A guy I've met was talking about running a Stalingrad scenario like this at a
con; urban fighting through big factory complexes.

I've played a Stalingrad scenario similar to this. The GM (Buck Surdu, using
his own Beer and Pretzels Skirmish) had constructed a number of rooms, but
they were not linked up until you got guys into them and "explored". Made for
some nasty suprises, especially for the Germans, who got their map wrong and
wandered right into a nasty Soviet crossfire...

These are the types of scenarios I would love to play but never get enough
players to get them to work. One of the ideas we had but never cam off sadly
was to hire out a small hall for a weekend and have a massive game of
spacehulk with multiple sets. Each level being represented by a set. My own
pet project is to run an entire full thrust campaign over a weekend. No tech
advances or economy just force based.

Certainly crossed my mind; each table with a defender for a particular system,
or even 'quadrant' of a system?

Though, my assault on DS9 was envisioned as a series of tables 'wide', with
transit rules between tables. Throw in over-all sky marshals and reserve
elements, and a nice large furball could start up. Even tried working
transits to represent psuedo-3d, but the topologies kept giving me
headaches.

I'm going to see if I can get the local group to try John Fu's FT2.5 Star Trek
ships in an assault on a starbase this week. Small steps, you know.

Let's see: 14 Galor ships vs. how big a stardock and how many crippled Fed
types?

The latest issue of GW's White Dwarf catalog/magazine described some
simple
multi-table scenarios for War Hammer. It could be easy to adapt these to
DSII, SGII, or, with some work, to FT.
