Okay, so i thought i would release this. I enjoy designing rules, and this was something i started working on quite a while ago and revisited recently when i thought about getting a dreadnought army for 8th 40k. It's not finished, it's not tested, but it may be of interest to someone somewhere somehow. Basically i always liked battletech-type mech games (although not a big fan of the level of accounting in battletech), and i like space marine dreadnoughts. Angry, angry washing machines. So with that in mind, i tried to design a game based around them. The idea somewhat like the old epic rules, where you had your primary cards (in this case dreadnoughts), and could take support units and (theoretically) special units for each primary unit. I had plans to have armies for each race with a dreadnought equivalent, but thought first i should concentrate on one army (marine dreadnoughts in this case). And again, inspiration from the old epic titan legions expansion imperator titan, where you had a combat sheet and could allocate power, do repairs, that sort of thing. Originally i just had plans for the basic plastic kit, but when i looked at it again i thought i should include all the variants, and dang if there aren't a few of them now. Was always meaning to publish this at some point, and now is as good a time as any. Enjoy (or not).
