Back yard Battletech

 A short time ago I built a "portable"gaming table. Okay, portable is a bit of a stretch, but a decent sturdy table. Then a few days later I noticed two smaller tables I was gifted from a local brick and mortar gaming store closing. Holy unnecessary construction Batman! The stand for the larger table didn't fit through my back patio door and I had to haul it around the long way. Add to that the raised edge on the table prevented the terrain cloth form laying flat, so the smaller tables supported on plastic folding tables was they way it went this time. The previous game was just Martin and I, but more recently Jonathan joined us for some Alpha Strike in the outdoors. Alpha Strike is a larger battle version of Battletech.  

The first setup with large table. The cover prevents the tree from dropping crap on us.

The refined layout with Jonathan and Martin. Much better, and easier to move.

Sorry About The Wait

I have been absent for quite some time. Not entirely by choice. I had a mental health issues that necessitated an absence from being online. But after this delay I am moving on. I apologize for the inconvenience.

My computer hard drive crashed and as of this writing it looks like all my data is gone. I have a few really old backups but nothing recent. This has given me cause to reexamine my gaming habits. One of which is my hording. I have a lot of gaming stuff. Both physical copy and digital files. I use very little of it. I collect things like a mad man, thinking I might need it some day. Time to narrow the range of stuff I pursue. I will still follow and write about the great many games I like. However my personal collect will contract to include only the few games I want to play. This hobby is an important part of my life and I want to enjoy it more.
