Anyone going to be at the store this Sunday? I've got a 6k force I've been wanting to try out.

I'll be there; I put a 401pt AS unit using the new Merc set. I will see about a 6k force (once I get my stuff out of storage).

I need to post it here in a bit, but if I can get someone to check with Gen X about the grinder on the 25th, I’d appreciate it. We might have a large turnout, so there is a good chance we are gonna need both big tables.

Come celebrate the release of the Battletech Mercenaries Kickstarter with the DFW Mechwarriors Guild.
We will be hosting a Classic BattleTech Grinder, Mercenaries Swap meet and Painting Contest. So: bring your best lance of mechs, unwanted minis, and the miniature you are most proud of and we will see you there!

What: Classic BattleTech Grinder. Miniature Swap meet. Painting Contest.

When: Sunday, August, 25th.

Where: Generation X Games and Comics, 3504 Harwood Rd, Ste 304, Bedford, TX. 12pm to 5:30pm.

Rules: Four Canon Mech designs with a legal record sheet from the Master Unit List. One from each weight class, any tech, any era, any BV. 3/4 Piloting and Gunnery.
If you want to bring a particular piece of advanced equipment, please make sure to read up on the rules for how it functions. We will have plenty of rule books and experienced players on Hand, but it saves time to know what it does ahead of the game.
Floating Crits, Engine Explosions, Alternative Ammo, Movement Modifier dice, BattleTech initiative deck.
Proxies ARE allowed, just make sure they are the same weight class and you make it clear what they are during the game.
Consider bringing a second set of mechs just in case you go through your first set, as this is a fast paced destruction derby of a format.
Painting Contest: One painted official BattleTech Miniature. One vote per person.

Bring a good attitude and a desire to have fun. If you have any questions feel free to PM me, and I'll be glad to answer them.

Weirdo and I will be playing a 600 point Mechwarrior game this Sunday(13th). AoD ruleset, nothing crazy. I'll have some extra forces for anyone interested.

Que opening music for "Street-Fighter"

In the middle of a mountainous terrain is a small valley. From one end of the valley, an unknown mechwarrior in a Clan Fire Moth races across the field to the opposite end. There he (or she) finds elements of McCarron's Armored Cavalry (2nd Regiment)....waiting. Colonel Marcus Barton, in his Devastator, steps down off a nearby low ridge and casually covers the two hex distance to stand next to it. Before the Fire Moth pilot can react, Barton uses his "Street Fighter" pre-emptive strike ability to pummel the smaller mech into scrap. (Target #6: Fire Moth move (4) + Barton's skill level (1) + 1 for the strike; Marcus rolls a 10  :evil:) Damage is 11: short range damage value (6) + size value (4) + 1

The unknown pilot would later be listed as a member of a two lance Lyran force that stumbled into a fight between 2nd MAC and Comstar. Despite losing a Caeser and a Maxim, the MAC would claim the field from BOTH opponents.

On and off. Usually something you have to organize with people though.

REMINDER: Tomorrow is our Halloween game. One mech, 1.7K BV, Merc availability any era. 4/5 P and G, but you increase or subtract BV to modify.

See y’all out there.

My surgery has been postponed to November 27th; everything else stays the same.

Looks like you're stuck with me for another two weeks.  :tongue:

HUZZ(ouch)AH, HUZ(ouchouch)ZAH :cussing:

(damn sutures) HI ALL

I managed to survive the surgery, but the recovery is pain . . . .

I'm staying with family to recuperate, but I will check-in when I can.

Happy Holidays
