I have a ton of mechwarrior miniatures lying around. It would be cool to have a 1 page rules of mech battles at that scale 😬

Ive thought the same. I havent had time, but considered making a homebrew from the Orions Gate component and attack mechanics, with terrain rules from GFF.

That would be cool, but so is Alpha Strike.

Maybe one day we could have a mech game...

I have a lot of the Mech Warrior Dark Age miniatures and want to try running a Grimdark Future game with them. They are based with groups of five miniatures, so removing dead models is not possible, but at that scale, if I can keep track of how many are lost, that can be worked-with (they are grouped in unit coherency anyhow).

Just add impact/suppression counters next to them! plus, they look cool. I do that sometimes when I cannot be bothered with the fiddlyness of individual 6mm miniatures and stick squads on magnetic bases. |

I'm assuming you are scaling the game down from 28mm? |

I'm assuming you are scaling the game down from 28mm? Hmm, yes, I probably should. I guess it depends on what size table is used. It could be played on a standard 6x4 table and give a crazy sense of scale by using the standard distances. But, you could also use a smaller 2x2 or 3x3 table (e.g. a coffee table or the size of my kitchen table) and use 1/2 or 1/3 the distances...or convert to centimeters from inches (Something I have done for converting another 28mm game to 10 or 15mm.) |

For 6mm miniatures, i convert 1 inch into 0.5 cms... makes it sometimes a bit fiddly, but preserves the relative scales...

It would certainly work for a very small playing surface, since troops would be mostly moving about 3cm at a time. For anyone who played Epic 40K, what were the move distances in that game like? |

Multiples of 5. Infantry typically 10cm, fast infantry 15. Vehicles could be 20 to 40cm per turn.
When I play individually mounted 6mm, I just use cm intead of inches. I think it helps to spread out a bit. I have no desire to work with half centimeters.
For my Epic 40K play, I've switched to 4" (10cm) hexes. With lots of little tiny figures, I love just picking 'em up and putting 'em down. I can't stand fiddly.

use a die next to the unit to keep track of how many individuals are in the unit?
