Okay, one quick off topic message as a number of people commented on our dog's
name and nickname.

Yes, he is named after HP Lovecraft's fictional town in the Cthulhu mythos. My
wife and I play Call of Cthulhu (and the Cthulhupunk and Delta Green variants)
quite often. The name just kind of fit for a schnauzer.

The nickname comes from a game of Mythos, a CCG. A friend of mine played a
"Hound of Tindalos" event card (nasty monster, are the Hounds), effectively
killing one of my Ally cards. While this
happened, Arkham reached up towards Peter's cards--which were at the
edge of the table--and stole one of his Ally cards. We hunted him down
(carefully, so he didn't think it was a game) and recovered the card,
untouched and completely dry. Ever since, he's been called the Terrier of
Tindalos.

Now for an on topic discussion bit. I have a lot of the RAFM Call of Cthulhu
miniatures. One of my many projects is to use them in a miniatures game. Does
anyone have any idea of how they could be used with Stargrunt?

I've got ideas for using them with skirmish games, but Stargrunt isn't really
a skirmish game. Does anyone have any skirmish conversions for Stargrunt? I
love the basic mechanics and I'd like to see how the FMA system would adapt to
a true skirmish scale.
