I agree with Jon. Mecha Carnage is a great game! With it's
simple
rules, easy construction rules, and generic background, I consider it to
be the FT of the Mecha Gaming genre. One thing I would like to do is
come up with some vector movement rules for space mecha combat. (They
currently use the flight rules for mecha.)
There is only one tiny problem.... I've just discoverd that I
lost my
only copy at my local game store a couple of days ago!!!!! Looks like
I'm going to have to stop by the bank again to purchase some British
currency... again.
