Hey, it's nice to see you on this list again. I miss seeing your different scenario ideas and thoughts. you always brought something interesting to the table. ...
The first time I ran the game I totally screwed up the activation table. I didn't allow better troops to activate whenever. So I have one buddy who dislikes...

I just printed out the rules and hope to test 'em out soon. Figured I'd just post a 'hello' message - it's good to see some familiar names here, too :) I do...
Hello there Geo My experience with Slammer has shown in general that can be true. A platoon of green, poorly lead conscripts will generally disintergrate and...
Geo, Welcome to the Slammer group, and thanks for posting your Deathworld article. You have a lot of good ideas for a fun game there. Anyone, feel free to post...
