I played scenario 1 in the FWC book last week. Check out my write up of the battle on my blog.

It was a good time, but my Elves did a bad job of protecting their planet.

Ouch... Not a good day for the effete degenerates! Recce is awkward - as the defender ambushes to slow a group are useful, then mass everyone else to stop one group at a time helps.

You won't stop all on the way out so pick your moment and duff what you can them hope to get back to stop the rest on the way back...

Unit markings in 6mm - either simple painted ones - Israeli style chevrons work well... Or try decals eg Fighting Pirahna...

@toxicpixie: The Israeli chevron idea is great. Just did a quick google search to understand what you meant. I'm pretty sure that is going to be my plan for these tanks.

Thanks!

Even though the sci-fi stuff is usually pretty big, you need to keep it simple (IMO) and not swamp 6mm mini's with markings as it just ends up looking a mess... the Isreali style ones are really good for that Grin
