Stargrunt

Is there a good source for 15mm figs in the US? My playing area has been
severely curtailed recently and I'd like to keep playing Stargrunt II.

A couple of questions regarding SGII....

1. IAVR's - whats the firepower dice (on the table in the book & on the
quick ref card it states D10, but in the section on IAVR's on pg 40 it states
D8)

2. How do you treat riding beasts, like horses with the rules?

3. Has anyone done conversions with SGII for use in other time periods? eg.
WW1, WW2 etc

What with all these undelivered mail remarks I don't know if this got through,
so I'm sending it again. Apologies if it has been sent once.

Yes your first copy arrived just fine. You can set whether you do or
do not receive your own messages from the list. Check the e-mail you
got when you subscribed for details.

I'd never noticed that before! I think D10 is correct.

There were some house rules for mounts posted here a while back. Check the
archives.

> 3. Has anyone done conversions with SGII for use in other time

I know that a bunch of people set up a lits for discusing a fantsay version,
and other periods have been mentioned here from time to time, but I can't
remember seeing any solid ideas.

Cheers,

Thanks for the answers, whats the archive location?

Could somebody give me a review of Stargrunt? I would especially like to know
a brief summary of how the game mechanics work.

Thanks,

John

Somewhere in the world there is defeat for everyone. Some are destroyed by
defeat, and some made small and mean by victory. Greatness lives in one who
triumphs equally over defeat and victory.

Stargrunt is a skirmish type game played with 15 to 30 mm figures. Each

figure represents one man.

Key concepts: In contested rolls against your opponent, you wish to roll
higher than him. An advantage is expressed by rolling a larger polyhedral die.
Eg. To shoot, your squad might roll a D8 for their quality of training and a
D10 to represent their large numbers and quality weapons.

The range to the target might result in your opponent rolling a D4, but at the
same range hard cover makes it a D8.

Leadership is very important. There are five morale levels and many conditions
can cause a reduction in morale. Morale tests are generally unit quality
rolled against your leader's leadership number with modifiers for
the situation (eg. +3 for coming under orbital bombardment).  Games tend
to be decided by troops suffering loss of morale rather than overwhelming
casualties.

There are some good side bits. Troop motivation levels influence the
leadership mods, so highly motivated troops will accept threats that daunt low
motivated troops. Chain of command can be used to spur subordinates

into taking extra actions.

I recommend the game.

Heelo, I`ve been searching the net for Orders Of Battle for any of the sides
in Stargrunt II. Apart from the ones in the back of the rulebook, does anyone
know of anymore? I`ve found the ones on the Eureka Miniatures site, but I`m
mainly after FSE lists. Anyone help??

Hi Nick,

Here is a link to a page on Jeremy Sadler's Web Page that will lead you to a
few:

A friend of mine; John Chatterton, has spent a lot of time working on FSE
Regular Army orbats but hasn't put them in a 'web friendly' format yet.

RE: StargruntThanks for the pointers, if there`s any chance of getting a copy
of the FSE orbat I`d appreciate it. It doesn`t matter what the format is, I
can read most of them
