I am getting ready to reserve the room for the big game. Please vote in the date poll (1) ASAP so I know which day to reserve.

Is Sept. 29th still the best day for the game?

[serrate]

As far as I know at this time,  yes.  But,  being that I'm looking for work,  etc.,  it's hard to be absolutely committed at this point.

That’s Ryan’s 13th birthday. If he wants to do that on his birthday we’ll be there. If not we’ll be out.

Note that the plan is to give away most of the mechs after the game.

Agreed, and he's the one usually most interested in coming to Battletech, so I give it at least even odds we'll be there.  September is always a nutty month for me (2 immediate family birthdays - 3 if you include August 30th, wedding anniversary, niece birthday, brother-in-law birthday, start of school, fall sports/activities).  That means weekends to do all the extended family stuff etc.  I can put us down for a definite maybe, but if it's a yes it will be at least Ryan and I, possibly Ryan, Timothy and I.

The game will be bumped to the October 20 game day. UC is holding an event on the 29th and bumped us out of the room.

Over half way done printing.
One quarter done on assebly.

Ryan will be 13.  Is that a game he can attend or not?  I don't want his presence to cause problems.

It will be a relatively long game with more walking than usual, so I guess the question is whether he'll have the patience. I have no problem with kids attending (though UC rules and the insurance require your presence, there can be no minors who are not accompanied by their parent/legal guardian). The room will also be large enough he could go to a corner/side of the room and zone out, if his attention wanes.

[Hat]

I'm not concerned about his attention, more about UC policy as I remember you mentioning that you hadn't expected any minors there.  If it's fine to bring him, we're good.  Thanks for confirming.

[Timberwolfd]

Parents and children are fine. The special nightmare is unaccompanied children, that requires FBI background checks and special insurance (not kidding and not doing...). So no minor friends can come along without their parents.

Rules thread link added to OP.

Note: Players will be asked to bring 12-15 ft. tape measures to the game. Steve, you specifically need at least a 15 ft. tape measure for LAM movement. The DC Timber Wolf E player will also need a 15 ft. tape measure for the ER Large Lasers (12.5 feet) and ER ATM missiles (13.5 feet). Other long range weapons will be adequately covered by a 12 ft. tape measure. ER PPCs will fire out to 11.5 feet, Gauss Rifles top out at 11 feet, LRMs will reach out to 10.5 feet, and IS ER Large Lasers only reach out to 9.5 feet.
