Since time appears to be at a premium, there has to be a different way. Since just about everyone is a Mercenary, we're going to have a Merc campaign. Using a system similar to MW2: Mercenaries, we're going to see who can become the best 'Merc unit in the Inner Sphere.

Everyone will start out will an initial warchest of 200,000,000 C-Bills, in addition to any 12 Inner Sphere 'Mechs. The initial 'Mechs must contain NO clan weapontry, and any Level 3 equipment must be allayed (paid out) of your initial warchest, no getting your ELRMS and hardened armor gratis. That said, it's a large chunk of change.

Until you've used 12 different 'Mechs, you're free to choose your force. After that, you'll have to pay for additional 'Mechs. Customs cost double, so choose wisely. At the end of the month, you'll be charged 10% of your total 'Mechs costs (2% if you do not fight a mission in the month, Mr. Mothball) + 3000 C-Bills per active 'Mech for payroll.

If you want to use vehicles or battle armor, let me know, and I'll post their maintenence costs as well.

Please post on the forum, under the new "Contract acceptance" subboard which mission you would like to take on. Remember, there MIGHT be a "suprise" in each mission, so don't expect any mission to be easy or safe.
