Backstabbers are awesome. It seems like a simple idea, but it really makes for a hilarious game. Glad you thought of it!

I'll have an e-mail out shortly to people explaining what they need to do, and I'll put that info here in this thread as well.

Unable to get a venue for December. Sorry folks. G&S has a large Magic tournament the weekend in question, and after that with the holidays people just aren't around for gaming anyway. Gonna have to shelve my game for a while until Paul's done with the campaign.

See you all in January.

A shame, but we'll stab backs before too long, I'm sure!

So, next date will be January 14th, unless someone else wants to run something.
The solution is just ignore Paul.

As I generally do nothing spectacular on NYE.  I may be interested.  It entirely depends on on how well my recovery from surgery goes as to whether I am out and about.  Surgery was today.  Post op visit tomorrow morning.  Will probably have another in the next week or two at Hopkins.  That is also to say I may be available after the appointment during a week day if all goes well too.

I will be on my way through town next Friday after for a post surgery follow up to Hopkins.  If anyone is interested in a pick up game after I am done, feel free to post here or send me a PM no later than Thursday and I will pack some of stuff to take with me.

Party foul: if you suggest a game, you must run it. :p

I'll think about it; most of it would be finding the bandwidth.

Hope the recovery is going well!
Tentatively interested in the pickup game. feel free to move the discussion to PM.

NYE game: good idea, though I'm out, unfortunately. Hopefully enough people will raise a paw.

Firesprocket and I had a small NYE game at G&S.  one lance not to exceed 10000 BV with one custom mech.  things seemed pretty even, one mech killed and some of the remaining were close.

Paul,

Good call, I forgot that this Saturday is another MTG pre-release.

And the last weather forecast I looked at literally said:

Friday: Cloudy
Saturday: Ice Pellets
Sunday: Scattered Showers.

Way to not scare anyone, Weather Underground.

I've had something come up, so I can't run anything Saturday.

If someone else wants to pick up the baton and maybe run something mild like a Grinder or something, that may be good. (Weather permitting)
After all, not everyone who plans to attend, checks this website.

If someone's interested in that, I may be able to provide some logistical support, and help you get rolling; I just have to be gone by 2pm.

Don't see anything on the calendar yet over at GC&S.  So I'm going to guess nothing scheduled yet.

Feel free to stop by.  Over the last year I think I've seen regular attendance from anywhere to 4-14 people huddled around the table.   At some point Paul will likely announce when the next game date will be in.

Doesn't look like there will be a February date. Working on a March one.
But that shouldn't prevent anyone from plotting a pick up game of some sort: I am not the only road to Rome. =)

Hello,

I am new to the DC area, and a long time Battle tech player.  I am just getting into Alpha Strike with another older friend who plays battle tech as well.  Alpha Strike is pretty amazing.  So when do you guys play at G&S?  Does anyone ever live out in Calvert county or around Andrews?

there is no current AS games running, although I am interested.  generally we play regular battletech about once a month, with nothing currently scheduled for this month.

I have no issues in coming up that direction to play AS.  I just don't generally like to do 2 trips a month.

Got a date: March 11, a Saturday, will be when the campaign for Anywhere resumes.

As for a February event: happy to help, though I would prefer if someone else could take the lead. Alpha Strike is not my favorite thing, but I should be able to be helpful none the less.

Failing that, I could slap together a quick pickup game as a form of welcome for salcor. =)

I suspect at this point I will not be up that direction this month due to another planned commitment and numerous bills suddenly coming due AFTER paying for a new roof  :'(

Have fun! I've got something else tonight, otherwise I'd swing by to say hi.

Hope to see everyone Saturday when the campaign resumes!
