10.14.2k2 Well Tom and I didn't
make it to the Blaine Lee Pardoe book singing because of a faulty fuel pump
grrrrr. But the weekend was salvaged thanks to Tim and his daughter Gail you
guys are great thanks alot for coming over and letting Tom and I beat up on
you lol. On another note thanks to Ted and Chuck of playbattletech.org
for the wonderful care package I expected a piece of paper or poster or something
signed but much to my surprise I got a copy of Exodus Road signed by the author
also a shiny new Hellion and Fafnir you guys rock!!! See you at Ucon...........WYRM 10.05.2k2 10.04.2k2 09.23.2k2 ALSO! Ted and Chuck Wilson, fouders of playbattletech.org
who put wurm and I up for the entire weekend...You guys are the BEST! I must
say that i have NEVER been made to feel more welcome in someones home than I
did this weekend.
AND...(seems like a lot doesn't it?)...I will be contacting Glenn Hopkins
to have him do a step by step paint clinic for the site. What started out as
Glenn and John Cheeseman doing a paint demo at the beginning of the day, and
ended up being Glenn showing about 15-20 people simultaneously(all new players
by the way) how to paint their new Pirannha minis. Glenn providing paints and
brushes and a helping hand to a certain commando applicant who needed his proto
mechs and Madcat painted for the last game of the day! All this while his partner
in crime decided to take a little catnap in the corner.(Centaur protomechs kept
a ryoken prime busy all night :) )
ONE LAST THING!!! (recurring theme here) John...get some sleep! 08.22.2k2 Well...I guess some apologies
are in order for my lack of updates. I have been working non-stop for a game
called Neveron
It is a lot of fun and my empire is growing strong. But tonight I recieved an
email that i could not resist. So i am going to announce that my commando application
is still active and I am waiting to see what happens. There is a Convention
in East Lansing in September and I will be helping to make it run smoothly.
Come see me and say hi! 02.13.2K2 Well...As
it must be painfully obvious I have been rather busy working every day for about
three months now. After Monte Diablo, I have worked solid and haven't even OPENED
my armory at all. But, after seeing the new tourney coming our way...I can't even
resisit anymore. I have sent in my application to be a Comando for FanPro and
will be running (Cross your fingers) the Martial Olympiad in Alpena end of this
month. I hope to see you there.
Classic
Battletech has gone absolutely hog wild as of late. They have even brought
back some VERY familiar names of mech designs. (ie. Locust, Warhammer...) Some
of these designs are available on their website for download. Incorporate some
of them into your next game.
Well I guess that is about it for
me today. I will make a concerted effort to try to update this page a bit more
often. As long as my work for Neveron is
kept up to date as well. If you haven't tried Neveron yet...PLEASE do. Closest
thing to a Battletech Campaign online as you are ever going to get. New features
added daily (Heat sink criticals and flamers doing heat damage were coded last
week. Physical attacks are also implemented.) Please give it a shot and if you
happen to see Magistracy of Canopus on your empire map, send me a Diplomatic
Relations treaty. I like to help new players.

02.13.2K2 It is
a very sad day for BattleTech. One of our own has passed away in a tragic
accident. Joe Frazier, famous for his painting skills with BattleTech miniatures
died Monday night while getting ready for work. He slipped and fell and
hit his head on a weight bench. A link to his Miniature gallery is HERE!
As you will see...He contributed many beautiful minis to the community! 02.12.2K2 Well today
the latest edition of Battle
Chat from Randall Bills is up! 02.09.2K2 Well let's
see. More stuff on Classic BattleTech. Two more sneak previews for us
from TRO 3067. The Shiva fighter and the Ajax Assault Tank! Thank you
Fan-Pro! 02.05.2K2 Classic
BattleTech has again placed more schwag (is that right?) on their website.
Desktop Backgrounds and a new Mech design from TRO 3067...The Sagittaire!
This is one Bad Looking Mech boys! And judging by the load-out, it's a
real scrapper too. I just might have to trade in the Thunderhawk for one. 01.29.2K2 OK OK...We
get the picture. Fan Pro is DEFINITELY going to support Classic BattleTech.
Unlike the old BattleTech page, Classic
BattleTech is updated very VERY regularly! They just posted Random
Mech Assignment tables that they used when they used to play. All major houses
are represented. CHECK IT OUT!!! A definite must see! 01.25.2K2 Classic
BattleTech has posted a story to accompany the Battle for Monte Diablo.
Go to their site by clicking the link above. 01.15.2k2 Randall
Bills has the Battle
Chat up for January. It is a very well written one to say the least! 01.15.2k2 What a
great Birthday Present from Fan Pro. Classic
Battletech Is holding a world wide battle for "Monte Diablo"
I am going with Haggis. There is still room in the Van. Email me
for details if you live in Northern Michigan. We will be traveling to
Livonia on March 2nd. 01.09.2k2 Classic
Battletech is holding a cover design contest. Go to their web page
for details. I have an idea that's "Off the Hook!" 12.27.2k2 In an apparent attempt
to take 2k1 out with a BANG, Classic
Battletech has announced That Iron
Wind Metals will be releasing new Minis for Classic Battletech! 12.22.2k1
In a special announcement today from
Classic Battletech.com
, They have announced the FWL logos were added!
Cool huh???

News Network) link is ALSO changed. Thanks for your Patience and Have a Great
Holiday season!

Well, well well. My updates have
become quite sparse indeed. Fear not, I bring you the Northern Michigan BattleTech
HQ Group.
This weekend is Foundation 2003. I will be running demo games in the Dealer's room so stop by and say hello and I will give you a free mini! (Honest!)
OK...the latest update to "Project Pheonix" is up! Project
Pheonix is the re-introduction of some great mechs that were taken away from
us by Legal Mumbo Jumbo! The prior update reintroduced the Locust, Pheonix Hawk,
Thunderbolt, and Marauder. This issue is even better with the Wasp, Griffin, Warhammer,
and Goliath (yes the old Assault Quad is back...minus the turret!) Have a look
and see the new art for yourself!
Field Manual: Free Worlds League Unit
Logos added
BattleTech Field Manual: Free Worlds
League contains extensive information about all aspects of House Marik's military.
Every BattleMech Regiment of the FWLM is described in detail, including their
history, officers and tactics:
This is not just a group for people in Northern Michigan, It is a group for the entire BattleTech community. It has file sharing, message boards and many other fun and exciting things, which are difficult to maintain on a website. We have very few members right now, (just started) but with more members, will be more things being shared.
I would like to thank Flipper for the beautiful mountain he made for me. I haven't used it yet but will soon! I can't wait.

Well thanks to Thuggo, I have great
news. Check out the CLASSIC BATTLETECH site here at www.classicbattletech.com
Our game is back and on track!!!!
BattleTech is the definitive strategic board game. Here at the BattleTech HQ we will strive to make sure all of your RPG needs are met. This will ensure you have a great BattleTech playing experience. We have BattleTech downloads, Battlemech designers, BattleTech strategy and tactics, BattleTech links, BattleTech news, and BattleTech updates. We will be featuring the Art of War by Sun Tzu as well as The Five Rings. You can also buy your BattleTech and Mechwarrior RPG books online from B&N here. We are also featuring Mechwarrior RPG sections. We have Mechwarrior RPG updates and coming soon Mechwarrior Character Generators, Mechwarrior RPG Character creation programs and other Mechwarrior RPG utilities.
BattleTech is set in the 30th century. It is a game of armored combat where Huge 30 foot tall robots called Battlemechs are piloted by Mechwarriors. Mechs, as they are commonly known as, are armed to the teeth with autocannons, lasers, short, medium, and long range missiles, and particle projection cannons or PPCs. Some of them also carry hatchets and axes to attack other mechs in hand-to-hand combat.
The pilots known as Mechwarriors are the most highly trained people in the galaxy. They are the stuff legends are made of and are the equivalent of the Knights of old. They are revered as heroes and some societies are based around them. The invaders from outside the Inner Sphere are known collectively as the Clans. Their entire society is based upon the value of the Mechwarrior.
