I've been hoping to start up a local game of VBAM using the Babylon 5 source materials and I was wondering if anyone has done the work up for faction's GROPOS...
There is some ground unit data in the B5 conversions posted in our file section as I recall. If not, there have been enough B5 games going around someone has...
I've looked over the good work meisterchow did on the v2.19 Forces list but while it has the conversion of the ships, bases and OSAT it doesn't yet touch mines...
It doesn't do mines because I don't like the way mines work in VBAM. For ground units I was using the generic ground units from the lists in the campaign...
I should also note that there are a number of good ground pounding alternative rules out there. For example, Dirstside II from GZG was a free download last I...
Dirtside II is in fact still free. I will be doing an Ogre unit conversion in the coming weeks; I will be creating (I think) gruond elements per the CMC...

I've uploaded the latest campaign diary (3 megs, I'll have to fix that somehow). It has everything up to, but not including, the UEA push into the now-SI...
Hey did we play enough of that Aloft The Republic battle for you a few months ago? It kind of trailed off, my profusest apologies but I think my fleet was done...
... think my ... Yeah, I appreciate the input you guys all gave, and help with the battle. In the end, the Struvans all died and the Saliks lost their flag...
A great read as always. I really like what you have done with the Cargo Bays and the tender special is really cool idea. The 'pocket' ship rules is a nice...
Thanks! But the Cargo Bay rules and pocket ships rules are extensions of conversations on this forum, I'm a rules scavenger :) Tweaked, of course. Tyrel...
I know that you were just waiting for me to get done with my wedding so that I wouldn't be distracted from the start of this campaign (*wink*), but let me say...
I had assumed that the Ancients were left out for balancing and all the special rule conversions to capture them. And the shift from mines being floating...

Has anyone else thought about modeling STL (lower than light) interstellar combat in VBAM. Alastair Reynolds envisioned massive conflicts ranging across space...

... Although I haven't really contemplated STL warfare, I have thought a little bit about low FTL warfare and how that would play out in a game. Specifically,...
For those that may have been trying to get in touch with me, I returned from my annual vacation to the Bighorn Mountains of northern Wyoming this evening. It...
Another quick email from the abyss! Before I left, Gareth posted an interesting population growth option up on the VBAM Forums (which I need to cross-post my...
Relating to Gareth's topic on Q-Ships (on the forums), I thought I would post my idea for a way to simplify raiding chances to a degree. The first concept to...
