Trying out Mech Attack!

I love mechas a lot. 

But I rarely play any games with them, usually due to my percived lack of good rules to play with. So when I did a search recently Mech Attack popped up more than a few times, and almost always with nothing but good things being mentioned, so I thought it was high time to play more with some big stompy robots!

A quickly but together battlefield, as I hadn't finished up my taller buildings yet, more on those in a few days!

The red team. 

And the blue team. 

I've been thinking that they might become houses of their own, maybe house Cerulean and house Scarlet or something like that. I like the Battletech fluff and such, so I might end up borrowing from it quite a lot.

Wierd angle shot, I'll try not to make any more of these!

The giants slowly move to engage..

 

The Blue medium (I really need to come up with some names for these guys!) gets the first hits in, knocking of some armor from red medium, and destroying some heatsinks. Ouch

Red heavy tries and fails to even hit his opponent, keeping up the preformance from his loan to the USS perhaps?

The red medium makes a more inpressive show of it, destroying the left arm of blue medium. It doesn't take long before the blue heavy has a swarm of missiles take off the same left arm from red though.

With just the one arm, red medium goes all out, firing every weapon system he has, and it pays off!
The blue mech takes 2 critical hits, the damage overloading the system and the mech is out of the fight!

Sadly for the red medium, another swarm of missiles from the blue mech puts a stop to any further involvement in this fight, as he takes no less than 3 crits and is taken out as well!

Now in my enthusiasm I forgot to take any photos untill the final fiery explosion. The red mech managed to cripple one leg of the blue mech, allowing him to stay close, inside the minimum range of the missiles at least half of the time.
They both took quite a savage beating, none of them had more than a handful of armor blocks left on the grid by the time the red mech managed a lucky hit that blew the power core of his opponent.

It was lots of fun, but I realize that I'll probably re-design the mechs a bit for the next fight and see if I can't manage to paint up four more units, so I'll have a full lance per side!

I should have another game of Laserstorm and Clarkes 3rd adventure up in a few days, along with the buildings that I started making for these guys.

Til next time!
