Some thoughts on the first real session using Friar's mercenary rules.
The first session under the new Battlevalue based rules was rather interesting, in the Chinese sense of the word. We had the first use of the oppposition mission, the first breaking of the mission definitions, the first subcontracting, and the potential bankrupting of a player.
My quick reaction force of two Savannah Masters performed admirably until my mistake at planning turns resulted changing the wording of mission success. JT came out worse for the wear as his taste for fast but fragile units may have crushed him.
Next session will be the 11th.

Scenario results for 4/2 and other notes
Our mercs managed to carry the day again, but not without casualties. Sadly the commander of the Mercenary company and Jons pilot both died due to head shots (luckily Jons character was unconscious at the time, so he never saw it coming). We are looking at about 2 games left in this arc, and then any surviving pilots can retire.
On another note I will not be running games the next two Saturdays, first because of my commitment at GASP and secondly for some family things. However Friar has mentioned running a game on the 16th though Ill let him comment with details

Scenario for 4/2
Having crippled the enemy dropship, the mercs were left waiting for the Word of Blake Militia column to arrive. Two of the three downed enemy mech pilots were outright executed by the WoB commander, with the third taken for "processing". After that was dealt with, he turned back to the mercs and pointed out that the enemy was now trapped and should be dealt with.
The question is do you charge after them or take your time and methodically follow - how much time will you allow the enemy to lick its wounds?

Quick update for 3/26
We've come to another decision for the party. Do you take a contract with Word of Blake that sends you to the Liao Front or one that has you defending the critical worlds of the Blake Protectorate?

for the drop tournament
Ok - lets try this again since mobile blogger ate the first entry.
Brian wants everyone to look up a mech mini that they want their 5 dollar signup fee to go towards on http://www.ironwindmetals.com/store/index.php and pick out a mech they are interested in.
Just in case someone forgets or doesn't get the link for some reason I will have a small list of mechs but they will be focused on the mechs in the mercenary campaign.
