GZG-ECC IV Event

Well, it looks like I'm not the first guy to offer and event
description for a game he's intending to run at GZG-ECC IV.  In addition
to my Pod Racing scenario, I'm thinking of running the following game. I'd
like to know who is interested in participating and in which slot you'd like
to see it run? Thanks.

Stargrunt II Carnage con Queso (aka The Cheese Game) This is a "bring your own
squad" (BYOS) event. A number of nations have sent their peacekeeping forces
to the war torn planet of Fromage III. The planet's ruling family, the
Limburgers, doesn't like to have their sovereignty violated, and calls home
their entire navy to blockade the planet and starve the peacekeepers into
compliance. One brave soul, Captain Monterey "Jack" Colby, attempts to run the
blockade and manages to drop several containers of cheese product to the
starving peacekeepers. But now, the peacekeepers must fight each other while
they locate and secure the newly dropped supplies. Each container of cheese
has a certain point value associated with it. Whoever controls the containers
with highest total number of points will be declared the Queso King and
immediately crowned as such. Others top finishers will earn noble titles, such
as: Duke of Jarlsberg, Prince of Parmesan, or Count of Cottage. The rest of
the players will be inducted into the Military Order of the Coeur de Chevre.
Squads may be made up of any combination of troops or vehicles, as long as in
total they do not exceed 10 capacity points. Each regular trooper counts as 1
capacity point. PA counts as 2 capacity points. A support weapon counts as 1
capacity point. A Size 1 vehicle counts as 5 capacity points. There is no
additional cost for the crew of a vehicle. Vehicles are assumed to have a
commander and a driver, plus one gunner for each weapon, over and above the
"free" APSW. To equalize the relative power of the individual squads, the GM
will pass out a number of cards to some players that may be played at various
times
during the game that will have various in-game effects.  Players must
provide their own miniatures and squad data cards.

So now its a tradition.

First you run the BYOF FT game last year that I bring my Cheese Fleet to

and now this!

I may have to break down and buy some SG figures now. Let's see... I will take
4 grunts, 3 Sergants, 2 Captians, and a General. 10 soldiers = 10 points. But
I can give each grunt 8 actions per turn! You may want to figure costs for
Superiors (Leaders? I don't have my SG book handy to get the correct term)
that can reactivate units additional cost based on level. Now I get to play SG
about once per year, so I may have missed something, but it may need some
additional balancing.

Hi, Brian. This is a BYOS which means both Bring You Own Squad and Bring Your
ONE Squad. Each squad will have one leader. Leadership ratings will be
determined by the GM and will be an effort to balance the squads.
