That was Rivets- the game was supposedly gash, but the illustrations
were cute.

As we're all doing our gaming CVs:
Age 35, single, biologist

I started with miniatures (mostly Airfix), at first just as toys then
using
Donald Featherstone and Charles Grant rules courtesy of Morningside
public
library;  I was a founder of the school wargames club in '74, a few
years
after which we discovered 
	1) D&D (which we abandoned later in favour of Chivalry &
Sorcery) 
	2) Board wargames
	3) Microgames- I'm still very fond of OGRE/GEV and Warpwar
(which
had some very nice "believeable" illustrations- also by Winchell Chung,
weren't they?

My first metals were Minifigs Middle-earth, and VERY primitive they were
too.
My space fleet is still based on ancient Garrison Starcruisers from the
late
'70s, with a bunch of odds and ends and Micromachines.

Oh, and by the way, has anyone else here tried Mecha Carnage?
