Hi y'all,
I'm new-ish to Battletech, having played a few times before. I have the three current boxes, tech manual and the old starter set, so I have enough maps for folks.
I also have a resin printer for making models and terrain.
I'm looking to play at least once a month. I also like to play Ogre and Car wars as well.

Battletech, Ogre, Car Wars!?! It's a shame I'm in WV because those are all games I own and am dying to get back into!
RIGHT? I my BT group moved away, hopefully I'll meet some folks at DragonCon.
That's a shame. Good luck at DragonCon. I'd love to have a small group of people around my age who came up on those great games. Modern stuff is ok, but a lot of it super expensive and I have a backlog of the classics I never got to get out on a table. I have VASSAL engine installed in case I bump into people who might want to play some of them online, but Car Wars and Ogre aren't available there because SJG dropped the banhammer. I have Ogre on Steam, it's rough around the edges but pretty much a straight digital version of the original. Speaking of old games, I just got an original pocket box copy of Illuminati in the mail the other day! I just ordered the Catalyst Battletech game because it appears to be the same game it always was.
The new Battletech is great. Super fun, really no changes other than streamlining the teaching of the rules and the layout of everything.
Anyone in the area or near Crestview that does Battletech ?
Where in North Florida? I have not played a game yet nor painted any of my minis both bought and printed, but someone near by must be the kick to start my drive.
Tallahassee area.
