Battle machines is a [[Tabletop Games|tabletop game]] that uses a 35mm grid and a army of mecha called a battlegroup. It was created with a simple goal be as easy to play and customizable as possible.It revolves around the aforementioned giant mecha fighting to control territory, although they aren't that interested about whats there [[Monumental Damage|at the moment ]].
 
The game takes place during the 34th century, Humanity had made a breakthrough in space travel. By altering the gravitational effect of their ships they are able to create permanent portals through space-time, or something. Anyway, Humanity got out there and discovered nothing but lots of planets with no life, but lots of mining potential. Colonies where set up, and after about 150 years there was a war between the colonies and Earth, only stopping after 50 years with the invention of mecha. Unable to afford the new mecha the poorer colonies surrendered to the richer, who then surrendered to Earth.
Line 9 ⟶ 8:
That was 400 years ago. Planets have changed sides hundreds of times, and the colony ships still fly out to try to find new planets just to reduce the fighting. Human rights don't really mean anything anymore and if you're anywhere other than on Earth you're probably going to get stepped on by the mecha you're mining metal/making parts for. [[It Got Worse|Everything got worse]] and it won't get any better.
