Throwback Thursday: Classic Edition
Overview
Throwback Thursday is exactly that, a throwback to the games the demo team use to play when Battletech was a much younger game.Â
Battletech is over 35 years old and going strong. Battletech is always introducing new mechs, technology, etc. but that doesn't mean that there is anything wrong or invalid with playing games back how they use to be played using really old mechs. So, this is our chance to bring back those classic scenarios and have a good old fashioned side on side fight.
This is a throwback to our old "canon" style event where we have huge side on side battles based on a battle in the fiction.
As a twist of this simple idea, this game is first run in standard Battletech but then rerun immediately afterwards using Alpha Strike Rules. See the Throwback Thursday: Alpha Strike Edition under the Alpha Strike drop down for more information on that.
Throwback Thursday
Looking for the old school side on side battle on one giant table? This is the event for you!
Descriptions as posted listed in the Gencon Event Listings
Short:
Old school, when lives were cheap & Mechs expensive.
Long:
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.
