Viscount Ernest Machida, CEO of Isesaki Shipping and board member of Chandrsekhar Kurita's interstellar conglomerate, has received a number of anonymous death threats in recent months and is concerned about security at corporate headquarters. After consultation with the notoriously unconventional "Uncle Chandy" Kurita, Daimyo Machida has decided to forsake traditional militia protection and instead employ you, some of the best Mercenaries for hire in the Inner Sphere, for his personal protection and the security of his compound.
Your mission is as follows: intercept any unknown hostiles that make an attempt on Daimyo Machida or his shipyards, while ascertaining the identity of the assailants and reporting back to the board with your findings.
This will be a three-part narrative campaign of Classic Battletech, using Total Warfare, Campaign Operations, and Tactical Operations rulebooks. Given the narrative format of the mini-campaign, exact details of each scenario will be partially determined by the results of previous tracks, but a rough outline of each day's events are as follows:
Friday Night: Initial Contact with Invading Force/Recon
Saturday All Day: Main Battle/Defense of Isesaki Corporate HQ
Sunday: Counterattack/Evacuation of Daimyo depending on Results of Saturday game
While knowledge of all rules prior to play is not required, an awesome attitude and desire to ensure an enjoyable experience for all participants is required. Participants are encouraged to attend as many tracks of the event as their schedule permits, and are welcome to contact the organizer of the event in advance with questions.
Entry includes a patch of the logo.
Saturday night will also be the debut of the:
Urbie Derbie!
1) the game starts with a level 4 leap. Damage happens normally, but cannot be fatal
2) The race happens on winding pavement so you can use skidding rules to get ahead 3) Mele attacks are allowed the first three rounds
4) Weapons go hot for the last three rounds (or until someone crosses the finish line) (or until everyone's dead and can't move)
And, of course, watch out for some trashy surprises along the way.
Even includes an Urbanmech painting contest.
Participation in the Urbi Derbi is not linked to the Ukonsoi City event.
