Off Board Time: After Battle #8

Off Board tracking page for all transactions after Battle #8.

This will be the one stop place to see what everyone has done with their off board time.

The off board time order was determined by the order of elimination in Battle #8 getting the first slot.


You will need to do two things with this Off Board time.  First is your regular off board time stuff.  Tell me if you are going to repair your mech, buy any skills / stables or sponsors...etc.

Second - Battle #9 is the Wasp / Stinger / Hornet battle.  You must look at your faction list or any list you are authorized to buy from, and declare which Wasp , Stinger or Hornet chassis you will take.  Remember it must have Jump Jets, so the Stinger 6L is not an option.  Remember that Comstar, and the clanners can try to get the Stinger STG-3Gb...with a back up selection if they fail that roll.  ***You only need access to the buy lists for those factions, So if you can buy Clan mechs or from the Comstar or WoB lists...you have a shot at getting the STG-3Gb ***

*** Current Player *** by your player name indicates it is that players turn to purchase a mech.  You can purchase a mech after everyone has had a chance, but it is first come first serve at that point.
Will move this marker down as players email me their choices.  Watch this page as it will update all month long.
