Last night a buddy and I had our first game of Gruntz. We skipped some rules and screwed up some others but we didn't care. We enjoyed the rules quite a bit. We decided to go with Meeting of the Minds for a scenario. We had talked about something other than outright slaughter but for our first game we thought killing should be our only concern. Here's a pretty pic of my army before the battle. That's 394 points of Germanic Space might. I'll post some more pics of my guys in the Painting and Modeling section later. We didn't keep great track of the game, so this isn't going to be a full AAR. Instead, I'll just post a pic of the aftermath. Turns out, I brought a knife to a gun fight. His tanks made mince meat of each of my 5 light APCs and my 2 mini mechs. The only thing I had that could damage his tanks was my giant mech and he got bogged down holding the other flank. It was demoralizing, embarrassing, and a ton of fun. We learned a lot about the rules and broke our years long miniature-gaming drought. Huzzah! We're both going to remake our lists for next time. I don't see how he's going to make his guys deadlier but I've got ideas for mine.

Looks fun. What are those light APCs and can we get a close up?

Some of the vehicles look like Old-crow Grav to me.

The green grav tanks are Combat Wombat after some examination. They have his reactive armor all over them.

Yes those are Scotty's Combat Wombat tanks in the lower picture. The top picture, the light APC with the side rails. Those I haven't seen before. The gamer geek in me wants to see more of them.

Theres another thread down in the painted stuff forum. He has a link to his flikr with a bunch of pictures. He also goes into how he made them.
