Title: Mechas?
Post by: Last Hussar on 03 December 2024, 01:46:57 PM
Flirting with the 'Big Tin Samurai' idea yet again.

May well come to nothing, but just out of interest any suggestions on rules and figures for mechas? Don't really want the incredibly complicated fifteen million hit-points versions I played (FASA?) in the 80s.

"JUGS - A game of big stompy robots" is available to download free here - https://app.box.com/s/0b5nnx4677j09lpjpqho

A friend put on a game for four of us and acted as GM. He'd designed our mechs in advance and kept us right on the rules so I wouldn't claim to know them in any depth but they gave a good game IMHO.

I've downloaded the JUGS rules and just need to work out where in the lead (or in this case plastic) mountain range my Wizkids mechs are.

I believe at least some of these are the fruit of your labours Techno.

I reckon I made a few dozen, Mike...but I couldn't say for certain which ones.
Some of the ones I've recently sold were still in blisters and had the designer's name printed on them.
I only vaguely remembered the ones with my name on.
They became a bit of a blur when I was making them.
Finish one and then straight into the next. ;)
