Having had run Leviathans demos (Shakedown Cruises), for my 5 local gaming stores and 1 Gaming Club (5+1) here in Eastern Pennsylvania, I have been very fortunate that many BattleTech gamers all across Eastern Pennsylvania are open to giving Leviathans a Shakedown Cruise or three. (If Leviathans succeeds, we will have BattleTech gamers to thank for that success, in my opinion.)

I hope our Catalyst Demo Team (CDT) BattleTech agents follow suit and attend one or both of today’s panels:

- 2-3pm: Leviathans Casual Play (Standard & Free) in 2026.

- 6-7pm: Leviathan's Competitive Play (Standard & Free) in 2026 panel.

I will be chairing both panels later on today, I may or may not have fellow panelists. I will proved a preamble to each panel, the cover down on the topics in-play for 2025 for my 5+1 and gamers in Eastern Pennsylvania. This will be followed by a Q&A portion and a final words from any fellow panelists, and a final statement from me.

Who am I? ~ I retired from the Army as a LTC, over a dozen years ago. I commanded a US Army Recruiting Company, and ran week-long Security Officer Certification seminars for USASOC. Running a panel is something with which I am familiar.
