We have a series of introductory Battletech events coming up – you need no experience with the game, nor minis to play in this series!
Battletech Grinder: Starts at 1 pm, March 1
Take control of some of the most of the most powerful war machines mankind has ever produced.
Event includes an escalating free for all starting with the lightest of mechs, if you are killed off you get to try heavier units up to the mighty 100 ton assault mechs. Event will have a 15 dollar entry fee, everyone who does attend will at the very least will receive a salvage box (one battle mech) other prizes will be awarded for longest survivor in light weight class, most kills and others to be determined on attendance. A giveaway will be held for the new beginner box which includes everything to get started in this wonderful game.

A demo side event will also be held to teach newer players how to play.
Note that if Salvage boxes are not available at the time, we will break down some of the larger plastic boxes and create the same event. Either way, your experience will not change.
Battletech Salvage Free For All
Two dates, Sat April 12 at 1 pm and Thursday May 1 at 6 pm
Classic Battletech Rules, with optional rules listed in the rules PDF
A Salvage Free For All is an event where players use the contents of two random salvage boxes to determine both what mechs they will be using in a free-for-all match as well as the prizes for that match.
You pay your entry fee and you get 2 salvage boxes (1 each of clan invasion and mercenaries). You look at the contents of both boxes and decide which one you want to play with. Each Mech has a predetermined variant and pilot rating. This keeps the BV totals as close as reasonable to each other. Check the back of the rules PDF for the variant and pilot ratings for each Mech. The Mech you select to use, you will keep. The Mech you do not use, goes into the prize pool for your group (pod). First place player for your group (pod) gets fresh salvage box and first pick of the mech boxes that were not chosen by your pod. We try to keep the group sizes to 4 or less, see rules for details. You’ll get the record sheet of your selected Mech at the store (we print them after you select your Mech). An additional Salvage box will be added to the prize pool per table of 4. Total cost is $18.52+tax ($20 after tax).
Note that if Salvage boxes are not available at the time, we will break down some of the larger plastic boxes and create the same event. Either way, your experience will not change.
