Would people be interested in trying out Gaslands this weekend?

I'm in :thumbsup:

Cool. I've got about six cars ready, I'll see what I can work up. The intro game is just a free-for-all with each player having two standard cars with machine guns, but if we have time we could try a death race with customized vees. Vehicle construction is FAST, to the point that if you already have an idea in your head, it might take as little as thirty seconds once we get the hang of things. :)

And if folks want to being their own cars...there's obviously no requirement that they be painted or modified(Gaslands is about as WYSIWYG as Battletech - not at all), but it would probably help if the wheels were locked, so we don't have things rolling around willy-nilly.

I have to pick my dad up at the train station and probably won't be able to make it today.

Okay...while doing some starship research, I found a short write up about the 4 nacelle Gorn mini from the Star Trek game. It is suppose to be the ship "not seen" in the original series episode "Arena". It was added to the remastered episode. Check out geekdayton.com

Any thoughts for this weekend's game?

Vice_Grip · « **Reply #605 on:** 28 August 2018, 19:25:36 »

Battletech on the new terrain?

Weirdo · « **Reply #606 on:** 29 August 2018, 06:50:19 »

I'm up for that. 6k BV?

Vice_Grip · « **Reply #607 on:** 29 August 2018, 19:06:01 »

Sounds good. Already got a list ready.

sevengates · « **Reply #608 on:** 30 August 2018, 09:26:16 »

HURRAY.....surgery went well, now in recovery mode with family. Should be back after the holiday. (minus the extra tubing :wheelchair:)

Weirdo · « **Reply #609 on:** 30 August 2018, 09:30:38 »

Huzzah!

Hey guys, I recently got in to battletech and wanted to find a group to play with so I could get better. I got 20 models from the alpha strike packs painted and go to genX all the time so if you don’t mind a new guy in the group, let me know!

Weirdo · « **Reply #611 on:** 31 August 2018, 08:33:11 »

Absolutely, we're always looking for new players! We actually play a variety of games, from Battletech and Alpha Strike, to X-Wing, Armada, Starmada, Naval Command, Axis and Allies minis, a bunch of others I'm likely forgetting, and we've recently started playing Gaslands. We're looking at Battletech this weekend, so you're in luck!

We play on Sundays, with people usually showing up between 12:00 and 12:30, with the game usually starting around 1:00. The Battletech games are typically run with each person bringing a force of 6,000 BV each, and we normally don't run custom designs.

Do you have record sheets? If not, let us know what mechs you have, and one of us can print out a force for you. :)

And welcome the forums!

Itzhak · « **Reply #612 on:** 31 August 2018, 15:31:33 »

Awesome! I have the 3039 and 3050 record books so it all depends on what era you guys run.

Weirdo · « **Reply #613 on:** 31 August 2018, 18:16:14 »

Any era works, that's the glory of BV. As long as the points add up, era doesn't matter. :)

Itzhak · « **Reply #614 on:** 31 August 2018, 22:45:32 »

Mmmm... I can make something work. Do you guys guys care if some of my models are not matching? Recently, I scored some mech on eBay so I’ve haven't painted them in matching colors.

Weirdo · « **Reply #615 on:** 31 August 2018, 23:28:25 »

No problem. Paint is never required, and we've got no issues with proxying, either. :)

Due to a "lack of a contingency plan in case of an emergency", my sisters believe it best that I remain here a few more days following Wednesday's appointment to remove my catheter. My post-op doctor's visit is on Friday 14th. Hopefully, I should be good after that.

Weirdo · « **Reply #617 on:** 04 September 2018, 22:39:01 »

Good luck!

Any thoughts for this weekend's game?

Just got the second Heroscape kit in. Found another with 3 day shipping for only $52. So I now own 3.

That should give us plenty...

Who am I kidding, more terrain is always better.

Weirdo · « **Reply #619 on:** 05 September 2018, 23:38:26 »

How about Alpha Strike this weekend?

Vice_Grip · « **Reply #620 on:** 06 September 2018, 18:16:15 »

The 3rd kit won't arrive until Monday. But if everybody is okay with just two or using map sheets, I see no problems with that.

How many points?

Weirdo · « **Reply #621 on:** 06 September 2018, 19:33:11 »

400 is the usual. This'll be our first Alpha Strike game since they updated the point values. :)

Itzhak · « **Reply #622 on:** 08 September 2018, 14:01:22 »

Would it be unbalanced if I joined also?

Weirdo · « **Reply #623 on:** 08 September 2018, 14:21:10 »

No problem!

Vice_Grip · « **Reply #624 on:** 08 September 2018, 14:48:52 »

Good news! The third HeroScape kit came in 2 days early!

Weirdo · « **Reply #625 on:** 08 September 2018, 15:24:26 »

Woot! Big maps!

Weirdo · « **Reply #626 on:** 10 September 2018, 11:06:01 »

So, it's looking like Gaslands again this next weekend. :)

Do we want to like last time with a few rounds of a general melee for folks who've never played before, or jump straight into a death race? I'm kinda voting for the latter, since the early driving-only stages of a race should make a good introduction.

sevengates · « **Reply #627 on:** 10 September 2018, 13:09:57 »

You have my vote for that; just have to convince my sisters to let me STAY home this Friday.

Weirdo · « **Reply #628 on:** 10 September 2018, 13:20:49 »

Good luck!

sevengates · « **Reply #629 on:** 14 September 2018, 18:06:59 »

Okay boys and girls, the word for today is: :laughing_skull: :laughing_skull: INCOMING :laughing_skull: :laughing_skull:
