Subject: [SG] Starship troopers
G'day, Played a game of the Starship troopers game on the weekend. It was good and very like SG (whether by conincdence or direct inspiration I don't know). Its so like it that after a few more games to judge if it would mess anything up I'm tempted to bring in SG morale (or tougher version as the "no morale" state of this game is a little grating for me) and alternating activation rather than one side at a time (though the reactions kinda fix that anyways). Great game though and even if you don't SGise the game itself the figs are directly compatible and boxed set providing 8 infantry and 20 bugs (admitted all plastic) at least made the cost palatable;) Kids are already planning the tanker, plasma, brain, hopper bug and various infantry walker purchases;) Best of all I've seen some cool tunnel cross section ideas on the net that are cheap, easy and also SG/FMA friendly ;) Very cool.
