Rail Gun Playtest AAR

I am currently playtesting my space ship wargame Rail Gun. I used miniatures with the game for the first time today, having used counters in the past  In the game, a battleship escorted by two destroyers engaged a pair of enemy heavy cruisers and three destroyers.  The fight was quite bloody---one heavy cruiser destroyed, the second badly damaged; the battleship was barely space-worthy.  I am still working on game balance but I counted this as a successful playtest.  Pics and a blow-by-blow account of the game below. 

Spaceships from my bits box

Here are some kit-bashed space ships I’ve made to use in games of Rail Gun.  They are made from stuff from my bits box, mostly 40k weapons but also pieces from other models.  I have another 8 waiting for paint and plan to build more.  They attach by magnet to my simple nail-and-base flight stands. Thanks for looking!
