40k Rampant

 

I am a massive fan of the Osprey Games line. They have given us popular gems such as the Frostgrave franchise, and its less known but possibly superior sci fi version Stargrave. Another big win for them have been the rampant series of games. I first looked at Lion Rampant circa 2015 when I was totally over the hot mess of 40k 6th/7th edition and looking for new ways to push my little toy men around tabletop battlefields. I wasn't quite ready yet for rules lite, elegant rulesets like the rampant system but I still liked what I saw and filed it away in my mental archives.

Battletech has long been an interest of mine that for one reason or another I never explored deeply. For starters it just is not as widely played as many other table top games and until recent times the miniatures have been shall we say "lacking".

That has changed in recent years as Catalyst Game labs has been putting out pretty sharp looking minis that seem inspired by the styles of Mechwarrior Online, Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries, and the simply incredible BATTLETECH turn based strategy game by Hairbrained Schemes.
