So let your darling off the leash to present itself with others on this stage.

We are already looking forward to it ;).

SOLARIS VII CHARITY-TOURNAMENT 2024

All proceeds from the tournament go 100% to the children's cancer charity!

Thank Blake you met that old tech in the pub two days ago who told you about the tournament. A guy known as the Terran is organising a tournament with his own mechs and is looking for jockeys.

When you took a look inside his hangar, you almost fell over. There were almost 2 dozen brand new BattleMechs! The guy even has a few of those new Draconian OmniMechs there! How on Blake's Blood does a Solaris backlander who doesn't even have anything to do with the big stables or the big arenas get his hands on such machines?

Anyway, the important thing is that it gives you the opportunity to earn enough fame to get a job at one of the stables in Solaris City. And all you have to do is defeat every opponent you face.

TrashCan-Tournament

Construction tournament 2024

Taurian Concordat                                                                                               20.08.3068
New Vandenburg

As you step out of the transporter, you overlook a military area located in a basin. Some mechs are crossing a huge square in front of a mech hangar.

A woman in a black costume approaches you and asks you to follow her. After half an hour you enter a test lab with various computer groups and mech simulators. A man in a blue suit is leaning against a centrally positioned holo-vid.

SSW and MegaMekLab are approved as design programs.

Questions + submission until Sunday 20.10.2024 to: konstruktion@phoenixguard.de

For chassis please enter the name of the mech for model please enter your name!!!!

We are looking forward to a lively participation and willingness to donate.

This year again, the BT flea market will take place during our con in Hohegeiß.

Lasertag

With our lasertag set, you can just get out for some fresh air and some exercise before heading back to the game table.

The kids are always very happy about that ;O)

Board games for everyone

A great range of current and tried-and-tested games for everyone, big and small.

You are also welcome to bring your own games and offer rounds of games.

A break, a little distraction, something different or just not in the mood for BT - you'll get help here ;O)

Some of you may remember this FASA classic:

Exciting aerial combat in an alternative 1930s timeline over the former United States. Heroic pilots and their wingmen fight against air pirates and enemy zeppelins.

There will be an introductory round for new cadets and a scenario for veteran veterans. The game system will look familiar to any BT player: Hex cards, data sheets with armour and internal components, and miniatures. Differing features are the movement phase and that there is a damage template.

Here are more program points from 2023
Information about 2024 will follow as soon as possible above

Scenario Tukayyid 3052

Situation:
A star Diamond Sharks is scouting the area as an advance party, a level II of Comstar is already waiting for the Diamond Sharks!

Choose your side!

Fight for a new Star Alliance under clan rule,
or for the freedom of the Inner Sphere!

Hardwar

Hardwar is set in the 22nd century and is a fast 6 mm tabletop game from Strato Minatures. Corporations, alliances of states and private armies fight for supremacy on Earth and Mars.

Electronic warfare and the hardbot, similar to a battlemech, are at the forefront of the battle. But hardbots are not the only formidable weapons. Even tanks and simple infantry should not be underestimated.

The rules are easy to understand and show the interested player that the game is played in real time. There is an immediate reaction and damage is instantaneous.

A definite advantage is the usability of existing 6 mm miniatures. Be it as generic or own construction. Experienced Battletech players will notice that the retro bots are very similar to their mechs. There are freely available unit cards for them and of course these hardbots are also damn strong opponents.

What you need for the game: A 90 x 90 cm battlefield, enough W12 (6 to 10 dice would be appropriate), a tape measure (inches) and of course fun to play.

In addition to the Retrobots, there are 20-point Starter Packs for sale at Strato. If you're more into retrobots, you can now also find them at BenAD3d.

There's a new sheriff in town - Scenario

Planet Batavia 8 July 3142
Meeting room of the Marabu

Major Brackmann enters the briefing room and steps behind the lectern. "Good afternoon soldiers we have received a call for help from the Governor of Batavia. The Mafia is trying to gain control of the planet. We are landing immediately and will investigate the situation in the
in the capital of the planet. The intelligence service assumes that we will meet an equal opponent. So we need the support of the authorities and the population of the planet. So we will provide whatever support we can. Everyone listen to the radio for calls for help. When the second transport lands, you will have support. All mech warriors into their machines and good hunting."

Choose the Sherriff's and drive out the mob.
Long live the Republic!

At about the same time in a hangar near the capital.

The Capo enters the briefing room and stands in front of the large monitor. "Family the dirty governor, despite our financial support, has the gall to call in a unit of militia. The first of the two landing ships has just arrived and the units are heading towards the centre of the city. Since we want to avoid major damage there, we attack the militia troops in the suburbs. A bonus is that the annoying police chief and the governor have their houses. Nico, Luigi, Matteo and Giulia get into your Mechs and show the sons of bitches. As soon as the other mechs are ready, I'll send them to support you. To you braves, show your loyalty on the battlefield.

Choose the mafia and defend your organisation. Business must be conducted!

CAV Rules - Battletech Miniatures

Battletech:Destiny Override

Sebastian gives you an insight into Death From Above Wargaming's hybrid system, which elegantly combines
Classic Battletech,
Alpha Strike and the
Mechwarrior:Destiny roleplaying system.

Demos for 2-4 interested players,
Duration 2,5-3 hours.
All material will be provided by Sebastian.

Battletech Override Scenario

It is the year 3038. The war against Kurita is imminent and Hanse Davion has commissioned numerous undertakings that should give him a further advantage. One of these undertakings is the search for an SLDF cache, which is supposed to be hidden in the border area to the Draconis Combine. In order to attract as little attention as possible, only a small group of mercenaries under the leadership of an FCIS agent has been sent to the remote planet Glenlivet. This group is to reconnoitre the situation and, if the rumours of an SLDF cache are confirmed, prepare a recovery...

The scenario takes place in the Override (formerly Destiny) system. Players should be familiar with the basics of the system. The scenario will be designed for 4-5 players and there will be two runs on Saturday. Here I ask for !pre-registration! At the con. A list will be posted.
