Subject: [GZG] DS2/DS3 TO&E?
I may have asked this before... Can someone suggest a TO&E for a reasonable (i.e. "average") sized DS2 game? Has anyone posted anything on the web? I'm planning to, finally, paint some of my 6mm sci-fi stuff. I figure that I can use them to playtest this SG3 game, when Jon writes enough of it. They would also work well for playtesting DS3.

Usually a DS2 game runs from a reinforced company to a short battalion. 2-3 platoons of mech infantry, 2-3 platoons of armor, 2-3 specialty platoons or sections depending on points available and percieved threat. Light infantry is generally useful in DSII only if you are fighting on the defense in bad terrain--for enough maneuver to be worth bothering with, you have to at least motorize it.

I may have given that impression with my SG3 comment, but my intention is simply to use the same stands in DS2 and DS3 for SG3 or regular SG2 using my board game rules.

I'll dig out my Mini-Campaign and post it somewhere. I lifted TO&E from StarGuard, Spacemarine (FGU), Traveller and real life. Michael Brown mwsaber6@msn.com [quoted original message omitted]

I used to have a number of games with this information in them, but I got rid of them in my big purge prior to moving to the U.S. I've been searching on Google this morning without a whole lot of luck. (Aside: How does anyone actually _find_ anything on StrategyPage.com, anyway?)
