Since object
permanence, "piloted giant fighting robots" was one of my
favorite genres. A goal for the past 30+ years has been to be able to take what was on the T.V.
screen and
game it with dice and miniatures. Sad, but there it is.
Many different rules for tabletop
mecha games
have been discovered and played in that time. Some were great, but were more
RPG than wargame. Some were sufficiently complex to scare off
new players. Some were just bad. There were others that ignored their source material and were just tall tanks that
overheated a lot.
Then, on a safari for free tabletop wargames online,
I stumbled across
WARP SPAWN GAMES and found a
game called
"Meka Tac"
which, with a little work, did within reason what was asked of
it. There's
lots of
other very cool stuff there, and also
on the Yahoo! Group/message board
warpspawn. |
