Bad Future

Good Music

Killer Mechs

A music-themed mech skirmish wargame for two players.

The Basic Beat

Scratched Paintwork is two-player skirmish wargame set in a future where a good taste in music is an act of sedition, and a record collection a crime.

Each player controls a crew made up of four unique mechs, piloted by four unique jockeys, and battles over a series of gigs. Each of the game’s factions are based around a love of a musical genre.

We’re working towards a future release, but for the moment we’re putting all the test rules up here. The aim is a game that’s deep, tactical and fun. And critically, we want it playable out of the box…
