Battletech Campaign

[Earl]

I'm looking to start a Battletech Campaign going. Not sure yet how its going to be done, map, resource based or what. But it will be Clan based either Wolf in Exile, Ghost Bear, or Nova Cat during 3067 and slowly going forward as the unit moves from campaign to campaign. No one will need to buy anything I'm going to supply the 'mechs the maps and the sheets. Just looking for people who are interested and can make it either once or twice a month. Any questions post'em and I'll answer them as quick as I can.

Ok so a new start to this thing. You guys and anyone who wants to play, will be a Mech Trinary (15 Mechs) from one of Clan Ghost Bears second line units(We'll choose which one later). The campaign is going to start with your unit fighting Clan Hell's Horses during early 3064 and move forward from there with your unit eventually fighting Word of Blake out in Kurita space.
This campaign is going to be using the Chaos Campaign track system. Its simple and just crunchy  enough. So the unit can grow or shrink and be all kinds of interesting. The game will still happen every third Wednesday every month.  Any questions post them here and I'll answer them.

The Defense of the Ammo Dump could've gone better. In the end the ammo dump was destroyed and you lost the pilot of your Stone Rhino. The salvage of those Epona Tanks helped keep you in the good graces of Galaxy Commander Gerrard Hambash.The good news is the sharp end of the Hell's Horses advance has been blunted, and they are now reeling. The next step is to take the attack to them, and being one of the few full strength Supernovas left in the Galaxy and Cluster,  it has fallen to you to take the next mission.

The Hells Horses have set up a Command Center on the moon. It's your job to go up there and cripple the defense forces and take out the Command Center. This is going to be a tough nut to crack. The base is being defended by the 666th Mechanized Assault Cluster "War Cluster", they are one of the most Elite and heaviest units in the Horses Touman. But if you can take out the Command Center the Horses back will be broken in Santander V.

You managed to push the Horses off of the moon Just barely anyway. The cost in material was quite high to speak of nothing of the personal thats going to be laid up for a while.

      Now on to something new. We need a small strike force to go and fight a Trial against the Horses. If we win this we'll get some sorely needed supplies from the them.  Win this and things will definitaly be looking birght for your future.

Hey Earl!  OK, that was lots o fun!  I'm in, but we need to discuss what mechs are available.  At the BG they seemd to have two rulebooks, I'm going to pick up one of them tonight, as well as that Dark Age booklet of data sheets.  Just to have an Idea of what to look at.  When is a good time to meet to talk Mechs?
