I lost my BattleTech virginity

The battle raged on this past weekend at my friend's house as we played BattleTech for the first time. Well, it was the initial outing for most of us. It was fun.

My friend had a big BattleMech, the Tiger tank of the game, which was armed and armored to the hilt while I had a lighter but more mobile one. He inflicted some severe damage before I was able to leverage my larger movement score while he sat immobile after his BattleMech had overheated and get in his 6 to lay in on him.

Note the hoopy British rubber duck that I got for my friend while in Birmingham.

Theoretically we'll be playing Symbaroum next weekend. I played it for the first time in a short round at Gamehole Con this year and I am keen on playing a longer scenario as I familiarize myself with another system.
