It's a free for all with everybody driving a single mech. When you die, you respawn the next turn in a different mech. There is no scoring, just an afternoon of giant robot mayhem.

A reminder, this Sunday I'll be running a scenario from Tales of the Black Widow. Will the minions of Michael Hasek-Davion(along with the infamous Bounty Hunter) crush the famed mercenary company, or will the Widows escape the trap and lay claim to priceless Technicians? Join us at GenX from 12:00-12:30 on to find out!

If I’m free I’ll try to show. How many people does it play comfortably do you think? I’ll bring an extra force just in case.

It's a company vs company fight, so 6 players would be the ideal, with plenty of room for more.

Just a reminder: I’m gonna have to go in to work tomorrow. So I won’t be up at Gen-X. People can still meetup there if they want, just be aware that three of the regulars are not gonna make it.

Anyone up for a 6k game this weekend? I've got a MWDA-style force I want to try out.

Not sure if I'll be in but I still have a force featuring the new Hell's Horses OmniTank I want to try so 6k is good.

Still waiting on work, but we might have a couple of newer players, so if someone will make sure to have something planned for a learning game, that would be a good idea.

I think I can get up there this sunday. I'd like to try aerospace stuff if people are willing, but I don't have anything particular in mind.

250? Crap, that means I have to redo everything, I didn't know this was a tournament.

What happened to the 400pv regular games?

We can do 400. I went with 250 cause we might have a good amount of people and I know most of us would like to finish a game. At worst we can split up if we get a bunch.

Another thing that could speed things up might be to go back to standard damage rules. Honestly, I've been meaning to ask about that for a while. I get that individual damage is more granular, but from what I've seen in our last few games, it just turns things into a slow grind.

We've had very few problems finishing 400-pt games in the past, when using standard damage.

I’ve thought about it, but I legit don’t have a ton of interest in rocket tag. I don’t mind it so much when you have a ton of units, but it still feels like it’s gonna come down to the last few fast hard hitting units just trying to hit each other on 10-12s, first one to land a hit wins.

Honestly: we just need to focus up better, we always get stuff done well in time when we do. Even with a rough start, we managed to get a decent amount of rounds during the aero game cause we tried to keep tight.
