The King of the Mountain Challenge Match pits a total of thirty Inner Sphere Mechs in a race to retrieve the coveted Kai Allard-Liao Cup from the top of Devil's Mountain and return it to their starting point. Mechs are chosen by the players. Any Inner Sphere Mech between 55 and 75 tons can be used. The faster the Mech, the farther it will start from the mountain. The goal is to race to the top of the mountain, retrieve the cup, and bring it back to your staring point without getting blown-up. Piloting 4 and Gunnery 3 are used by all players regardless of Mech.
1. Picking up the Cup: This requires a Mech with at least one hand. Mechs must
move in the hex with the Cup and spend 3 movement points (MP) to pick it up. One
MP to bend down, one MP to grab Cup, and one MP to stand up are used to perform
this maneuver.
2. Holding the Cup: Any time a Mech is holding the Cup and is subjected to any
sucessful attack (20+ points of damage or physical attack) or performs a jump, the
player must make a piloting skill roll at +2 to continue holding the Cup.
3. If the Mech transporting the Cup is destroyed, the Cup is positioned
in the same hex as the destroyed Mech.
4. Mechs cannot combine jumping movement with the MP's spent to pick up
the KAL Cup.
5. All BattleTech Compendium 3rd Edition Rules will apply. Initiative will be dertermined
by drawing cards from a standard card deck and determining movement and fire by random
card assignment.
