"Twilight 2000, would you game it in miniature?" Topic

Seeing as how we just had the poll about Twilight 2000, and we are a Miniatures Page, it seemed to be a question to ask..

- Yes
- No
- No Interest

Yes – done soalready

why not? it would work with Force on Force or any of a number of existing systems.

Isn't this game supposed to be played in miniature? After all, there were packs of 15mm (?) vehicles etc.

I did it in pen and paper. Faster.

I don't like glittery vampires.

The Twilight 2000 miniatures were 20mm, and were, like some other specialized almost-historical lines, designed to augment existing merely-historical lines.

T2k is one of those games that sometimes calls for miniatures, and sometimes does not. Would I play out some fights with minis? Sure. Every time? No. The setting was meant to take away that all-knowing high command feel, so a grand tactical board goes against the grain to some extent.

Sure.

Did.

No more than I use minis for any RPG I play. If I ever play a game where any two minis are the same scale/system/manufacturer I think the world will implode.

No interest.

I don't like glittery vampires.

You didn't play Twilight Nightmares?

Did it back in the day…

Sure! I've already got minis to do it.

Pen, paper and miniatures. loved the vehicle combat.

Wasn't one of the Segregation Era supplement for Beamstrike intended for that?

yes, did it many years ago, in 20mm

yes

In a Betty Crocker minute! lol

We played out the battles using 1/72 plastics.

Perfect setting for a linked-skirmish campaign system in the 'Two Hour Wargames' vein, with elements of character development and squad management between battles.

never read nor played it, seen it mentioned a lot. sounsd like, to me anyway, a bit naff for roleplay but the ideas would be good for wargaming – but until Iread more on it I can't say – but, if it is some kind of www3 thingy, yeh I'd play it miniature using 1:72nd or 15mm.

Should be pretty easy to do TW2000 scenarios with Force on Force.

I kinda like the idea of using rag tag units and whathave you.

Wasn't the "First Battle/Last Battle" system released by GDW to allow people to play out tactical engagements in their Twilight 2000, Merc: 2000 campaigns with a sleeker system than the actual roleplaying combat rules, yet meaningfully compatible with them?

To simulate larger battles where the playing characters got involved.

> Wasn't the "First Battle/Last Battle"

Last Battle was, First Battle was the wargame line (Team Yankee to Blood and Thunder). The main problem with Last Battle was the rules were a mess, decent game in there after digging through the poorly worded rules with holes you could drive an 18 wheeler through.

I would now, back when I was playing it regularly we didn't. But I plead being in the Navy then…

Well, I sure wouldn't play it in full scale…
-Kle.

Did it many times.

Already Have, will not do it again.

Sounds interesting.

Already played it with 1:87 scale minis, back when the game was first popular. Fun game.

I would game the setting (and have some 6mm stuff for that end), but not use the rules.

Yes, though I prefer my own WW3 background.

Yes Back in the day with 20mm now that I have tons of AK-47 15's Heck YES

Unlikely

I'd do it, for sure! Edward Cullen's dreamy!

I would but I won't collect for it.

If I were to re-visit it, I'd use either Ambush Alley (Force on Force/TW/etc) or FUBAR for when I wanted to stage big tabletop skirmishes, or for the quick character interactions and stand-up fights I'd just use the RPG system – or possibly an adapted version of the Heresy RPG Game Engine thing, which is quite handy.

Have done it. Great excuse to paint and convert unique figures. Back in the day, I had a gang of ESCI zulus converted with Ak-47s and M16s from Esci Spetnez and Esci US Vietnam troops. The US Vietnam troops worked well with just minor paint conversions.
