The Mechbay does some hobby roundup talking about how to stay motivated when you are between deployments. They talk the new wolfhound IIC from catalyst, shilones, and a whole lot of hobby progress. Keeping that reactor fired up takes work so don't let the flame die out.

The Mechbay goes over running low BV Clan games and making the best out of some ugly ducklings. They cover their favorite bargain omnimechs for each weight class, then discuss the lesser taken clan battlemechs, IIC mechs, and some of the new C variants to squeak in a star. Then they talk about how the game changes at such a low BV for clans. Finally they each bring a list to pit against each other and hopefully build a better star by committee.

They cover their time from Day 0 with prepping for a full scale drop, how they made their list, and then the do's and don'ts of playing. Then they give a breakdown of Games 1 through 6 with mission details, highlights and regrets, and how they handled their opponents. Then they wrap it up with their thoughts on taking home the grand prize, how they feel about alpha strike after two non stop days, and then some community interviews.

The Mechbay goes over the basics of running a Battletech Campaign and carrying those walking C-Bill holes from one game to the next. They cover the roles of a GM, Experience points and turning that recruit into a killer, good places to get your foot actuators wet, and that sweet loot to keep players coming back to the table. Do you like tracking fuel cost, salaries, or just the logistics of tabletop warfare? Then a campaign is for you! Then they break it down with ways to prevent burnout and a campaign going cold.
