My new favorite game, Battletech, is great.  A painting article is forthcoming.

I recently purchased the base starter set of the wargame Axis and Allies Miniatures and one booster pack. I purchased it for my son, but have only played it a few times. Honestly, it kind of bored me, but I’ve decided the problem is me, and instead of giving up, I purchased a case of Axis and Allies Miniatures for my son (birthday, please don’t tell him :)). I also purchased a Battletech start box, the Classic Battletech Introductory set. I’ll try and relay back when I’ve had a chance to play. I wanted these because I like sci-fi minis, but my son isn’t as thrilled with that genre, yet he likes mechs. Must be all those games of Mechassault on the old XBox he saw me and his older brother play. The Battletech miniatures are also unpainted (plastic), so we’ll get to have fun with that part of being a “real” wargamer too. He does enjoy painting.
