This is our most popular event for all ability levels. This year it has expanded to 6 levels! This casual game plays continuously all convention.
Description:
You start with the lowest level mech with the most basic equipment. When you die you move up to the next level which contains mechs with slightly more advanced equipment. Through this progression you learn how to use all the common equipment in Battletech. This game is not paused or restarted at event breaks, we just add/remove players and collect tickets for those continuing then continue play without resetting the board or players continuing on into the next session. Sign-up for as many blocks as fit into your schedule (even if they are not contiguous), you will receive a report card as a way to sort of "save" your progress so you can come back later in the con and continue playing. All ability levels are welcome but if you have never played Battletech before it is recommended that you play Battletech Bootcamp first.
Our heroes arrive on Memphis, only to find incoming Pirates. This is a simple protect-the-goodies run. Bonus if they can capture one of the pirates alive and get him to talk.
Description:
This is an experimental ongoing Battletech campaign. Each player plays the role of a Mech pilot working for a small mercenary company. Players will develop their pilots over the course of a series of missions. At the end of each mission, pilots are assigned C-Bills and XP with which they can upgrade their Mech and Pilot for subsequent missions. The missions can be played in any order. Generate your own pilot, or use one of the pregenerated pilots provided.

The most challenging tournament. 3-round, non-elimination. The winner is determined by the total score after all 3 rounds.
Description:
Full rules are available at our website. Players will play in all 3 rounds even if they lose a round. Rounds are played back to back in one big event ticket. Each player gets a mech pair for each round from that round's list and plays against one other player who also has a mech pair from the list. Each round new pairings are assigned. Rounds will be played on mapsheets. This year's force list choices and bonuses are not published beforehand.
Old school, when lives were cheap & Mechs expensive.
Description:
This classic scenario will be played using Total Warfare rules but in the same team on team format that our old feature events use to be played as. Experience is recommended but it is completely fine to have not played since the 1980s/1990s when the game was new. This game will be replayed in Alpha Strike later in the evening.
