strike version of last years Clan Coyote/Clan Wolf vs Clan Steel Viper conflict. I got some great feedback and positive messages about this game, and thus will be doing it again, now in Alpha Strike! Players can expect *MUCH* more carnage and units on the field. Here is some backstory and general play expectations:

Staged in the War of Reavings, Clan Wolf fights Clan Steel Viper on Glory. Clan Steel Viper has surrounded the remnants of Clan Wolf and are slowly tightening the noose. A call for help was made to Clan Coyote, which is moving in fast to break the siege. Clan Wolf needs only escape the board to grasp victory in this scenario. Clan Steel Viper players will need to destroy all traces of the tainted Clan. You can expect the same general map, but many more units will be on the field.

Just like the last game; there will be blood.


The standard Chicago rules will be in play. All materials will be provided. All the players will need is themselves, dice, and a writing utensil.

PS: There will be Blood.

PPS: More Blood.

PPPS: Did I mention Blood?

ADD THAT TO THE REVIEW

I very much hope to see you there!  The demo agents who run this event have also run several grinders, and everyone is really welcoming to new players :-) .
