Gallery: Two Alpha Strike Games
Since the early 2010’s, CSW has played a variety of games with armies of re-based, pre-painted “Mechwarrior Dark Age” clix miniatures that we purchased in bulk after the demise of that game. The scale of these miniatures is alternately known as 10mm, N Scale or 1/160. That does make them significantly larger than the traditional ... Read more
N-Scale Buildings and other AliExpress finds.
Recently I’ve been shopping AliExpress for all manner of small items; mostly wargaming-useful items and guitar parts. Today I’ve got a few very affordable items to share that I’ve purchased for 10mm (N-scale) sci-fi Mecha gaming but might have other use as well. The miniatures for comparison are all Mechwarrior “Dark Age” Clix figures. The ... Read more
Small-Scale Building Commissions
I recently completed my first small-scale commission work. Two different customers both requested 6mm buildings. The finished structures below borrow shamelessly from Sean Patten’s inspiring Gundam terrain, and like his, they are based around cassette tape cases with a variety of added bits. As I don’t have any 6mm miniatures, I’ve used 10mm rebased Mechwarrior ... Read more
Mech Attack Playtest: Flyers, Jump Jets and Fisticuffs!

Alpha Strike Game Report and Review
At last week’s club night, Jon, Tyler and I tried Alpha Strike for the first time. Alpha Strike is the new game set in the Battletech universe, using simplified mechanics and terrain (rather than a hex map) to enable larger battles that play faster than the traditional Classic Battletech rules. Rather than using the usual ... Read more
New plastic buildings from Proxie Models
Continuing my habit of working on projects with no bearing on the club’s current games, I recently acquired and assembled a couple of the new plastic buildings produced by Proxie Models. Though originally designed for 15mm scale miniatures, I will be using them for our 10mm scale sci-fi battles and have made a few modifications ... Read more
Mech Attack and Panzer 8 for 10mm sci-fi gaming
Last week, while Pat and Josh were playing This is Not a Test, the rest of us were playing Mech Attack and Panzer 8 sci-fi. For 10mm gaming, most of us have rebased Mechwarrior clix without any repainting. However, there are some exceptions. Tim has repainted his mechs in a green scheme that matches his ... Read more
Trying out Panzer 8 for quick-play sci-fi mass combat
And now, for something completely different — after weeks and weeks of our Song of Blades & Heroes campaign, the club was itching to try something off the beaten path. Let’s see … what’s about the farthest you can get from 28mm fantasy? Oh yeah, 10mm sci-fi! For one of our earliest club projects, we ... Read more
