So yeah it's pretty fun. The Preview Rules have everything you need for now: drive.google.com/file/d/1-EJp...

Load your units up with nothing but thermal, jolt, and rad weapons, meaning your enemy's prize MAC is always too hot to fire, too shaken to move, and too irradiated to avoid their inevitable meltdown.

Revel in the variety and affordability of 6mm miniatures and buy more little guys than you could ever reasonably field.

Forego any sort of conventional infantry or vehicles, fielding a fleet of Arksworn MACs that you kitbashed from those naval kits you were never going to finish anyway. Skip the fancy hardware, give them a bunch of big guns and a few radiators each to keep their heat down, and enjoy the fireworks.

Get proper nerdy at managing your Motion and Heat dice, imagining yourself as that maverick pilot who can push their machine to the edge, getting into a prime position to strike. Then end up as a sitting duck blocking your own allies' line of sight.

Build your MACs and even their weapons from scratch, thinking you've found a completely broken combination, before getting that crucial double-catalyst-module blown off in turn one, meaning your ApocalypseCannon is now as much danger to you as your targets.

Stomp on infantry and tanks with your MOBILE ARMOUR COLOSSUS units, then fire all your weapons until you overheat, explode, scramble your pilot into a building, then curse your enemy as they turn it to rubble with their orbital artillery.

I've not explored these too closely. Any recommendations?

Should be going on general sale later this month, so hopefully you won't be denied the book for too long!
