Classic BattleTech with jaw dropping (hexed) 3D terrain that you'll talk about until OwlCon 2013. Throughout the day the Era of play and factions showcased will change so every time slot will bring something new: Classic Level 1/3025, Clan, Jihad era chaos. Players will be spread across 4 boards for quicker play and will have up to 8 factions to choose from. This event has been WILDLY popular the last few years, don't hesitate; register ASAP. If full, come see me. I may have a surprise...

GM - Todd Thrash

Rules were re-released in Strategic Operations and are quick to pick up even if you have never played BattleTech.

Initiative, Movement, Firing and Heat have all been revamped for quick resolution and play. Tactics are the key, not the abilities of any one unit. A sure way to separate the commanders from the grunts.

Three large scale historical battles are planned throughout the day.

Boot Hill has gotten overcrowded, so the outlaws buried there have crawled out of their graves as gun-slinging zombies! Will you be a brave human defending your town, or a rotting corpse hungry for flesh... and vengeance? A cool prize goes to the sole survivor of this bloody free-for-all. Join Gutshot co-creator Mike Mitchell at his 13th OwlCon appearance and help playtest Hawgleg Publishing's upcoming game, "Night of the Living Deadwood." Visit www.hawgleg.com for more info.

So, what are your orders, Admiral?
