On this episode of The Second Circuit, we are joined by Focht's Network veteran and Periphery Frankenstein (the doctor, not the monster) Jo Becker from Focht's Monday Knights game at Sir Games-A-Lot in Barrie Ontario!

Jo got into BattleTech the way all good hobbyists want it to happen, he walked up to a table and was intrigued! Then discovered his spirit animal in 'Mech form and was locked in for life. The Barrie game is one of a few games being held at their store that is a major centerpiece for the 'Lakeward Periphery' area. Is the Outworlds Alliance the most normal nation in the setting? What's with their pilots? Where is the video game for that, FreeSpace or Star Fox, or Ace Combat? Jo hacks up minis to make them better, sometimes just to improve poses and sometimes for cool variants. Don't use plastic cement, and green stuff is optional!

On this episode of The Second Circuit, Jesse, Austin, and Scott are getting in to some of the specifics of what's happening at our tables.

We are cautiously optimistic about the rule changes in the playtests so far! Scott learned to love being able to shelter a side and target it besides. Jesse is concerned about what it means for focusing on the sides instead of the back. Austin is bringing some Long Tom Cannons to Alpha Strike! That means bad things for a DropShip, but DropShips are weird on the table anyway. And what's the deal with those Samurai Pizza 'Mechs coming out?

On this episode of The Second Circuit, Jesse and Austin welcome Paul Clarkson the founder and director of the Focht's Network Events Team to the show!

For obvious reasons this one is a little Focht's coded as we talk about how Focht's got started and what it's all on about. But we also touch on some of Paul's favourites including the Waco Rangers, combined arms, the Mechnificent 7, and of course: Land-Air 'Mechs.
