A friend in Ohio tried to get me into it. He bought me a Behemoth(my favorite), a Tarantula and a few others. I was getting pretty good at it but it was taking up a whole day to play one game and the wife made me quit. I even tried to bring in an old Superior miniatures MAATAC tank. Anybody remember those?

I think I still have the game, but I think the minitures I have are paper standups. I remember one game where I was just beginning. I hadn't realized the importance of Heat Sinks. I was playing a Rifleman. Had I walked into the pond just ahead of me, I wouuld not have blown up after fireing every single weapon I had at once :)

I never got the plastic models.

I have a few minis myself, and am in the process of repainting some (after 10 odd years of sitting on shelves!).

There are larger scale models of those lead minis, but some will cost you an arm and a leg.

The game seems like it is going through a "renaissance" period, with new minis coming out every few weeks.

I mainly concentrate on the Clan 'Mechs, and yes, I have all of them. Smile [:)]

As well, the large Armorcast resin kits of the Mad Cat and Vulture also reside in my collection. Big Smile [:D]
