Does anyone play Robotech?
« on: 14 September 2015, 07:07:29 PM »
I see the box at the local shop, and I have a couple of sprues that a friend gave me; is the game itself good?

I like the scale (I'm a big  ;) 1:285 fan ) and the models look great.

I've had a battlepod sitting unassembled on my desk for about four months now.  Does that count?   ;)

I will, in the future.  I've got...way too much Robotech stuff and even more on the way.  I'm not in love with the rules yet, but I haven't played them out myself - just read them and watched some games.

So yes, in the next three years or so, at some point I'll begin the lengthy process of painting up figures and get properly stuck in.  The figures have made excellent Battletech mechs (my only use of them thus far).

Oh, and I started this as a primer for those who decide to get into it.

Go nuts, and please post into that if you do start gaming it.

I've seen that one. It seems to be more and more disparate each time  lol

I painted 4 Valkyries and read the rules.
I really like them after reading, but so far no one other than me got interested here in playing it!
:(
cheers and keep on gaming, Agis - https://www.adpublishing.de

I've been assembling, painting and putting together terrain.
I've got a lot of models from kickstarter, with more slated to come and I am pretty slow when it comes to painting things.  I will probably end up having to play with unpainted stuff as I get things moving.
The rules have some rough spots, but they seem like they will be fun and play out like the show.  People that do play with them are generally positive.

I've set up a blog where I post stuff that I'm working on.

I'm another gamer who's got a box full of Robotech game stuff, but I have not actually painted any of it up yet, or played any games.   :(
