Which ruleset(s) do you prefer? |
 miniMo  | 08 Jun 2009 8:40 a.m. PST |
Future War Commander. Large unit action, fast resolution, any minis easily work with the system. |
| Grizwald | 08 Jun 2009 8:41 a.m. PST |
Stargrunt II. (Haven't you asked this question before?) |

Forge of War or Ambush Alley |
| DontFearDareaper | 08 Jun 2009 9:14 a.m. PST |
5150 for skirmish action and Future War Commander for larger battles. Dave |
| Wombling Free | 08 Jun 2009 9:36 a.m. PST |
Laserburn or 5150 for small skirmish, Imperial Commander for large skirmish. |

(Haven't you asked this question before?) The older you get, the newer the questions seem.  |

Best? I guess it all depends on what you are looking for, really. CC |

I use 5150 for skirmish games, though I occasionally drag out Warzone 1st edition and Rogue Trader as well. For larger stuff, I use FAD4 of course. Why go through all the trouble of writing a game, if I wasn't gonna play it :) Im a big fan of Stargrunt but I rarely play it any more. |
| M1Fanboy | 08 Jun 2009 9:53 a.m. PST |
Like Stargrunt, but like most here, I don't play it anymore as I have really gotten to like Ambush Alley..though I also like 5150 for the Man to Man level. |
| Martian Root Canal | 08 Jun 2009 10:28 a.m. PST |
I play both Future War Commander and Stargrunt II. I use the former for mass actions and the latter for smaller unit stuff. |
| smokingwreckage | 08 Jun 2009 10:30 a.m. PST |
I'd use Defiance, but only if you want skirmish scale: a platoon or two, some vehicles. Basically 28mm but with more realistic ranges and cheaper models! |

Ambush Alley's Force on Force for me. Jeff |
| Paul72 | 08 Jun 2009 10:54 a.m. PST |
I play a lot of Alien Squad Leader. It fits in nicely between skirmish and something a lot bigger like FWC. |

Nothing, actually, as I don't do 15mm, but I'd use the same old:
mj12games.com/defiance The author actually slightly recommends 15-20mm scale over 25-30mm… Requires single basing tho, out of the box. |

Star Grunt II, but I am going to check out Ambush Alley. |
| John Treadaway | 12 Jun 2009 4:45 p.m. PST |
I'd say Hammer's Anvils, but I'm biased… John T |
| Platybeladon | 13 Jun 2009 10:13 a.m. PST |
I'd say Alien Squad Leader, but then again I'm biased too….. |

Star Wars Miniatures Battles…the 1991 rules |
| Weasel | 18 Jun 2009 11:04 p.m. PST |
Darclegion. What was that game like? |
| alien BLOODY HELL surfer | 19 Jun 2009 2:41 a.m. PST |
Weasel – I've got the old SW minis battles, I've not played it yet, but read through and it seems overly complicated for larger games. The troops have numerous stats pretty much on par with the rpg, which, for me personally, is too much in a game with anything more than say 10 figures a side. I'm going with FWC (main game or perhaps the skirmish game) for my WEG Star Wars figures. I'm going to base them up individually, but make movement trays I can place them on to play the main game more easily. |

Ambush Alley. Moving on to Force on Force for platoon+ actions and Future War Commander for battalion+. |

Seems lots of people use Ambush Alley/FoF -- what assets are available to convert these rules to SF so as to get anti--grav drives, advanced weaponry, larger than human creatures, mindless killing machines, and all that goodness? |

". . . what assets are available to convert these rules to SF so as to get anti--grav drives, advanced weaponry, larger than human creatures, mindless killing machines, and all that goodness?" The Ambush Alley Games Forum is ready to stand and deliver! We have a section of the forum devoted to Science Fiction mods for the game and people have posted up their house rules for pretty much everything you mention, Khurasan! Several TMPers have contributed ideas. Drop by and take a look! We're at ambushalleygames.com/forum |

Another vote for Stargrunt II. |
