I do look forward to this supplement most as I currently put finishing touches on my US Army for the "Road To Baghdad".Chris M. aka "Sgt.

Proxy figures are the way to go for Force on Force. I thought about playing the scenarios in the book but one scenario alone rapidly reached £100 just for the vehicles.Phil Curranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06828625218031670912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-88353572358551215242011-03-03T15:35:58.066+00:002011-03-03T15:35:58.066+00:00Near Future and even Far Future science fiction po...Near Future and even Far Future science fiction ports over easily from a Modern setting, as long as you've got a good framework of rules to plug the units into, with stats and features that cover close combat and ranged fire.<br /><br />Having a powerhouse like Osprey putting out rules is a good thing. The miniatures world has been needing the equivalent of GURPS or other universal system for a long time. I know folks have tried it (I did, with the Hellion System. Went nowhere), but few have pulled it off.<br /><br />With some tweaking, the right rules system can be most things to most people, and handle scenarios from cavalry charges, war-mages and iron golems, house-to-house Falluja battles (with armored support), and powered armor vs. superheros. Hopefully the Osprey rules are up to it.<br /><br />Best,<br />JBRJohn Bear Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16155726230456091639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-13216917931425007422011-03-03T12:41:08.074+00:002011-03-03T12:41:08.074+00:00I'm going to save my pennies for 'Tomorrow...I'm going to save my pennies for 'Tomorrow's War' but it's good to hear its an impressive, sumptuous publication because I hope that release gets similar treatment!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728450135657424715noreply@blogger.com
