This is our most popular event for all ability levels. Now with 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.
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.
