// BATTLETECH
With Battletech Ireland
It is the 31st century, a time of endless wars that rage across human-occupied space. As star empires clash, these epic wars are won and lost by BattleMechs, 30 foot tall humanoid metal titans bristling with lasers, cannons, missiles, and other high-tech weaponry; enough firepower to level city blocks. You are the commanding officer of a group of these ‘Mechs, dictating their tactical engagement with the ‘Mechs of your foe.
In Classic BattleTech, you manage the heat levels, compartmentalise damage, struggle to stay standing with damaged gyroscopes, and wreak detailed destruction on the forces of your opponent. In a game where a lucky hit can mean game over, strategy, unit choice, and tactics are everything.
In Alpha Strike, the systems of Classic BattleTech are simplified and streamlined. There is no need to nitpick over individual locations of ammunition and weapons, and as a result the exchange of cannon- and laser-fire is smooth, quick, and exciting.
EVENTS:
- LEINSTER REGIONALS (Saturday 22nd)
- PARTICIPATION GAMES (Sunday 23rd)
- Demos available all weekend.
// MARVEL CRISIS PROTOCOL
With Longshanks
Marvel Crisis Protocol offers 24+ factions to choose from. Create your squad, choose your tactics and unleash those well-laid plans against those misguided meddlers lining up across the table.
Marvel Crisis Protocol is a 2 player skirmish game where each player will field a team of 3-7 characters on a 3D battlefield. Securing objectives will score you precious victory points but only if you survive long enough. In this surprisingly streamlined system (90mins is an average game) terrain offers elevation and protection but only as long as there isn’t a gamma infused monster or his equivalent smashing it into your face.
Join our casual intro tournament using the Longshanks link below or swing by to ask questions or get a demo of the game in all its heroic (or villainous) glory at the MCP table at Leprecon 44. Community members will be delighted to explain the system and answer any questions you may have.
