We'll be meeting up for the event around 12:30. I will likely be there a bit earlier to get things setup easier.

Alright, which one of you nerds bought all the salvage boxes from Barnes & Noble at the Parks Mall?? 😅

Apparently they were rung up incorrectly and still showing in inventory even though someone picked them up yesterday. So I picked up AGoAC instead.

Yep. The employee I talked to said a guy called yesterday and had them hold all of them, then picked them up later that day.

Well I made it to another B&N that had salvage boxes today. Got 5 and pulled Mad Dog, Adder, Ice Ferret, Grendel, and Hellbringer. All in all I'd call it a decent "Heavy Striker" type of unit. Really most excited about the Mad Dog. My fondness for that mech would have a Ghost Bear thinking I'm obsessive.

I will bring a force in case the scenario is full. See you guys tomorrow either way!

All right, I think this is the right spot.

Had a good time at GenX today, digging the Alpha Strike rules.  Ready to go again.

Being inspired by an introtech about lance I want to try out... How do folks feel about a smaller game this Sunday? 2200bv max, and each force must have at least four units.

We'd been talking about another AS scenario or Gaslands though we hadn't really reached a consensus on anything. 2200 max? That sounds like a very small game.

Whatever you all want to do, I just need to know a day in advance to make sure I can make it. :)

Time for the little ones to shine. Show us you know how to get the most out of a Commando! :thumbsup:

Or bring a heavy mech escorted by three hoverbikes, that's also a perfectly valid option. See if you can avoid getting swarmed. :)

I mean, I can't even put together a lance of decent Commandos for 2200, but we'll see. I have a strategery in mind. Anyway, I'll bring a 2200BV force of four units, but I'll also have my 400pt Alpha Stike force in case someone wants to play or some of the new guys show up expecting AS.

I've got my unit ready (and no Urbies). I also got my CGL Wolfhound IICs (nice details)  :thumbsup:

So 2200 points, sounds like classic yes?  I might come by to watch for a bit, I'll save myself for future AS. :)

Like I said, I'll have my AS gear with me. Bring 400pts worth of hardware and we can play :) besides other people who don't check the forums here might show up expecting AS, so that's why I was gonna have a contingency force.

So you are suggesting we go Commando?
The Patton of wargame design, the Berg himself, is being immortally quoted elsewhere.
"Rich Berg once responded to gamers comments about one of his games, "I make this ****** up, so can you.""

"Back in MY day we played Battletech with figures made of LEAD! POISONED LEAD! And the only PAINT we had was RADIOACTIVE! Why, we lost at least THREE or FOUR dear friends every YEAR to BATTLETECH POISONING! But we didn't know any better, and we LIKED IT!
And we rolled DICE for HOURS to play our games! There was none of this plastic clicky nonsense! Our DICE were radioactive TOO! And we had to roll them for hours and hours and hours to track EVERY SINGLE MISSILE! Why, my some of my friends are STILL rolling dice for their last turn when I left Norman THREE YEARS ago! And I don't plan to move back for at least five years and it STILL won't be my turn! But we didn't know any better, and we LIKED IT.
These kids today."  --Jim Butcher, Dresden Chronicles Author

That's not something I'm going to check...

Anyone got a Hornet I could borrow for tomorrow?

About the same time as last week? I have a few things I need to do tomorrow so if I get done early enough, I'll stop in and bring 400pts.  If I can't make it by 2pm, I probably won't be there.

We try to get there at 1230 or so for setup then start by 1. If you could post an eta in here (since we don't have eachothers numbers) I'd appreciate it. With my back I'm not always the most punctual so I don't mind waiting. That being said if I wait till 2 and nobody else shows then I pretty much out of both AS and BT. I do hope to see you there though!

It doesn't look like I will be able to make it today.  Just a heads-up in case anyone is waiting.

I will make sure next Sunday is cleared up though.

Indeed you are. I'm Merritt, the tall dude you were talking with at the shop. Sammy is floating around here as well. Looking forward to the game! Try to be there around 1230. I'm looking at you, Sammy 8)

BTW dude I totally forgot about my intro tech companies so you don't have to worry about putting anything together. I'll just bring both forces and the sheets. If you have any maps or anything though you should bring them. I'm a bit lacking in that department.

We are. Megatron works Sundays, and since Sammy and I have free time during that week we figured 'why not'? This will be an intro game, 400pts per side. Obviously the focus is on teaching the basics. But yeah if you want to join in then by all means :) I'll have all the forces and materials.
