... Hi Jake. I would like to have a look at your rules, if you're after playtesters. I have some GZG 15mm ESU, UN and Phalon figures, plus a couple of packs of...
I would love to playtest. I have a good number of 15-mm sci-fi figs and two active groups I play with. Let me know when you post it. I would love to give...

Ok. I've loaded the draft rules into the files section of the Yahoo Group site. They are called Gforce. Happy to email them to anyone. Jake....
Looking at Gforce, and many other sets of rules of course, I still suggest discarding of Napoleonic notion of troops experience rating as Militia, Regulars,...
Interesting points and I agree that there are limits to pigeon-holing troops or units into a limited number of labels, but it seems to me you have merely...
Matt, The ultimate test of training is combat, and there is no better training than combat. I have said it here before, but for your benefit will repeat, ...
I enjoyed your post Greg, especially the quip on loose trousers. I'm not won over by your logic that combat is better than training, without training your...

Matt, All troops are trained for combat as you say. Even the company clerk. Anyone who has ever fired a weapon knows that it is with the intention (outside...

In G-force I tried to do it by having two different measures: troop quality (four different levels) and troop toughness (or determination or resolve or...
Matt, Its what one does after going prone that counts. Artillery rounds are unlikely to hit in the same place unless the firing is a long barrage, and at least...
And lets not forget this is intended to service troops other than of the human (humanoid) species! That alone requires some consideration of troop ratings....
I think we will have to agree to disagree on this. For the record, yes I played Striker I & thoroughly enjoyed it. If you are not discussing your concepts in a...
I've stayed out of this. I agree with Matt. Training has been the edge since Rome. Veterans pass their experiences to recruits by TRAINING them. How this is...
Mat, I do have a hang up. I tend to get quite serious. You think anything you said about the Eastern Front is a fact? It may surprise you that fully half of...
