RE: Miniature War Games
Posted by: joerevesz <joerevesz@...>
I play Battletech once or twice a year at small game conventions. I have a couple dozen metal mech minis as well. My favorite is the Panther. For those how don't know, Battletech is all about giant robotic vehicles with equally giant weapons.
From Wikipedia – "Chicago-based FASA Corporation's original, 1984 BattleTech game focuses on enormous robotic, semi-humanoid battle machines called BattleDroids. Their name was changed to BattleMechs in the second edition because George Lucas and Lucasfilm held the rights to the term "droid." The visual design of the earliest line of BattleMechs were taken from Macross and other anime, including many signature images."
Mechs are one thing that would be fun to add to DragonRaid 3000, if I ever get around to the project. Could you see LightRaider mechs fighting cybernetically enhanced dragons and hordes of goblins and orcs in Elemental suits?

We do battletech on occasion. I have tons of stuff for it and have ran a number of campaigns for it.

Off topic.
Do any of you play miniature or table-top wargames? There are dozens out there, though I would like to see if anyone here plays games by Ground Zero Games or Steve Jackson Games.
