Sunday Game 6/3/12

Just a pic from the sunday game. We kicked off the campaign round with 2 probe missions.

Honor dueling like a boss.  It helps that the mercenaries got sent in to probe "light resistance" the regular military probably decided they couldn't find enough volunteers for.

Game Day 1/8/11

Some pics from yesterday's game over at Hobby Town.

First game was the hold the line scenario. The scenario has some real balance issues I think. As the defender was IS and had some low point units, It was prohibitively difficult for the defender to win as the offense sunk a lot of points into a few clan mechs. It meant that in order to win, the defender had to hunt down the elementals AND kill a few mechs... and there was no incentive by the offense to even present the elementals as a target.
Or to rephrase, the Defender didn't have to kill his equal number per se, he had to take out over 150% of his BV just to get close.
Or are we reading the wrong?

And considering the resilience of the Jade Falcon Fire elementals, it would have been tedious had it played out.


Axe wielding midget out of friggin NO WHERE.

Pristine Orion goes down in the first shot by a lucky head cap from a Warhawk-C. PAINFUL. It just goes down from here.

JadeFalcon shifting left and splitting the defenses piecemeal.

Right flank breaks down and scatters attempting to pull in the penetrating clan elements.


At this point we called it. It was pretty apparent that if the defender got ONE point it would be by luck alone. We still had some time to do an interesting game. So we re-cocked it real quick for a game of "Capture the Giant Miniature RadioActive Space Hamster".
The game disentegrated to LOLs.


Hamster at the snap.

Clan player picks up the hamster and runs. IS player starts realizing the value of numbers as the clan player has too many targets to respond.

Carnage comes full circle as mechs start falling in a brutal grudge match. Mechs are overheating, PSRs PSRs EVERYWHERE. The dead pile up in quick succession.
The Warhawk-C dies on principle (with its juiced pilot it was 4100pts of slow moving target).


The ball is resnapped and picked up by the hiding Dasher. But players are getting incapacitated faster than they can be accounted for. One clanner player was close to loosing his entire team to a recreation of "Man Getting Hit By Football."

Store was closing so we called. Only the proxied clan got a point, so he wins the match. I'm sure he'll have a lot to reminisce about in the ICU with his buddies.

Great game, looking forward to the next session with hopefully some more balanced scenarios.

52 Falcon Regulars

Introducing the 52nd Falcon Regulars; a rebuilding front line unit posted to the Inner Sphere territories along the Wolf Corridor. Having participated during Operation Revival, often as a securing force, it was nearly annihilated in the following Refusal War during a series of brutal and nearly inconsequential actions against Clan Wolf. As the 52nd lacks the prestige of more established and bloodied units, they are often seen in delaying, follow up assault, and garrison duties, being snubbed for the more distinguishing actions. It's replacement units and personnel are often trades and second line machine cast offs- often a cause for derision by quoting the unit as "First line in name only".
But what they lack in prestigious equipment, they make up in stubborn crusader determination.

Unit Tabs

If you're feeling artistic, feel free to make a unit tab for your collection. I liked to keep everything tabbed to relevent data with the last campaign, I'd like to continue that.

Like so:
