Looks like a great game. :)

Close up of the roads, one of our players kept knocking them around.  Maybe have to think of something non slip for the back.

I put black self-adhesive velour on the bottom of terrain and models. It's cheap, has a slight stretch, and is has better grip on rough or textured surfaces without being adhesive or damaging. You could probably use some thin self-adhesive felt instead perhaps?

Ordered a pack of sticky felt off Amazon for a glass tabletop.



Come in various sizes. It's quite thin, so it wouldn't visibly raise the bases.

Thanks for the tips, I'll have to look into some of those.
On time, on target, or the next one's free

Haven't yet found exactly what I want for the roads, need to find someone carrying double sided tape and give it a go.

Either way, some finished battalions:

Jaegers for Steiner, including two fenrir units.



Finished Kurita Battalion, including a lance of Kage BA:



My son's Killer Bees (yeah I know, supposed to be light mechs, but he likes the big boys) plus some air power I just finished up for him:




I'll see if I can get an updated 21st Centauri and Hansen's RoughRiders up another time.

Go the King Crab!
Table looks great on the first page. These mechs look awesome too.
Must paint my BT stuff.

Any office supply or stationary store should have double-sided tape available.

The tables look great, 6mm sci-fi was one of my starting places in wargaming (back in the 90s!) and I'm always tempted to get back into it because there's so much cool stuff available these days, especially great buildings like the smaller ones along the foreground road in your early pix with the dropship!
