[OT]Rogue Trooper Re: [DS] Genetically Enhanced Infantry

***
For those in the UK, Rogue Trooper from 2000AD (...)

While I've seen 2000AD, though mostly of the Judge Dredd dominated issues,
many in the US will recognize Rogue Trooper from the Evil Empire(tm) boardgame
of the same title.

While long out of print, as are all the more interesting GW items, I think
it's a game well worth a look.

Now, please note that my bringing up particular items, such as theTSR Buck
Rogers connection, was to make a point. This could get way out of hand if you
bring up things like, say, Kurt Russell's Soldiers, which would probably go
off on a painful side discussion of it's points AS a movie, or even something
as way off topic as another company's comic book, or game.;

Douglas,

Point taken however, I find that my eclectic mind works in this way.I
take my Sci-Fi rather tongue in cheek, in fact the terms OT and Sci-Fi
are hardly
mutually exclusive! It could be argued that Sci-fi is OT from Sci-Fact
but be that as it may or not, the point is to have fun with the probabilities.
As for where you get your gaming influences is does it really matter? I say
this as some one who owns most of that old crap, and is in the throws of
compiling them into something more Stargruntish!(TSR Buck Rogers, Gamma World,
Star Frontiers, and FASA stuff by the bucket) I hope to codify these into a
generic bestiary for use with a random encounter matrix of some sort. I don't
plan this to be anything like a standard item in our games here but, it could
be useful in the one off search and rescue mission or some such. Also as I now
(at long last) have my web site up I have to fill it up with some thing
different........)
