Classic BattleTech and Alpha Strike at AnimeFest/GameFest 2024
The BattleTech room is on the 3rd floor Boardroom.
When: Friday July 26 1p-6p
Scenario: Home by Christmas
Rules: Classic BattleTech
Location:Ludendorff Bridge. Our opposition has made an extreme strategic miscalculation. The only bridge large enough to allow for mass cargo movement, in the middle of an impassable marshland, is still standing. If you can hold this bridge, this campaign can possibly finish 6 months earlier than expected.We cannot risk damage to this bridge. No arty, no air, no indirect fire of any kind on or at the bridge. You will have to brawl your way out of this one. Pull this off, and we can make it home to our families half a year early.
