Hi Noam,

Nice photos on the link.  Please can you tell me where you purchased the
starmap (Robodad photo). 

My son also has the lego robots and we do a simple D6 game, using some
micro machine buildings as terrain - it is a lot of fun! Nice to see
someone else found a good use for them.   Have you tried the X-pod rules
which come with the smaller sets in the clear plastic round pots
(download at the lego.com site)?

Regards
Robin

  I still need to figure what to do with the dome thing on the NI minis 
  (including the big radome bead on the Sabras), and how to distinguish 
  individual ships in the same class. One method I've seen done well is 
  pick an individual structural component and paint it different colors 
  on different ships. I'm torn between that, adjusting running light 
  colors, and trying to put different numbers/symbols on the hulls 
  themselves. I _don't_ want to make them effectively identical and
leave 
  the differentiation to marks on the base. My other NI minis have
hull's 
  painted but no detail work yet.
