Gallery: Two Alpha Strike Games
Since the early 2010’s, CSW has played a variety of games with armies of re-based, pre-painted “Mechwarrior Dark Age” clix miniatures that we purchased in bulk after the demise of that game. The scale of these miniatures is alternately known as 10mm, N Scale or 1/160. That does make them significantly larger than the traditional ... Read more
TMX 2022- Thoughts and a Mech Attack Gallery
This June 4th and 5th, my son and I attended the Tabletop Minions Expo (TMX) in Oshkosh WI. It’s a very small affair put on by Adam Loper, host of the Tabletop Minions show.

AAR- Mech Attack- Trying a BIG game!
Tim and I met for a game of Mech Attack last month. We decided to attempt our biggest game of Mech Attack yet. Three 60 point sections on each side. As in the past for 10mm Mech Attack we used our collection of rebased Mechwarrior Clix. I was on the south side with the Grey ... Read more

New Release: Giga-Robo Original Soundtrack
I got the opportunity to mix a neat soundtrack to the Giga-Robo board game, created by my friends at Cardboard Dynamo. Giga-Robo is the card-driven miniatures game of giant robot combat, and a heartfelt love-letter to the Super Robot anime genre. It has some fantastic anime style robot minis! The album will eventually ... Read more

Karl and I are running a game of Mech Attack in 28mm at Adepticon for the third year in a row this March. This week, we tested out a scenario idea with our smaller Mechwarrior figures.

Robotech/Macross Mecha in 28mm – Work in Progress Part 1
Every year the club runs a few sessions of 28mm Mech attack or similar using a mix of scratched up kits, repurposed Robotech/Macross models, and Dougram Scope Dog type mecha. Having been a fan of Battletech/Robotech/Macross for the last 25 years, I would love to see, a fully Robotech style version of the game with SDF ... Read more
More Destroyed Mecha!
For a few years now, Tim and I have discussed building destroyed mech markers for our Mech Attack convention games. Tim got the ball rolling a couple months ago and now I’ve decided to follow suit. I didn’t know anything about casting, so Tim came over and showed me how. We followed the method he ... Read more
