The first Friday of the month per my agreement with the game store owner.  It was another good day of demoing Alpha Strike, a fun time was had by all involved, and the little tool I designed and printed off worked well.  It is a 2 inch by 6 inch piece of playing card paper with the mech and vehicle critical charts on it.  We used it a lot.  One thing I realized is that I need a sheet to hand out to players with various links on it to show them where they can get resources to play the game at home.  It\u2019s been over a decade since I\u2019ve demoed games, and even the way we network online has changed radically in that time.  We did everything on message boards back then.  I don\u2019t think I was even on Facebook.  Alpha Strike was still a subset of the BattleForce rules that a few of us were pushing as the future of BattleTech.  Thank God I committed to running demos the first Friday of the month only.  It gives me time to adjust to all the changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I ran another game demo on Friday.
