Fistful of Lead – Galactic Heroes. Simple easy-to-play rules, very customizable, and you can use whatever minis you want. Highly recommended! |

Xenos Rampant. It's squad based. Just make the bases each be a miniature in the squad. |

We like Galactic Heroes, Hordes of the Things is fun too. We also adapted Space Hulk to the SW universe. |

is HotT based on DBM or DBA , because I'm not a fan of exact base movement and contact. |
Eumelus ![Supporting Member of TMP Supporting Member of TMP](boards/icons/sp.gif) | 10 Jul 2024 5:44 a.m. PST |
HotT is a sort of fantasy DBA, so if you don't like the latter you probably won't like the former. Perhaps the other rules suggestions would be more to your taste. |

I really would love to ID the models with movie appearances, EG I dont remember seeing a 3 legged walker in the movies. |

Someone already said Dirtside, didn't they? |
westernmini | 11 Jul 2024 1:42 a.m. PST |
yes! i'M THINKING OF ADQAPTING RAPID FIRE THOUGH |
TimePortal | 11 Jul 2024 4:29 p.m. PST |
We use Distant World Battles which use mechanics reflective of DBA. Interesting battles when a CAR army (Cyborgs/ Androids/ Robot) fight an Alien Hive or Parasite army. |
westernmini | 11 Jul 2024 5:10 p.m. PST |
If you think about DBA, where manovering is important, its because there are a lot of troops on one base. the units have 3 to a base , so were talking squads, I am leaning towards rapid fire but change max range to 8cm because if the smaller scale. and maybe 3 casualtier per base. all the weapons and armour work eg a walker can be 4 armour and 4 lazer. |
