Ral Partha 1986 “BattleTech War Robots.”
This Ral Partha advertisement from the October 1986 issue of Dragon Magazine shows off the then-available BattleTech game miniatures and makes an excellent companion to the BattleDroids miniatures ad that we saw a few days ago. The earlier ad listed only seven minis and used a photo where this one lists nineteen different miniatures as available for the game. That’s a big leap from a company that ” . . . was not enthusiastic about creating robot miniatures for FASA’s Battledroids game.â€
The image above is modified; click through to see the full and unmodified advertisement. For the above image, I took a section of an ad, rotated it, and replaced part of the missing frame around the list of available minis.
