    THREAD CLOSED because it was a bit redundant.

    Returning Players should go here:
    http://www.uobgaming.com/showthread.php?4799-CHARACTER-CONVERSION

    New Players should go here:
    http://www.uobgaming.com/showthread.php?1150-GENERAL-CAMPAIGN-INFO

    ======================================================================

    Placeholder for our continuation of the Skjaldborg Commando's campaign.

    BOTH NEW AND OLD PILOTS ARE WELCOME!

    A recap of a previous post:
    More details in terms of old character and mech conversion plans to follow as they become available.

    EDIT: I didn't want to cause an alarm earlier, but there was a few incompatibility issues I was having trying to get the most recent save from this campaign to work. After some precision file editing I can now confirm that I have successfully retrieved all the data on our old characters.

    /heavy sigh of relief

    old version can be found here:
    https://www.dropbox.com/sh/41vh43603vyfqdk/XAJ3dvCgEN
    (save file included; just start up MekHQ, click "load campaign" button, and you should easily spot the most recent save file)

    Yeah VTOLs are out this time Tzeentch. Its all mechs for 99% of the time. So all us in the VTOL and Armor lances will have to do some rework.

    And I am in just waiting for all the info on how to rework my dude. I would start fresh but well that was a lot of xp :D

    Mount a Spider with rocket pods. Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war.

    edit: Actually what are some good light mechs with serious vert during this era beside the spider?

    Hmmm... a Mongoose or a Super Wasp? That is the question. I guess I could rip the srm2 and ammo out of the wasp for 4 small lasers. While the mongoose just, well look at it. The damn thing's awesome, even though it doesn't fly.....yet.

    I should be able to contribute as a grunt. Besides, I should be getting Dihm's hand-me-down mech! Gonna upgrade the Clint a bit anyway, you know, just in case.

    Someone tried to run a Spider Tzeentch and they did fine until they ran too close to someone with high gunnery and they got eaten. No mech can go fast enough to make them as hard to hit as the VTOLs were.

    And I cant seem to find it where was the list for mechs we could use?

    You should be able to look at the list in MekHQ when you load the save file, just click "Purchase Units". Starting mech is 4mil CBills and 3048 or older.

    Is that 4 mil plus the sell of my XL equiped VTOL plus all the salary I have gotten over the course of the campaign? That was one of the questions I was gonna ask Magnus when ever he got around to working out how we are going to redo pilots and commanders of vehicles but since you brought it up..... :lol:

    I'm not sure if that's been decided or not..............

    Better wait before I say something that may not be true.

    If I'm online tonight or tomorrow I can try to talk newcomers into how to setup and use MekHQ and basic character creation.

    In fact, why don't I plan on that for tonight.

    Skwisgaar's Intro to MegaMek/MekHQ Workshop

    Tonight, 8:30 EST. I'll help anybody new to the campaign with navigating MekHQ, selecting units and creating your character.

    Before logging on be sure to download and extract the campaign file listed in the opening post in this thread so that we won't be waiting too much on downloads and can move forward at the same pace.

    if you are bringing back your old character, you will need to download both the newest version AND "OLD VERSION (MHQ1.22 & MP3.9)". the "old version" has the old campaign save where we had just finished Operation Descending Fire
