S.C.A.R.A.B (pic hvy)
« on: 06 February 2011, 03:02:01 »
 Greetings All,

     On January 14th through the 16th I was fortunate to attend a gamers convention right here in my home town of Columbia South Carolina. It was called South Carolina Area Roleplayers And Boardgamers. What made it really special was that there was going to be a Battletech tourny. On the 14th and th 16th I had arranged to set up a demo game for all comers. Unfortunately I never got any new players, but I did however have 5 players from my area show up and play. It turns out that some of them have been playing together once a week for the past 20 years, so I felt extremely lucky to find some other diehards in my area.

   On Friday I ran a scenario that was a Historical re-enactment of the Jade Falcon vs Com Guards battle on the planet of Tukayyid. All of the units and terrain I painted/created especially for this scenario. Bellow are some of the pics from that day.

Here are some pics of the units used in the battle.

Com Guard units from the 388th Division.

  Since I had the same group of players from Friday, on Sunday I decided to run a Pirate raid scenario. Here are a couple of pics from that day.

The defenders are all set up.

A sacrifice for the Mission!

Excellent looking game.

And it's always nice when Btechers find each other.

totally. I'm not ordinarily a fan of cardstock buildings, but those look great.

...Jealous.  Haven't had a BT game in forever now as I can't find anyone in this tiny TX town that plays and your scenery is tops!  That looks like it was a blast to play and that Overlord looks fantastic among those buildings!

I really like those trees. Where did you get them?

  The trees were a Ebay purchase from Singaore (really, really cheap like 50 for around $2) I just had to add them to bases and flock them.

Thanks. In this setup it was actually a  disabled Battle Taxi. I have home made overlords that are more in scale for my terrain.
