OPERATION JUNO: D-day CBT Narrative Event

Saturday, June 8th, 2024
3 Rounds - Clan Invasion Era

"You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, The eyes of the Inner Sphere are upon you.   The hopes of liberty loving castes across the galaxy march with you."  
Galaxy Commander Eisenhower

Join us in commemorating the historical battle for Juno Beach on D-day through a Classic Battletech Charity Tournament. This first of a series of historical CBT events will be based on the epic struggle our Canadian Forces faced on Juno Beach, June 6th, 1944. Land your battlemechs on Juno Beach and pit them against the defenders of the Atlantic Wall to pave the way for the liberation Terra!   We are taking the historical data, photos and accounts to re-enact the historical battle, and ask the age old question. "But what if they had mechs?"

A portion of the proceeds of the event will go to support the veterans of Legion Hall 60.
