Hi friends:
After hard months of working, we´ve improved the game Iron League: Black Stadium and the art has changed. Mechs and miniatures are amazing now. The board game has a new full cooperative campaign with map, scenary and enemies generation.
The competitive mode continues and has been improved.
So, we also want to change the title of the game, and this is:
IRON WARS
In July on Kickstarter. Soon more news.

The History:
Technology changed our past. Firstly gave us improvements, comfort, progress and evolution. But this technology used metals for military purposes. Metal and technology gave us armors and weapons. These armors and weapons got to be Mechs, and these piloted Mechs became very powerful.
In the year 2200 began the war, it was inevitable ... metal mixed with technology turned to fire, smoke and destruction.
Nowadays a few cities have survived, and are defended with great metal walls, mazes and gates to prepare a first defense before reaching the city center.
Men are only worth their armor inherited from parents to children. Sometimes armors are made with scrap and pieces of other Mechs, rarely are new designed and most often are stolen on the battlefield. Really there is no longer honor in the war.
Pirates, mercenaries and traitors attack the cities to conquer them, loot them or steal as much junk and technology as possible.
After so many years you have managed to form a small unit of mercenaries with a few Mechs, mechanics and droids. You vowed to defend those few cities that are still standing. Each time the attacks are harder and less resources are available, but Metal City, the place you was born, can´t fall.

You've been hired for a mission outside Metal City in the unsecured zone. You have to find and bring 2 parts of an engine, and a unit of pirate mercenaries prowl the area.
-Nora, starts Mech Steel engines, we have a mission!, cried Paul, "The Legend."
-Take your tools, we'll need you. Paul continued looking at the mechanical engineer.
- Paul, medium and short range weapons for the Mechs?, Nora consulted, although she knew the answer.
-Yes, today we have an eassy mission, enter and leave, how many times have we heard that, Nora?, Paul answered.
- Will you hire a freelance?, the mechanic asked.
Paul shook his head.
-Mechanic, help me to load more ammunition, we'll need it, Nora asked while she was walking to the hangar where the Mechs sleep.

I really like the look of this but I just can't get past the open operator of such an artillery-heavy mech. Being such a goliath will certainly draw fire and your weak spot, the pilot, is unprotected, front and center. If the technology is there to create walking mechs with pilot interface control of extremities, surely someone on the design team would have thought to put a front on the thing ;-)

I love this design, but now feedback is important. Some people like cockpit closed, I am thinking in put this one like Stretch goal or add-on for cockpits closed lovers
You can probably tell from my previous post where my vote lands :-D
Closed
That being said, it doesn't necessarily mean entirely closed. I think the pilot should be protected but, design-wise and stylistically, I think that can be achieved ways other than sealing them in an enclosed vault.

I show you an important piece in the game:
The mechanic:
It allows you to repair your mechs, extinguish fires, make ammunition ... They are very fast, but they are not warriors, so they will flee from combat.
Most mech weapons require ammunition and it's limited, so the mechanic can fabricate it with scrap (the Iron Wars coin). We'll also need to spend scrap for difficult repairs, like mech arms or weapons.
Iron Wars soon on Kickstarter

Here I show you the new Claws and the 3D render figure:
These warriors are psychopaths, unpredictable and they are passionate about hunting mechs. They are armed with claws which can melt the metal and rip it off. They are protected by an armor that allows them to run and jump behind their mechs targets. Enemies attack in horde, they rise to the Mechs plucking armor plates with their claws. They are lethal in melee. They usually go in groups, although sometimes they have been seen to go alone.
Hi Pilots:
Many people have wondered about the possibility of closing the cockpit of the Mechs and I can show you how the cockpit will be closed.
We can get it via Stretch Goal and it will be totally customizable in every Mech.
We hope to launch the Kickstarter campaign in late july or early August
Soon Iron Wars

This looks cool. I agree, If you want to give options on cockpit (and it doesent make it more expensive to the buyers) then both is fine, but my opinion is any kind of mech will want a closed cockpit and it looks waaaay better and is more realistic. Open=quick dead pilot.
I leave a link of the presentation with Mi cabeza Friki of Iron Wars and you can see the Mechs painted. I'm sorry, this is in Spanish.
it starts minute 06:16
Dear friends:

Do you think My Mechanic and The Rocket Reds look like?
I think they are not near.
