Has anyone put these side-by-side yet to see if they would work together?

Dropzone Commander is 10mm, while Robotech Tactics is ostensibly 6mm, but I can't help but wonder…

Here's a review of the DC buildings with some other 6mm stuff, with the verdict being that the buildings, unsurprisingly, are too big. But would the look alright next to a bunch of Robotech mecha?

Just print the Dropzone stuff at 60-66%. That is what battletech players have been doing.

It only looks out of scale with infantry and small afv's. 40 to 50mm sized mecha will be fine. It's certainly my intention to use the G&G DZC boards and DZC buildings with Robotech.

I swear I just answered this on the Facebook page.

Instead of buying the buildings you can download them and follow Fabe Mrk 2's comment.

They actually used the buildings in the first Gencon demos

It depends on your perception of scale and the floor heights of buildings. Someone on the facebook page said they have the floor heights wrong for 10mm and because of it is it closer to 6mm scale. Really only the ground floors may look too big.

I used the Dropzone pdfs printed out at 70% for 6mm GHQ figures:

Thanks for the helpful advice, pics, and links. The GenCon pics make me think this is within my scale tolerance, plus I'm going to be spending enough time already assembling the mecha, so the pre-printed, pre-cut format of the card buildings is a big plus.
