Battletech Bootcamp 
Bootcamp is designed primarily for players new to Battletech, or those needing a refresher on the sequence of play.  Players will learn the basic rules for moving, firing, and resolving damage in a quick, fun game against an opponent.  Bootcamp is run concurrently with Battletech Grinder, and upon completion of Bootcamp, players join directly into the Grinder game.  A typical Bootcamp session runs 30-45 minutes and can accommodate up to four players, with new session starting after the completion of the prior one.  All materials are provided.

Battletech Grinder
Battletech Grinder is a progressive free-for-all Battlemech combat, designed to transition players from the introductory rules and technology of the Bootcamp scenario to the full scope and technology of the Battletech Total Warfare Core rule set.  Players begin with a light Battlemech, equipped with the most basic weapons.  When that unit is destroyed in combat, the player re-enters the Grinder with a more powerful Battlemech equipped with more advanced weapons and new equipment, and this continues until the player commands the most advanced and deadly units in the game.  This allows for the teaching of the rule set in a stepped fashion.  Players can play as long as they wish, leave, and return during the scheduled event listing if they wish due to the continuous nature of the Grinder.  Players who have not played before should complete the Battletech Bootcamp prior to entering into the Grinder.  Grinder can accommodate from 2 to 14 players. All materials are provided.

Showdown on Rigil Kentarus
Tired of the dogged pursuit and determined to put an end to her adversary, Stacy Church made a move worthy of Natasha Kerensky: she called her opponent out. The Black Widows challenged their Word of Blake adversaries to a showdown on Rigil Kentarus. The Opacious Ventori arrived right on schedule; and they came with all guns blazing.

Both sides intended to leave the field victorious, and their opponents in ashes.

Showdown on Rigil Kentarus is an advanced scenario for Battletech, able to accomodate 2-12 players in a Company on Company level battle. Miniatures and advanced rules are in play for this scenario, and all materials will be provided.
