Hi all (Publishers hat again) Please forgive the cross posting For all of you patiently waiting for the Polemos Napoleonic rules, we have encountered a postal...
Plexiglas or Lexan is scratch resistant enough for use as a game base, but it has the following limits I have run across: A: It is difficult to cut precisely...
If I really needed "bipedal" mechs, I'd consider the gate of a Baboon. Humans are not originally intended to walk full upright. The lack of bone supports for...
Hello all, I am new to this group as well as 6mm gaming, and recently I have become very interested in being able to wargame the glory that was Poland during...
... Scribing quite deeply and from both sides helps in getting clean breaks. I rarely have to throw away pieces (less than 1 in 20), usually when a scribing...
A walking firehydrant....hmmm, its an ugly thought, but it may just work! :-) Yes, I don't get walkers in general and bipedals in particular. Of course the...

I have a 6mm Ottoman army from Irregular. It depends on the level of detail you want. Looking at the bare figures they don't look like much. However, they...
No, I wasn't suggesting flying ones either, just smaller bipedal mechs (two - three times the size of a human) for recon work. Four - six- legged would be...
The one thing always seems strange to me is all the heat management that players have to deal with mechs. I don't play any games using them but I've read...
My Renaissance Armies are all irregular miniatures. The figures are good and like someone else stated they look better painted. My armies are French, Italian...

Hi Another quick question. What does a base represent in these rules? A Brigade? A Division? John ... Yahoo! Messenger NEW - crystal clear PC to PC calling...

I don't think anyone makes a range for chinese of that period. The only 6mm Chinese range I know is that by Irregular Miniatures, they aren't given any date...
... Maybe these games are to take place on a planet with a very very thin atmoshpere and MG refers to "machine gun." Since there is very little gas to expand,...
With a thin atmosphere a MG bullet would do better than on earth. There wouldn't be an atmosphere of pressure to act against the expansion of the gases in the...
I forget where, but I saw a field dispersion table for troops, and since the end of rank and file warfare in Napoleonic period it has affected troops more and...

Heat was one of several problems I had with battletech. The concept of a limiting factor I could understand, but if the mech were that hot, any kind of IR...
