I want to thank pirateware for helping teach me how to connect in Lackey.  This
plugin is apparently different somehow from the earlier one.  We played one
match, and it was awesome, and man was I rusty at building a deck with unlimited
possibilities :D

Ok I think I may have this Lackey program figured out, maybe.  I was finally
able to get onto the LACKEY server and host a game.  I am going to be on for a
good portion of the day Saturday the 14th, to see if I can get others to try it
out with me.

I will be logged into yahoo as well, so folks can IM me if you are having
issues.  I will be using my name for hosting ( pirateware ) and the other should
be ( MasterBlammy ).

If anyone is interested in giving this a try great - hope to see you around.  I
am hoping to have 2 sessions going so that more than one person can be playing
at a time. I will have a 1vs1 game and a another set up with 5 seats or so...

You can email me as well if you know ahead of time that you want to try.  That
way we can set up a meeting time or what not.

Good luck and hope to see some of you on.

I have not had any luck in getting a game to work over an Internet connection. 
Lackey should have its own server - yet I have not been able to connect to it
either.

Has anyone been able to get a game to work accross an Internet Connection? or
for that matter over a Local Area Network?

Ok, I have found a few file sharing sites.  I will be uploading and providing
download links; like this one,

http://www.badongo.com/file/18349798

When I get a couple more, I will remove the files I uploaded on this group site
and replace it with a Text File with all the download links in it.  After that
time I will go back and replace all the files I had removed earlier.

~pirateware

Well I understand he removed files he put up, but its only a short term solution
at best, what if someone else wanted to upload something?  It is shared group,
and btw, just because I commented on it did not mean I was being Harsh either. 
If I had wanted to be harsh you would have seen a much longer 'rant' about it.

Is this one any different? I found a copy online previously and would really
like to not download the exact same files again.

You could have just asked me to host it again, seeing as I created the plugin in
the first place :)

I could have just posted the links for downloading the Files, but as with the
other few Online CCG programs listed here in the group, where the host sites are
now down - and most likely permanently, I didn't want this to happen for the
group.

If anyone has a nice file hosting site, let me know - and I will gladly dump the
files there and link them here.(something other than Rapidshare please)

Thanks,
pirateware

Thanks Pirateware, I know we'll all get good use out of it. I'll keep looking to
see if we can organize any matches through here...

He also only removed files he had uploaded himself.. Thats something I believe
is his right. But lets not start a flame war. Lets try Lackey out :-)

It would have been simpler to host it elsewhere and post a link to it.   Heck, I
could lend 100 MB of space for it no problem, as to remove all the files in the
Group.  Of course noone was asked that I recall you just did it.

Well folks, it only took me 4 attempts and about 4hrs, but we now have it. 
LackeyCCG with the BT:CCG plugin for everyones pleasure.

I had to remove every file I had in the group to get the LACKEY program to fit,
so apologies there, but what do you do?  The BT:CCG plugin itself was 85meg, and
you only get 100meg with the group.

I won't keep it posted for very long, so get it while you can.  I'm going to
remove it to put back my other files by the beginning of the new year 2010.

I have messed around with this a little bit, and its not so bad.  Haven't done
anything with a live person, but I have created Decks and dueled against myself.

If you have any questions, go ahead and toss them my way.  I am no expert with
this program, but I can pry help you with getting started and point out how to

Gracias, thanks, tack! :-)

You would only roll when a Vehicle receives damage.  If it has damage counters
on it, and it goes on another mission and doesn't receive any damage, then you
don't reroll for the counters it already has.

Hi fellow Mech Commanders :-)  (feels great to say that whe one's 40 yrs old)

I know that if one of my vehicles is damaged I have to roll a dice to check if
he will end up in the scrapheap. But.. if he survives & I don't repair him, will
I have to roll AGAIN if he participates in a NEW mission (maybe during my next
turn) EVEN if he doesn't get damaged again (ie his OLD damage counter is still
there)??

In other words; Do I need to roll again (due to OLD damage counters)??

Hello everyone,

I used to be a heavy Battletech card player back in the late 90's and loved
playing the game up until WotC abandoned it.  Due to my moving around a bit, I
tossed most of my cards, but I did save all of my rares though.  It is fun to
look back at the cards and think back to all the fun I had back then.  I am glad
that I found this group and its nice to know that people still play the game.

Due to my unemployment situation, I'm willing to sell a lot of these cards.  I
have most of everything that was rare, except the Double Overtime card.  Most of
my collection are black boarder cards, some of them have the green boarder
(second edition I think) and I have some of the commander edition cards as well.
I have a lot of rare cards.  If anyone is looking for some of them to complete a
collection, shoot me a message here or email me at jolsonp@...  I'm in the
western burbs of Chicago.

I also have a custom airbrushed shirt that has the artwork of Bearers of
McKinskis' Hammer for sale too.  One of the guys I played with a lot did custom
airbrushing on the side.  I'll see if can post a picture of it here.  The size
is XL and it has been worn a couple of times, but I have washed and cleaned it. 
It looks like new.

~John

oh right, of course, i was under the impression that you were saying you
couldn't first tap war funds for it's resource supply before using it's special
'scrap' ability to seek out another resource card from your deck. no i know
there isn't a 'resource pool' like a 'mana pool' in magic.

War Funds not being able to tap for a resource AND sac to grab a resource from
the deck. Is this a Wizards thing? Is there a ruling somewhere I don't know
about or is this a result of the phases in Battletech getting switched around
(something I still struggle to understand) In my view, Tapping for a resource
doesn't sacrifice the card, and sacrificing the card to search for a resource in
the deck does not require the card to be untapped first... Anyway, I could be
wrong, and if there's a ruling out there, i'm sure i am.
