I walked into the local hobby shop in May of 2007. They were having a BattleTech game and needed two more contestants. I and another guy that had never played before were talked into playing. Since we did not have any miniatures they gave us a couple of fast, but weak robots. We talked and decided the only way we would survive was to work together and run a hit and run game. We would stay away from the heavies and only attack when we could get in and hit them from different directions then run away. Somehow we won, probably because the heavies did not see us as a danger and we were inexperienced. Here is one of our miniatures. Here are some of the mechs that we ran away from. Can anyone tell me the names of these miniatures? Enjoy! Thanks for all the previous comments, ratings and favorites.
