Hey guys,

My half my gaming group went AWOL for tonight, which was supposed to be the first game of a Battletech/GURPS campaign. Out of the spirit of uncompromising GM stubbornness, I will be at the game store tonight for a while anyway.

My intent is to setup a DCMS vs AFFS lance vs lance game tonight for any walk-ins who are interested in learning the system.

It's been a while since I've run an open to the public game, so I come to you oh esteemed community of the MWO forums. Here's the setup:

Spoiler

Welcome to Elidere IV.
Due to its oil and metal resources the Draconis Combine has commenced a raid. Elements of the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery are enroute to a refinery complex inland of the planet's largest continent. They must make their way through Scorpion Pass, an ugly and unremarkable valley.

Attacker
DCMS:
Warhammer WHM-6K 70 tons
Marauder MAD-3M 75 tons
Hunchback HBK-4H 50 tons
Panther PNT-9R 35 tons
Objective: Breakthrough to opposite end of the valley.


Defender
AFFS:
Grasshopper GHR-5H 70 tons
Enforcer ENF-4R 50 tons
Clint CLNT-2-3T 40 tons
Spider SDR-5V 30 tons
Objective: Prevent 50% of the DCMS force from crossing the valley.

Additional rules: If the attacking force can no longer move three or more 'mechs off the opposite end of the map, they must withdraw. If the either force is completely eliminated, the opposing force receives a total victory.

I will be using two of the maps from the introductory box set. They will be set end to end so that its one long map. (About 1 km long by .48 km wide)

So any suggestions on this introductory game?

If you want to show up tonight, send me a pm and I'll give you a location and time. I'll try to check my pm's and reply by 5:00 tonight. I know its only a couple of hours from now, sorry. I'd list venue on here, but I'm a little cautious posting stuff to the internet, hence the pm's.

Edit: The campaign later will be starting in 3048 or so. It will be the birth of a mercenary unit and their struggle through the clan invasion. I'm running it in Colorado Springs, and I am using BT for the 'mech combat and GURPS for the rest of the RP elements. There is no link between the one tonight and the campaign. If anyone has a suggestion for either of these, feel free to post.



Edit 2: Well, no one showed up. Disregard unless you want to suggest good techniques for introducing new people to the system.
