I'm getting back into Battletech after a long hiatus. I'm in Ellicott City and rebuilding my model collection. What are the local events?
Welcome back! I did the same thing about 4 years ago, and started playing regularly with the group that posts here.
With a few exceptions, there a monthly game at
Games and Stuff in Glen Burnie, Md. If you've been gaming in the area awhile, I'm sure you know it. If not, it's an awesome store, and as well stocked with BT as any place I've seen in the modern era. They stock all sourcebooks and minis that come out, on their CGL-listed street date.
Paul, who you'll see posting upthread, runs these monthly games. We just finished a six- or seven-month stay on Solaris VII doing an ongoing melee challenge, and are now embarking on a small linked campaign on Anywhere.
Upcoming dates are:
Aug 20: Battle for Anywhere begins!
Sep 24: Battle for Anywhere part 2! Pay for your mistakes, or reap your rewards!
There are also occasional one-off games, such as an upcoming "tutorial" match where Paul is going to run me through the use of vehicles and battle armor.
You'll find it's a great group to play with, very patient and eager to make the game fun. Hope to see you soon!
