Last week the club got together to playtested a scenario for a game we're running using the "Mech Attack" rules, but scaled up to 28mm. Full writeup here:
chicagoskirmish.blogspot.com/2013/04/playtest-28mm-mech-attack-scenario-for.html
A few pics to entice your visit. Suffice to say it was alot of fun. Mech attack at 10mm (our usual scale) is very enjoyable, but at 28mm it's truely epic!

Lots of pics in the blog post above. however, we've purposely not shown you everything yet. Next weeks playtest report and the Little Wars event a few days later will have a few surprises....

I've got a P&M blog showing the models in progress (there's more to come) here:

Thanks guys.
Finished up a couple more mech models this weekend and we just had our second playtest this evening. We streamlined a few more rules for the convention and trimmed back the force lists by about 20% and the scenario went even more smoothly. Feeling very confident.

Should have another Blog or two about this game and it's preparation coming soon.

Game went great! A blog post about it will be up soon. Our fearless leader Dagger offered a free copy of the game to the winners (will email you their contacts soon) and everyone had a good time.

In the meantime here's a post with finished pics of all the mechs we used, where they are from and height measurements.

A few teaser pics. More on the blog.
