Stargrunt and Starseige: Rebellion

Hi, I'm back (sort of, for the moment) and I'm wondering how close
Starseige:Rebellion and Stargrunt are? If they are close has anyone made a
'patch' for Stargrunt that turns it into Starseige: Rebellion?

Actually Starseige: Rebellion is a armor/mech game and is much closer to
Dirtside than to Stargrunt (and I think it varies dice in an FMA-like
system
too).  I almost picked up the Rules-Only pack at GenCon (you don't have
to buy the whole boxed set if you don't want to) but I had to get more minis
instead.

Its closser to dirtside than stargrunt, but appears to work better with slight
smaller units than I've tended to see used for dirtside.

Now, although I have the rules (and run a mailing list for the game:), I have
yet to play it. So I might be off here.

Okay, maybe some one else got the rules and would be willing to do a 'patch'
so the rest of us don't have to get the rules and can get more minies.

I played the demo they had at GenCon in which the objective was to kill
Pokemon. I was a little put off by the game when a was required to roll 48
pair of dice to determine the outcome of a fire action.(4 mech squad x 4 hvy
autocannons x rate of fire 3) But that volley did slaughter Pokemon and that
got me a copy of the rules (not that I have read them).

Well, it would seem that there needs to be a little bit of work done to the
rules so that they're more playable, maybe taking the ROF idea for Heavy

Gear. How is damage applied?
