Eck vs. SideStrafe skirmish PVP at 6pm Eastern time today (Sunday)

HA. I wouldn't call SS's thought process "deliberation" - he's the type of person who debates whether to get a Big Mac with coke or Big Mac with pepsi for 5 min then wonder which payment method is best for another 5....when the store is out pepsi and he forgot to bring his wallet.

The fact that someone like him can steam roll 3-skulls with just paint scratches makes me want to spend my first day editing json files before I boot the game.

As a viewer it can be a little frustrating that the pace is kinda slow.

That being said, isn't the point of a single-player turn-based game to allow the player to take it slow if he wishes?

Beagle is looking to skirmish and if you have the time, the community will make time!

Heck yeah. If you tell Beagle to message me on here we can schedule something. However, I'm starting to get a few challengers trickling in. I'd like to save my undefeated streak for the tournament - BattleTeck luck can be a fickle mistress at times. Plus, I predict this week is going to be hectic.

Let's not slam new blood for being slow or even bad at the game. This is a complex game with tons of moving parts, and not everyone has decades of BattleTech knowledge ingrained in their brains like us. Instead, let's welcome them into the fan base and take them under our wing. How many hours of tabletop did it take for us to "get good"? And that was with someone explaining the rules and hopefully sharing tips and tricks along the way.

SideStrafe made some mistakes, but he also made some smart plays during our skirmish. With some more BattleTech fundamentals, I think he'll be a solid player. Plus he's bringing in even more fans which brings us even closer to "in success".

- Eck

You do realise Eck, that you've got a big ole target painted on your back now as you are going to have hundreds of challengers coming to take you down. Count me in on that too, as I'd love to play a friendly game against you some day. And by friendly I mean I want to crush you, see you driven before me, and to hear the lamentations of your women.
