For my Mech Attack games, I use the Battleforce scale BT minis from Iron Wind Metals.

Most players I've talked to have had a lot of good things to say about it, so I'd recommend you try it, I don't think you'll regret it!

Looks like it flew faster than an equivalent Battletech match, which would have my interests for sure.Weaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05873440251698488032noreply@blogger.com
