More Stompy-Bot Goodness

Been sorting out the basement playroom, and I came across a box I've had ages but don't play.  So I did.

GKR, Heavy Hitters, this was a kickstarter from Weta Workshop that just went crazy

Set-up for two forces, green vs yellow

Yellow's main mech

Green's main mech

The game is based in a corporate-world mech violence mixed with advertising/tv.  So the goal is to 'tag' buildings with Ads to gain sponsorship (extra perk cards), when the building is tagged enough it collapses.  The winner either collapses four buildings or takes out the opponents main mech.  Each force can be up to one main Mech plus three remotes, a shooter, a recon and a repair type.  these do not start on the board, they are deployed via the game mechanics

The game runs off cards, its a bit of a faff to set up

Once done, though, the game does seem to tick along well enough

Early game, green has been fanked by Yellow's Recon remote

Lter, buildings getting tagged

Yellow backs off to repair

Yellow on idle, yellow remotes doing allthe work so far, tagging still happening

Green pushes up on Yellow

Buildings start to collapse

Green is beating up yellow, Green has 'step-out' style missiles, yellow doesn't seems to be able to counter

Yellow starts getting th eupper hand by using Sponsor perks (from all the tagging)

Yellow collapses more buildings, ratings are swinging Yellow's way

Its turning into a colse range slug-fest

Yellow tries to jump Green

Green backs off seekign cover (Green has red-lights all over the system board)

Yellow just cannot finish Green off!

Yellow remostes jostle for position

Green and Yellow remotes trade Tags

Is this the End?

KaZAAAAAP!

 Yes, yes it is... 

 This match is over, time to roll the post-game show after these words from our sponsors...

The game comes with some really cool pre-painted mechs, Blue 

Orange (same as on the box art)

Green

And yellow

Each faction has the main mech plus the three types of suppot mechs

What was great boutt he kickstarter was that with all th addd-ons they really were add ons, they did not replace the box components

There was so much stuff the box was huge

And deep

Then with all the othe stuff they actually had to have two of them.  

If only my kids likes mechas as much as me...
