Bash x Bash +++ Flames of Orion

I attended a Bash x Bash event at Modern Games in Bend OR . Held by my friend CosmicKraken aka Mike, the Bash x Bash is a simple premise. People show up with bits, tools, glue, etc and proceed to bash together a miniature or two, then play in a few small games. This event was for the game Flames of Orion.

Everyone was encouraged to bash together two mechs for Flames and we would then play an intro style game against multiple opponents.

All the mechs bashed together!

The one thing forgot was bases, whooops. With all the mechs bashed together Mike and Evan brought us through how to kit out our mechs. We had 50,000 credits to split amongst our two mechs and throw down against our opponents.

My first game was a short lived affair against Evan who rolled hotter than the stars of Orion and obliterated me. We re-racked and ran it one more time, which had far less feels bad moments and more monents of exploding mechs.

My second game was against Jace's fast moving and far shooting mechs. My goal was to cluster my two mechs together, run up the field, lay down some cover fire, and get into combat. What does that mean? WE ARE RUNNING HOT. In the end my big mech, The Terror reached his heat limit and took out every remaining mech on the board.

This was a great little event that got people together in the spirit of the hobby.
