Episode 5 Game Report

This is the final episode of the Mechwarriors Heavy Duty podcast. The reasons why are at the end of the show. Before that, I breeze through Movement and Terrain, most of which is unchanged from the original rules. Thanks to those who listened, and to the very few who gave feedback. Keep playing, have fun, and nuke a friend!

Welcome, Mechwarriors, to Episode 7! In this episode I discuss the Unit Type Special Rules which we have come up with to give the game more depth. Also, I have started putting the unit review in with the podcast, giving you only one file to download. No game report this time, as the holidays shot down any games. Sorry about the delay in posting this, but Christmas, New Year's, and extreme allergies have all rolled crits on me. Enjoy!

Rule Number 6: THERE IS NO RULE NUMBER 6! Nor, it seems, is there an Episode 6 Unit Review. Listen to the audio for the reason. What it boils down to? I'm a dunce.

Episode 6 is live! Combat Part 2 for you today. Finishing up most of the rules and regs for destroying one another in the most gruesome fashion possible! And, finally covered Artillery! There have been questions, so here are the answers! Note: For space reasons, after Episode 7, I will have to move Episode 1 to another download point. I will let you know where in the Episode 7 podcast and show notes.

This game report is, by far, the coolest yet. Ken and I played a big game, and he got to sit in for the report! 1500 points, 4 to 5 hours. Devastation!

Not much of a game to report on this time. Your illustrious host put out a game surface that was too freakin big!

Well, it's been a long time, listeners. Too long. I apologize for the 4 week delay. I have been busy, but that is no excuse. This episode, we cover the first part of Combat! After all, without shooting and blowing s**t up, there wouldn't be a game, would there? Also, the rules have been posted! They are online in a couple formats for you to download. The links are in the podcast and below. Get them and let me know what you think!

Only one this week, and it's all live! Ken, Dave, and I give post turn reports for the short time we got to play til Ken had to go back to work. Warning! This one is unedited and unbleeped. You may hear some mild language. No pics of the teams this time. Sorry about that, guys!
