Impetus, Republician Romans v Gauls, 28mm.
Three players, all used to the rules although we hadnt used them for a while, so had to check a few things.
Scenario was victorious Roman General is ambushed on his way back to his fortress, he must try and get his wagons of loot safely across the table. Happily for me my Gauls raced across the table and routed the Roman Generals command at the end of turn 5. Not even a relief force of Romans could get to him in time to help. A rare victory for my Gauls!

1/ Battletech. Using minis on proper terrain instead of map sheets.
2/ Lyran Alliance militia versus Gleesons Stalwarts mercenary company under contract to the Free Worlds League. Lyrans were a mostly old tech mech company and a "combat support & HQ guard" of vehicles - hover tanks with great honking autocannon, ECM choppers, supply trucks and the really nasty surprise - two hover-arty pieces with MLRS equivalents. The mercs are upgraded Inner Sphere with some captured Clan mechs.
3/ yes but took a while to spin up to speed. And we had too many units on board, and with con distractions things get slow!
4/ some of us are over a quarter century in use with the rules :D
5/ four to six as people dropped in & out

1. BBB
2. Battle of Shiloh - chaps in blue v. chaps in grey
3. Settled to the rules very quickly and they gave an excellent game.
4. First time I'd played BBB - but had read them through about 5 times and I am also regularly on the BBB Yahoo site.
5. Two players.

Pierre the Shy was commanding the British who were withdrawing towards Dunkirk. They turned to delay the beastly Hun and promptly knocked the blighters for six ;)

Peter ambushed my advancing Germans and knocked out almost all my armour (5 tanks and 2 armoured cars) losing one armoured car, a cruiser and a company of infantry in exchange :-[

An enjoyable game none the less ;)
