Sci-fi
combat game systems that I play or
have played. These games are largely done in a skirmish setting with the platoon being the largest unit fielded on the table (normally).
I started out years ago with 25mm miniatures but have recently converted to 15mm figures as these (to my eyes anyway) make the weapons and movement ranges look more accurate.
It is my hope to come up with a system where I can do up to company sized battles without too much paperwork involved in running a game.More on this
later.
is Stargrunt II by Ground Zero Games.
A very fast and elegant system that is
adaptable to a wide variety of scenarios
and genres.
This game represents units at the squad
level. Although there are a few of us that
push this envelop a bit...)
