The following is an excerpt of a blog article.  Read Full Article

What do you do when you've got a big 4x8 table of urban terrain setup after a mini-convention? You play Mech Attack on it, which four of us did recently. We usually play Mech Attack at the club using 10mm Scale rebased Mechwarrior Clix miniatures. However, we do have a stock for 28mm mechs for convention games...

These are hard-to-find Resin models of actual Battletech Mechs from a variety of sources. Paired with the Grey Lance: L to R. Robotech Toy, 2 Macross ...

The group's collection of larger scale mechs is most impressive! I also enjoyed the fact that as an adult I got to once again play with a toy I had as a kid. Haha.

Your observations match exactly my feelings regarding the experience compared to Battletech.
