Some friends and I got together last week to play another game of Alpha Strike. This time around we played the Reconnaissance mission using the Easter Egg Hunt variant. Essentially both sides are trying to find their 6 objectives from 12 possible locations. Some may be the same as the opponent and some may not be.
Both sides fielded 3 lances and all the pilots had skill 4 today. I think giving everyone skill 2 was just too bloody.
The game ended up with the Kurita force having all 6 objectives, but earning fewer points from kills. The Black Jack's had 5 objectives. There was only a difference of about 5 victory points at the end of the game so we called it a draw.
I think everyone had a good time and there was some crazy action with an actual Death From Above attack from one of our younger pilots. The attack didn't hit, but it was interesting to see.
You can see more pictures and a full write up of the battle on my blog. http://gamingandshooting.blogspot.com/2015/03/battletech-alpha-strike-aar-easter-egg.html
