We played a game to brush up on the rules. 6000BV trying to stay in ca. 3025-3049.

He did not have time to prepare so went with four shooters-8A (all proxies) I went Battlemaster-1Gb, Black Knight-6b-KNT, Catapult-1C and my one stray into clan era with a Wraith-1.

Thanks to some seriously unlucky dice all four of his mech fell down thanks to one getting two crits in CT, two taking >20 damage and one missed kick. All failed pilot checks...

Never seen that before. Edit: we did play fast and loose since we were relearning rules and the LGS was closing soon.

I remember playing a battletech session about 30 years ago. As a "guest" to the group I was only given a Pegasus light hoover tank and some infantry. But I was the first to take down a mech by hiding in what I saw as a possible escape route of the enemy. Lo and behold, one enemy mech was damaged and tried to escape, and my group took him down with the tanks SRMs and those hand-held infantry napalm rockets.
