'In its three hundred year history the Space Gallantry Cross has only been awarded on very few occasions. On planet Adelphi 12 in the Theta Sector a contingent of Federation Battletroopers and one combat droid held back a frenzied attack from the massed forces of Draculux Longfang's mutant horde. For sheer bravery of the Officers and men the unprecidented number of 12 SPCs were awarded'. I've been running a few games based (loosely) on Zulu, Ghosts of Mars and the Reavers from Serenity. I have a mining site which has a small garrison of troopers (black painted Guardsmen) and one combat droid (a heavy weapons Space Marine) holding off a much larger amount of mutants (House Cawdor and some rather nice Chaos Cultists I got from SELWG). So far the Federation have managed to hold out against the onslaught but its all down to the luck of the dice! |

Sounds fun. Love to see some pictures if you've got any. I do like mutants my own mutant horde was cribbed from all over the place there are some great mutant miniatures out there. |

Sounds good to me, too. What rules are you using? any pics? |

No pics coz I don't have the right kind of camera and am a technophobe. The rules are ones that I cobbled together from conventions I've been to, essentially its down to a higher intiative roll than your opponent, and if the roll is much higher the dead on that side were 'out shot' and don't get to move or fire. I roll to hit and then to kill. A D10 for Grunts, a D12 for Space Marines and a D20 for Terminators. |

Groovy. Using your own rules is where it's at! |

Thanks billthecat, I got sick of having to fork out cash for new rulesets every few years, and my system works for me. And if I don't have a solution to a problem in my rules, I'll have a look at Rogue Trader. |
