Hi All Attn: Bill Pierce Got a request to post the sheets I made up to the files section; haven't a clue. I know I sent them to you can you do it? Dave Some...
Observations from my first two games of 5th ed. I love the percentile-based system it makes for realistic modifiers. The game works well as a small-scale...
We're still using 3rd edition, and instead of orders, we use chits with the standard orders on them. "Move," "Fire" "Cover Fire" etc. That speeds things up as...

HI Guys: The order writing system outlined on pages 41-52 of STARGUARD 5th ed., is an optional rule system for games where each player commands no more than 5...
... *** Hi john It's an evidence : it's time to release a 6th edition.. ... Most gamers need a more accurate turn sequence. Perhaps you can upload a file with...
Recent advances in the print on demand technology have started me to thinking about a 6th edition of STARGUARD. What say you? What would you like to see in...
... I think that you must reorder the chapter, with rule system and settings not mixed. A true turn sequence for mass gaming (not the rpg one) will be...
The form the book takes depends somewhat on how it will be marketed and sold. One strategy would be to make the rules cheap or free! In this case, they would...
John, I'd be up for some of the ships done in 1/72 scale. I also like the 1/300 scale rules idea as it would allow me to use my acculimated micro armor and...
I have several suggestions since you are asking about the future of this wonderful game. First, I agree with keeping the rules out of the background...
I think a 6th edition would be great. I think one of the main issues with Starguard is clarity we need better examples and descriptions of the rules. We also...

... Yes, and unit cards could be included. What is kool about this format is that you do not have to wait until great detail about each race is developed. You...
While I agree that the three ring binder approach is the best from the stand point of adding new rules modules and as well as race information, how well will...
Hi John My $.02 worth. I would love to see a micro line of SG for bigger battles. I think this would add a lot. As mentioned before cheat sheets, I have done...
I agree about the GW-style marketing thing. To be honest, it seems to work, and is well supported by the parent company, but it gets expensive and leads to...
The GW rulebook marketing is very unfriendly to gamers and should not be used. Now that being said there is nothing wrong with a well-illustrated rulebook....
