Tonight, well... last night... uh. Friday dec 10 was great.
my dad had an old friend comeover, the very one who got me interested in battletech, and tonight he, my dad, two of my friends and i sat down, and started our first spacebattle!! yeah yeah i know, im all geeky right now but im cool with it. i played battletech since i was 10, -25.... so 15 years now, i think. and tonight was the first time any of us ever tried a version of the game called aerotech. its basically the outerspace version of battletech, but with fighters and capital ships.
now all we did was use four fighters, my dad and his friend on one side, my friends on the other, i opted to stay out to keep teh sides even, and to gm the game. we were pretty much learning as we went too, it took forever to get into the pattern of things. plus we did argue a bit and that REALLY slowed up things. but once it finally kicked off, oooo it was so worth it.
bad thing is, it got pretty late so we have to postpone it too. after my dad's friend left he had me take over for him, and in my infinite wisdom, i took a gamble on a risky move attacking one of their fighters. i knew it left me wide open for a blistering attack, but i felt it was worth the chance. and i guessed right, i nailed the suckers fuel tank!!! but.... it didnt blow, i needed to roll a 10 and wound up with a snakes eyes... drat. oh well. i got smoked so bad but im still doing better than the guy i hit, so im really psyched about next friday!!
