Chaos reigned at Classic Solaris and the Somerset Strikers tonight at Focht’s Network Weekly Wednesday Armored Combat! Multiple games of Classic and Alpha Strike had players competing for glory and daring to refuse batchalls!
The game continues next week, and we want you in on the action! Battle-hardened veterans and courageous new hotshots are equally wanted and welcome!

The Alpha Strike game had players take on the role of our favourite animated heroes (and a point-supporting lance of Fourteenth Donegal Guards) to try and whisk away some Loki agents under the noses of the Aces decks’ Falcon’s Claws and Nicolai Malthus himself! Some of the Donegal ‘Mechs managed to make it away with two of the agents, but the third died a fiery death as Valten Ryder’s Bushwacker took a Hail Mary indirect LRM volley from Kristen Redmond’s Mad Dog. The remainder of the match was a brutal battle between the two forces that saw some almost eerie parallels to the show. The Axman cleaved the Mad Dog in two just like in the opening credits, and in a desperate attempt to save his fellows Ciro got his Wolfhound caught out of position and destroyed by Nicolai’s Summoner. A bloody game all around, but overall a victory for the players. Next time, Adam Steiner…next time.
The Classic games had players take their turn on the Solaris Arenas in a massive team free for all. At one table, a heroic Thunder Hawk was stripped off all its centre torso armour, front and rear, with a fair amount of damage to its limbs as well, and just would not die! It eventually went down, got up, fell again, got up again and moved before falling AGAIN, but this time in position to down an enemy Trebuchet with a propped prone Gauss round. It had but a brief moment to revel in the victory before being destroyed in possibly the most humiliating way possible: an enemy Archer passed it on its way to another target and used its rear lasers to finally put the Thunder Hawk down and out. At another table, a Shadow Cat menaced an UrbanMech having apparently never read the memes. Needless to say the Urbie put an AC/20 round directly through the Shadow Cat’s face for its trouble before moving on to other targets that knew to be more wary of the little trashcan. Meanwhile at the same table, a Vindicator somehow managed to DFA a Fire Moth (needing an 11 to hit!), and a Summoner got annihilated in a single turn by a Stormcrow that melted its centre torso armor and a Hellbringer F that put its pair of LB-10 X Autocannons right into the hole reducing its centre crits to jelly. The crowd absolutely got their money’s worth at this one!
