Bloodright
Overview
The Trial of Bloodright is a scenario based out of the Battletech fiction where clan mech warriors earn their bloodname through a competition. It is a two part scenario: the Bloodright and the Clan Grand Melee.
The night before the Bloodright is the Clan Grand Melee where players can fight to win a free ticket into the Bloodright the following day. The Bloodright is then a single elimination kill and keep event.
Everyone is guaranteed to go home with at least a mini in a blister but some will go home with several very nicely painted minis. However, the big prize for winning is the officially CDT bloodname and the glory that goes with it.
