Hello MechWarriors!

We've had a small Battletech Classic community building at Fair Game La Grange, and we finally have a regular spot on the calendar.

We play pickup games every Sunday, Noon-5.  See the calendar link for more details, or check out the Battletech channel on the Fair Game discord.

Oh heck yeah! You'll know I'll be there as often as I can :D

I'll make sure to bring your favorite alacorn to the field with some ac20s ;)

In all serious, we've been playing together for almost a year at this shop on a more or less weekly basis. I am super excited to have it on the shop's calendar and to have it here on the forums! We hope to see you there to play or watch!

Let's keep growing the game here and have a great time!

Nice work, gentlemen! I haven't been able to make it as much as I'd like, but hopefully we'll all get the chance to play again soon!

For what little it's worth, I also endorse this gathering as a good one for Chicagoland.

These folks are a good up-and-coming group, with an honest desire to learn and try out new things with an open mind, yet also build upon previous knowledge to delve deeper into the massive variety that is our dorky giant stompy robot game (plus toys).

Currently the standard format for BMM/TW is lance-ish sized, and gear/variants up to 3067 provides a manageable amount of spice in scenarios.  Plenty of room for Alpha Strike, too!  With enough experience, I'd say that more can be put into play in the future!

Sorry I've been out of the loop for a bit. Life...

Good group of folks here.  I'd like to still be able to co-opt some of these for events...

This is great! Just joined the Discord and I'll try to make it out this weekend.
