Cool, am trying to get the boys pshyced for one, but with my whole
grad-school gig going I the one with the bright ideas has very little
time to implement it.

Are going to use a central referee?

It was for one habitual planet in the system. I was the ref with 4 others
playing, went as a FT fleet action, then SG special operation securing landing
areas and taking out air and ground defenses, and finally followed by a large
scale DSII landing and several big battles. There was also further FT battles
with a relief fleet coming to reclaim the planetary air space, although that
did not succeed

That sounds really cool. I've dreamed about doing something like this since
back in the days of High Guard and Striker but never got it put together.
Would love to give it a try sometime. But...

I hear that. I'm in the same situation myself, right now.

Could a big multi-phase invasion game be put on at a convention? Over
several days? GZG-EC is the obvious place, but I would prefer something
on Britain, because I'm unlikely to get over to East Coast con anytime soon.

For the exploration section yes. Other then that it'll mostly be player run,

David,

That's ok our first attempt was with (a very stream lined) Star Fleet Battles
as the fleet component and with Striker as the ground component. We did a feet
battle from Deep Space Nine TV show where the station was boarded. I had the
big model (still have it) of DS9 the two fleets, and a huge SSD of the station
interior where in effect a bunch of small skirmishes were fought.

I'm updating this idea using the much better Full Thrust and Stargrunt rules.
I'm working on the SSD for a Berserker Warmachine, should
be nasty but fun.........)

That is ok the last game of this scale I was involved in was Star Fleet
Battles when I was in high school 20 some odd years ago....
