BattleTech BattleForce Boot Camp in Space!
Friday
 

The year is 3058. The War for Terra began when the Word of Blake invaded and captured Terra from ComStar, Terra's protector since the fall of the Star League three centuries ago. Three months have passed and ComStar is initiating Case White, the liberation of Humanity's homeworld. In this game, small numbers of fighters, DropShips, and perhaps some WarShips if we are feeling squirrely, will fight for orbital control of our sister world Mars. This is designed as an introductory game for people who have never played the game before, but should be fun for people who HAVE played as well. What is learned in this game, will be used in the next.

ANDROMEDA WAR
Saturday
 

Whoop, whoop! Battle stations! The galaxy is under surprise attack by Zebulon Space Pirates. All Naval ships converge on the Omega Sector for immediate combat. This is not a drill. As a member of the Imperial Galactic Navy, you must intercept and destroy the intruders before they mount an effective assault. As a dastardly Space Pirate, it’s time to blast the Imperial Navy into Imperial space junk. Andromeda Wars is a fast, very fierce game of spaceship combat. You must decide whether to put energy into your shields or your weapons; when to put the hammer down and when to hit the brakes. This space battle is a galactic fur ball with ships streaking everywhere. Say goodbye to your Mom because in Andromeda Wars there are few survivors.
