Since I didn’t get any pushback, I went ahead and made two forces for an Aces play test. Miniatures provided, just bring dice. You can also bring a 200PV force if you want to run something you came up with. I’ll also bring the usual classic and alpha strike forces for some free play if people want to do that instead.

Looks like I might actually be available this Sunday. Are there any plans? Mechwarrior? Aero?

Psofan89 · « **Reply #422 on:** 14 June 2023, 10:46:21 »

We talked about a classic game. My dad is in town, so I’m still trying to figure if I’ll be there. I’ve got the busts I had printed for you and whistler, but it might have to wait till next time.

Weirdo · « **Reply #423 on:** 14 June 2023, 10:55:57 »

6k game, then? I can do that.

One last question: Do we allow FAEs? They're not WMDs and I'm paying the full BV for them of course, but I still wanted to check before I brought any.

Psofan89 · « **Reply #424 on:** 14 June 2023, 13:02:41 »

Uhh, I’d have to look. I don’t remember us talking about them. I assume we are talking about fuel air explosives, and not a white wolf role playing game ;D

Weirdo · « **Reply #425 on:** 14 June 2023, 13:08:20 »

Correct. :)

(The rules are in IntOps: Alternate Eras)

Psofan89 · « **Reply #426 on:** 20 June 2023, 21:53:00 »

Any plans for this Sunday(25th)?

sevengates · « **Reply #427 on:** 21 June 2023, 01:02:06 »

I should be able to make it.

Psofan89 · « **Reply #428 on:** 21 June 2023, 21:31:41 »

Alright. We can go with our usual 6k and 400pv and see what people want to do when we get there.

sevengates · « **Reply #429 on:** 25 June 2023, 22:30:59 »

Please remind me where to find the Liao motorized plasma rifle unit.

Weirdo · « **Reply #430 on:** 26 June 2023, 06:00:00 »

If you're talking about the plasma-armed monocycle, that's in TRO Irregulars.

Bear in mind, the stats and sheet the are NOT for a full motorized infantry platoon but for running the cycles as individual vehicles.

The only plasma-armed infantry unit I can think of are the Heavy Urban Response platoon in the Lyran infantry section of TRO 3085.

Thanks

Weirdo · « **Reply #432 on:** 27 June 2023, 14:08:07 »

Looks like this week is going to be clickytech. Psofan and I will bring a few forces each. :)

Psofan89 · « **Reply #433 on:** 28 June 2023, 12:08:02 »

Mechwarrior gameday this Sunday. Forces provided, or you can construct your own using the construction rules below. either 1v1 or team games depending on number of players.

When: Sunday, July 2nd.

Where: Generation X in Bedford, TX. 12pm doors open, 5-5:30close.

Rules: 600 points, 4 orders. Splinter/Parent factions count as the same faction for formations and faction pride cards ( Dragon's fury/Combine, Spirits cats/Nova cats, etc)

Weirdo · « **Reply #434 on:** 04 July 2023, 14:47:58 »

Are there any plans for the 9th at GenX? Tomorrow is my only day to print sheets for that.

Psofan89 · « **Reply #435 on:** 04 July 2023, 15:07:33 »

Unless someone has objections, I’d say let’s just plan for a generic pickup game. 400pv or 6k BV.

Psofan89 · « **Reply #436 on:** 10 July 2023, 14:09:47 »

Alright, so mentioned this Sunday and during previous games, and I know Sevengates has been chomping at the bit for awhile now: how about a Classic game using the pilot cards this Sunday(16th)?

I was thinking:

Mix and match factions.
- cause not every faction has or has enough pilot cards, and not everybody OWNS all the pilot cards

You have to use the mech variant listed for that pilot.
- no putting that amazing trebuchet pilot in a bigger missile boat. You want them, you gotta put up with their ride.

Legendary pilots allowed, minus Morgan Kell.
- they will put a target on your head, especially Natasha, but that’s fine. However, I’m not sure everybody wants to put up with the five pages of text for phantom mech xp.

Ideas? Feedback? Concerns?

sevengates · « **Reply #437 on:** 13 July 2023, 00:50:00 »

Are we using the PV/BV limits?

Psofan89 · « **Reply #438 on:** 13 July 2023, 13:16:37 »

I was about to post up everything since there appears to be no pushback. Yes, our normal BV/PV 6k/400.

Psofan89 · « **Reply #439 on:** 13 July 2023, 13:35:37 »

Gen-X this Sunday for some Classic and Alpha Pilot card mayhem!.

When: Sunday, July 16th

Where: Generation X in Bedford, TX. 12pm doors open, 5-5:30close.

Rules: Any tech, any era, any faction. 6K BV, or 400PV. We recommend bringing a force for each system.

Pilot cards are allowed. Pilots must be assigned to their specific Mech chassis and Variant.

You may mix and match pilots from different eras and factions.

Legendary Mechwarriors are allowed, One per player, excluding Morgan Kell.

Pay BV/PV assuming every unit is P&G 4/5 and Skill 4.

Pilots WILL have their printed P&G or a Skill rating equal to their Gunnery. SPA's as well. Incase said pilot does not have a SPA that exists in the game sytem they are being used in,
Treat them as having a Lucky SPA equal to their printed SPA cost.

sevengates · « **Reply #440 on:** 15 July 2023, 21:43:30 »

A couple of quick questions:

Since MOST pilot cards have a matching Alpha Strike card, do you use that mech?

If there is no matching AS card, can you choose the variant?

(that's the way I'm going)

Psofan89 · « **Reply #441 on:** 15 July 2023, 22:49:31 »

So, unless the card specified which variant, you could put them in any variant, as long as it’s that specific mech.

For example: Natasha specifically mentions the Widomaker on her pilot card. That that’s the version she has to be assigned to. (Not exactly a Downside…but still)

Delmar Clays pilot card says wolverine, but doesn’t specify which variant. So you can assign him to any Wolverine variant you want, as long as it’s a Wolverine.

sevengates · « **Reply #442 on:** 15 July 2023, 23:23:38 »

Thanks

(now it's just a math problem)

sevengates · « **Reply #443 on:** 16 July 2023, 20:46:05 »

Hey Evan, it looks like the Loew's Arlington Hotel & Convention Center IS the new convention center (or will be); I thought it was already complete.

Psofan89 · « **Reply #444 on:** 16 July 2023, 22:05:46 »

Yeah, that’s what I thought. The way they go on about it, you’d think they’d already gotten it done.

Psofan89 · « **Reply #445 on:** 17 July 2023, 10:22:40 »

Classic cityfight scenario at Gen-X.

When: Sunday, July 23rd

Where: Generation X in Bedford, TX. 12pm doors open, 5-5:30close.

Rules: Fixed city fight scenario, Standard Battletech rules, Forces will be provided.

Note: I'm not sure about the details, I was just asked to provide terrain. I'd suggest bringing a 6K BV and 400PV force for freeplay in case we don't have enough room or
the organizer cancels.

Tinman427 · « **Reply #446 on:** 17 July 2023, 20:05:24 »

Gents, its Marc. Going to be in town next week, bringing forces for the city fight game Sunday the 23rd and I have forces for Sunday the 30th as well where I would love to use some 3D terrain as well.

23rd will be Republic of the Sphere versus Wolf for the ilClan and the 30th will be a classic Davion versus Kurita, I think you will like it

Weirdo · « **Reply #447 on:** 18 July 2023, 09:31:04 »

I will not be able to make this week unfortunately, and not sure about the week after.

sevengates · « **Reply #448 on:** 20 July 2023, 01:35:29 »

I can make it to the game on the 23rd, but the 30th is AnimeFest.

Tinman427 · « **Reply #449 on:** 27 July 2023, 08:46:30 »

Had a great time last weekend, this Sunday (the 30th) is an old fashioned Davion vs Kurita with a few surprises thrown in. It was great seeing everyone, and looking forward to this weekend as well then I am out of town on Monday. Hope to see you Sunday. - Marc
