So I love this little kits, have quite a few of them now days. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good wargame or rpg for mecha combat. I want to try and use the 1/144th scale models of Gundams as models
Take a look at Battle-Tech.
You'll need to:
1) use the design rules & custom build the stats for your models.
2) figure out a conversion scale. BT is based on 1 hex (about an inch across) = 30 meters. All movement & weapons ranges are expressed in hexes. The normal scale of BT figures are about 1-1.5 inches tall & fit the hexes. Most Gundam models I've seen are bigger to much bigger, to ALOT bigger than that.
Upscaling is easy though - just increase a hex by an inch until you come to whatever size fits your models well.
After that you'll need to rewrite the ranges etc to inches based on your new hex size.
The practical effect of Upscaling the hex size is that it shrinks the battlefield. Unless your physical table/play area can also expand....
