If anyone in the Massachusetts area is interested, I'll be playing Mechaton tomorrow afternoon over at Pandemonium Books in Cambridge. Feel free to stop by and say "hi". I believe we'll be starting at 4:00 or so.
We managed to get the game in before the snow started to fall. It was myself and one other person fielding four mechs each. I ended up being the attacker. The game lasted 1.5 to 2 hours, I'm not really sure. We both had a lot of fun. I'll try and post some pictures soon.
Yay!

Okay, finally got motivated and uploaded pictures.

This is the set-up. We both had teams of four mechs with differing amounts of attachments. The teams were premade and the info pregenerated to cut down on set up time.

Here's a table's eye view of the action.

Here's three different views of the finale. Notice the Doomsday clock in one of the pictures. :-)
The only real thing we changed was doing damage on a 4, 5, or 6. It moved the game along pretty quick. My opponent clicked the clock down twice at every turn, hustling the game along and forcing me to be very aggressive. I was the first to lose a mech, the white one, but I claimed restitution quickly afterward. :-) The game moved along briskly, damage being dealt to both sides. On the last turn I finished off most of his forces, killing his last mech on my last action. I'm not sure we played exactly by the rules but I had a lot of fun, as did my opponent. I'm really looking forward to the next chance I get to play.
