Count me as going!!! I'll probably try to run the game I'm running at
Historicon: "Broadsword: the Raid" which is based on adventure #7
"Broadsword". I'll be using Stargrunt 2 rules.

Thanks so much for the info!!

Mark, send me your notes. I have the module and would like to see your
conversions

finishing up painting now.

I have a platoon of GZG NI as the mercenaries with 2 DLD Kammodo APC's
to represent the Traveller 10 ton ATV's and an air/raft for support.

The TLF rebels are represented by a company (8 10 man squads) of Peter Pig
AK47 troops (SADF with SLR's and GPMG's). Plus there's my
ever-present boatload of civilians.

There are also some Sword Worlds "advisors" represented by some Citadel
Mid-Tech troops and Old Crow Grav Glaive APC's (if necessary).

It's a farming town so I've got a bunch of Crescent Root Studios Normandy
buildings and TimeCast Vietnam Range buildings.

I have to work out some rules of engagement for the mercenary platoon. They'll
be penalized from a victory point standpoint if excessive force is used and
civilians are killed. I figure the mercenaries have to get a

full effect spotting roll before fire or there's a chance of collateral
damage. Any ideas?

Also, they have some support in the form of the missile rack on the 50 ton
Pinnace, but they'll be penalized if they have to use it.

I'll be glad to forward stats when I have them worked out.

i just tried to sign up for the relevant yahoogroup and got denied...bummer!
hopefully one of you will be providing updates if you hear 'em.

Thanks. Between GZG and Martian Metals (with some Ral Partha and Peter Pig) I
should be able to field these. I want to do the Thunder on Zyra
mini-campaign as a friend of mine wrote it of so many years ago (though
we never had a chance to play it out).

I have enough Zhodani from Martian Metals to field 2/3 of the Marine
Platoon, unless I use Striker with fireteam bases in which case I could do the
whole thing.

I'm left wondering what I could use for the Battle Dress equipped
psi-commandos though.

Thunder on Zyra might be my next project. As I recall the Zhodani in that
scenario are lower tech (Tech 9) and I could easily field that.

The GZG NI infantry has a good Zho look to it. I have 2 platoons of Zho in
Battledress all Martian Metal. And at least 1 Imperial Marine Battledress
platoon as well <grin>
