Dear GZG Fans:
Well I have another crazy adaptation for doing Heavy Gear using Dirtside II
and StarGrunt II. The action is centered on the planet of Terra Nova and these
two rules would make very interesting games with that background. There alot
of micro armour vehicles and troops that could be used for conversion.
I have seen alot background adaptations for Full Thrust and a very few for
DSII. I think we should
try to get a DSII/SGII page like Full Thrust.
Please feel free to get any comments on this conversion.

Well, for the record, I've been (halfway) working on several Heavy Gear
conversions into DS II; if I ever picked up SG II, I'd probably do them there,
too. (How close *are* the two systems?) In fact, having all the
gears that I go (what, 12+ and counting?) I'm finding it likely that I'd
buy SG II so I can use the things there... they certainly won't work in
DS II. ^_-
One problem is that some of the weapons systems (i.e., missiles) have
different levels of importance in the games... in HG, guided missiles are
fairly nasty weapons, while they seem to be considerably less so in DS II.
Anyway... I'll see if I can dig out some of my conversions (I know there's a
Kodiak around here somewhere...) and post them, if anyone's interested.
Later,
OK, David, where is this conversion???
