The commline ablaze with determination. An army of war-forged metal titans on the heights.The enemy entrenched in the valley below, weapons charged and loaded.
Then you give the order, and armies surge toward each other, banners streaming as lasers, autocannons, and missiles sear and shatter! Will your star-spanning empire win the day? Only you will decide!
Do you want to learn to pilot a mech? On Saturday, November 14th, 2026, GameKnight is preparing our hangar bay for new pilots to learn the ways of BattleTech: Alpha Strike! This Learn-to-Play event is open to everyone and is completely free, with no materials or experience required. Drop-in friendly, this session will run from 10 am to 4 pm. Experienced mech pilots will be on hand to teach any new recruits.
RSVPing helps us know how many new recruits to expect so we can plan accordingly. It is not necessary in order to attend, so even if you haven’t RSVPed, please still come down! No obligation!
Active mech pilots are also welcome to come down for some free Open Play alongside the new recruits. We simply ask that you be prepared to welcome and engage with wannabe pilots and help them into the game.
Now, you might ask yourself, what IS BattleTech: Alpha Strike?
It is the 32nd century. For a millennia, mankind has waged wars across thousands of worlds in human-occupied space. The Great Houses. The Clans. The Periphery. A myriad of star empires claiming ascendance, as others wane or fall. They marshal MechWarriors who owe them fealty, each one the master of a towering avatar of destruction: the BattleMech.
Now you are given command of these modern-day knights, dropped onto a battlefield: use your wits and skill to bring victory, or end up a casualty on a forgotten world.
BattleTech is the world’s greatest armored-combat game. And in Alpha Strike, you take command of large-scale engagements with tabletop-miniatures gameplay designed for the modern wargamer. Inside includes everything you need to start tossing dice and charging toward the enemy on your gaming table.
Do you want to know more? Come down for our Learn-to-Play session!
