1. When playing faction pure Stormhammers, try to avoid swearing at your opponent in German.

2. When playing faction pure, don't fake any accents that the faction has in the storyline, because you will look like an idiot.

3. If you get a bye for the round, don't get out the pure Wolf's Dragoons battleforce and offer to join in on anyone's side for money.

4. Don't make explosion or machine gun noises (a kid did that once, and it was very annoying).

5. Don't throw your opponents units.

6. If your opponent is being a jerk, don't smack him with the tape measurer from across the table.

7. Don't eat your opponents units.

8. Don't yell "Tactical Nuke!" and wipe all the units off of the table and onto the floor, and then start throwing terrain up into the air, and making explosion noises.

9. Don't start fires.

10. Don't throw ICE 'Mechs or Peasant Companies, it could put an eye out.

11. Just because you hit your opponent's 'Mech with Flamers does not mean you can pull out a match and burn it. This is also related to rule number 9.

Well mine suck, but its the best I can do.

As stated many times before, restrain yourselves from going all-out Clan on your opponent!

Highlander players are reminded to not bring bagpipes to the venue. If not, at least play something other than "Amazing Grace" when something dies!

Swords are legal for transport, not for use. Especially on yourself.

No eye patches. Not even if OEJ is on the board.

Keep all Hand-to-Hand and Brawling attacks outside the venue, please.

Bribe the BM all you want, you're not getting that Mason Dunne.

If you insist on making sound effects/providing battle damage, see your psychiatrist.

Do not bring up the Not-named Clan. Ever.

Paint your kill markers AFTER the game.

Bringing Vanilla Coke is just as bad as mentioning the Annihilated Clan.

Not everyone in the world is Christian, so please be understanding if they don't quite understand why you're screaming Jesus as your 'Mechs go down.

Hey!! ... I like Vanilla Coke ... :/

Hey...I don't know about Vanilla Coke...but don't go there!!!

*Places HL peasant company in his WK issued ruler and begins the wind up*

(this was really suggested at our venue)

Don't lean across the table and whip your opponent with your WK tape measure and yell "Yar Mule, Yar, giddy up, common mule YAR!!" if they are taking too long with thier turn.

dont bring your girlfriend to a game. The shock of a girl being in the venue is unfair because it distracts the other players.

Again...things you shouldn't do...

1. When totalling up your points and writing them down for the "nice" BM...do not replace the math with the written statement... "I broke him down like a double-barrell shotgun and horse****** him!" (Exactly where do 12 year olds learn this stuff?)

2. Unrestricted Tournament does not mean it is an anything goes game...no eye gouging, ear biting, or low blows are allowed!

3. When the delivery guy walks in with the chineese food...please keep a civil tongue...he probaly has no idea what a "Dirty Friggin' Cappie" is...also he probably won't deliver again.

4. No WD-40 and lighters are allowed to be used anytime "Pyro" Peterson is on the board.

5. Finally...if you think it might be funny...just don't expect to go back to that venue again!

Do not do the following:

When you lose a 'Mech, do not try and imitate your lancemates from any MW PC game. (i.e. no yelling: "EJECTING!!!!")

Do not take your opponents salvaged or destroyed vehicles or Mechs after the game and claim them as the spoils of war.

Do not take your opponents infantry as POW's.

If you see an opponent with a VTOL swarm, do not yell: "Crosswinds!!" and blow them all of the field onto the floor.

If those don't work, anybody ever started humming the theme to "Airwolf" :grin: when using your DF Donar?

what is the theme from airwolf i haven't watched that show in years.

Here's some stuff that I've had to put up with during games:

Your opponant constantly flicking, clicking and rolling their dice during your turn.

Constantly playing with thier ruler during your turn-running it through their fingers like they are on Jolt Cola.

Measuring everything on the board during your turn so that you have to literally stop measuring your own stuff so the rulers don't get tangled.

Having their buddy come over after their game and coaching your opponant on how to beat you.

Taking so long during your turn that I only got in barely 4 rounds.

Asking you what you are going to do with each unit of yours on the board-ie: playing the game for you.

Asking you what trades you have or trying to make small talk during your game.


This of course was mostly young kids.

I musts object to the small talk comment.

I believe it adds a little to the game. It would be more disconcerting to play against someone who never speaks except to declare attacks.

Other things not to do during a mechawarrior game:

Use Pizza slices as hindering terrain.

allow live lizards to sit on the playing surface (Look - a Dragon!.. so funny on so many levels)

Say "You're fired.' everytime flamers are used.

Whistle the theme to the Smurfs while fielding a Swordsworn army.

Very nice lt_murgen...glad to see a few people got the point of this post!

Here's a few more...

1. If the dice aren't rolling good...the toilet is not the proper recepticle to dispose of them. (You want to talk about HINDERING TERRAIN...wait til a few people back that sucker up with a couple hundred dice!)

2. Look...yeah, the BM forgot the terrain pieces...but do not snatch the toupee off that slightly older player and declare it as hindering terrain!

3. Just becasue the LE infantry is called the "Killer Clowns" does not mean you can fit ALL of them in the Bannson's Raiders Sprint Scout Helicopter...I don't care how many times you've seen something like that at the circus!

4. Do not use a carpenters chalk line to measure whether you have line of sight!

5. No spraying of any bug killing products like "Raid" when attempting to kill a Wasp or Spider!

If you are using the "Killer Clowns" infantry units, do not whistle the circus song when ever they do anything (use command, move shoot, etc.)

Don't tell your wife to stop throwing her BR faction dice when she can't roll a 10 -- you'll pay for it for days.
