The beginnings of a science-fiction project using the classic RAFM Citadel figures and Ambush Alley/Force on Force rules. Working with The G Dog on this (well, he's done most of the work, but I have terrain and some figures to add into his large collection) as it seems something silly and fun enough to run at conventions to get the great unwashed masses into historical gaming by hooking them onto the rules.
Some things that The G Dog has already come up with:
Weapons
Assault Rifle - 1d small armsAdvanced Combat Rifle - 1d small arms
Gauss Rifle - 1d small arms
Snub Pistol - 1d small arms
Accelerator Rifle - 1d small arms
PGMP-12 - 3d medium support weapon
PGMP-13 - 3d medium support weapon
PGMP-14 - 3d medium support weapon
FGMP-14 - 4d heavy support weapon
FGMP-15 - 4d heavy support weapon
Light Assault Gun - 2d light support weapon
LMG - 2d light support weapon
Grenade Launcher - 2d light support weapon
Auto-GL - 3d medium support weapon
RAM GL - 3d medium support weapon
RAM Auto-GL - 4d heavy support weapon
Submachinegun (SMG) - 1d small arms
Shotgun - 1d small arms
Armor
Flak Jacket - one defense die
Combat Armor TL11 - two defense dice
Combat Armor TL12 - three defense dice
Combat Armor TL14 - four defense dice
Battledress - four defense dice
From The G Dog:
"Using the ratings I have, you'd get something like:
Squad, Duke of Regina's Own Huscales
1 Squad Leader (Combat Armor 14, Gauss Rifle)
1 Assistant Squad Leader (Combat Armor 14, Gauss Rifle)
2 Fire teams, each with:
Team Leader (Combat Armor 14, Gauss Rifle)
Trooper # 1 (Combat Armor 14, Gauss Rifle)
Trooper # 2 (Combat Armor 14, FGMP-15)
Trooper # 3 (Combat Armor 14, FGMP-15)
The squad would throw 13 dice in combat, defense dice for the squad would be 10 +4. For a single fire team, defense dice would be 4 +4 (plus cover)."
Vehicles
RAFM has just released their Imp APC, which comes with two weapons options (missile launcher or auto gun). Still need to rate up this vehicle for Force on Force/Tomorrow's War.
It has been awhile since I have added anything to this page, so here it goes. First, a lot of the work The G Dog has completed is on his blog. Second, my collection of figures continues to grow. I have ordered plenty of additional RAFM Citadel Striker figures, four of the Imp APCs, and now three of the grav tanks. I have forces together for high tech infantry, low tech infantry (think World War II), and a Marine landing party. And I bought a bunch of the Droyne as well. Not sure what I will use those for (other than targets), but they are "cool" and should paint up easily.
