Beautiful looking game.  Great to see so many Quar backed up by so many tanks and contraptions.

Oh dear, so many Quar! What will my muzzleloader lizard and parrot men do? Oh, yes. Great powers intervention.  ;)

Fellow LAF member, Rabbitz painted many of the Quar that are Green.  They hid very well in the terrain.  Several times I lost track of a few figures or an entire squad.

First, let me thank you for the ruleset clarification. It felt like I might have a clue, but I was only rules adjacent.

Second, as for forces 'lost in the terrain,' I HATE when that happens. A squad or two taking a breather is one thing, but an entire battle squadron in an astroid cluster? *seeth* >:(

Really, looks like the lovely kind of time where even losing horribly is a blessing. To friends not present...

Attached is our version of the rules.  The men who would be Warlord.  Based upon the men who would be warlord.  A work in progress, it still needs some editing.  Not ready  for prime time.  Maybe Osprey wants to use it?????

The tan uniformed Japanese infantry (not mine) were from the Boxer Rebellion line that Old Glory makes.  The walker is an old Champions figure that I armed with a gatling gun and a katana from a Reaper weapons set.  Then as a finishing touch I put a sashimono on its back.

Hey Mikos Khan

Is the Japanese walker supposed to be an automaton, (Babbage engine) or an exoskeleton of a human?

I would say an automaton.  It's arms and legs are too skinny to be an exoskeleton!  Also it's kind of small so we should probably give it fewer hit points than an armored car.  Just a thought.

Look to "A Bridge Too Quar" for the next battle in this series.
