Welcome to Lucius' Lancers, Mechwarrior!

What do I need to know?

Battletech Missions games are typically about 4 hours long. Each player has a single 'mech, and the PCs work together to accomplish some set of goals. At the beginning of the mission, the GM (who plays all of the bad guys, or "OPFOR") will read out the mission briefing. At the end of the mission, the GM will fill out a certificate for each player detailing how much Money (C-Bills) and XP the player has earned during that mission. XP is spent to improve your pilot, C-Bills are spent (mostly) to improve your 'mech.

For the first few games, you'll probably want to play one of our Pregenerated Characters. These have various experience levels, from Green through Elite. Your GM will tell you which you should play, depending on the rest of the group and what season it is.
