Finally A Post Up

Well, back at the beginning of the month, for my birthday I got up Johnson City way and after hitting up a few stores for lunch and some Project BBQ for lunch, I met up with Cheef for a couple games of Battletech. Due to some forgotten info, our first place to play was out and we ended up playing at his house instead. Both games were slugfests with lots of damage to go around on both sides and were a lot of fun as well. However no pics were taken in the fun.

As a birthday treat to myself I did pick up a few Battletech items. I got the "No Greater Honor" Eridani Light Horse anthology, "The Mercenary Life" anthology, and the Battlecorps Anthology "Gray Markets". I have greatly enjoyed the Eridani Light Horse one and it has a series of stories starting in 2772 capturing a Rim World's Republic world and highlights of the campaign to retake Terra and then skips forward through the years through the various stories before finally ending with a tale in 3151 with a reformed Eridani Light Horse getting ready to campaign under the Davion flag once more. The Mercenary Life has been interesting as it's a series of short stories from the point of view of different characters as they cross paths between 2991 and 3014. It's right in the timeframe I enjoy and it's been fun as a different way of weaving an overall tale with a series of different short stories.

The last item I picked up for myself was an old Ral Partha Battletech Medium Lance with complete mechs and the box if fairly good shape. The mechs have all been partially painted and I'll need to decide what I am going to do with them before they get paint. With the new plastics from Catalyst they most likely will be painted as a lance together and go on the shelves as display pieces. With that in mind I am not sure what to paint them as. I am currently deciding between Lyran Guard (because I hate myself white), Arkab Legion, or Hanseatic League Defense Force. Anyway, that's all for now and hopefully I'll be able to get some progress on mechs again once I'm past this holiday stretch. Retail Management is always fun this time of year. See you all next time!
