With all of the great 15mm sci-fi minis out there I think it's time for me to take the plunge too. I'd like a ruleset that allows for larger battles, company or batallion size. I'd also prefer squad basing like in fow. Thanks in advance for your thoughts. |

Quadrant 7 fits the bill; handles a company plus attachments for each side. -Will |
| Justin In Oz | 02 Mar 2014 5:20 p.m. PST |
I am all ears as well. Are there any Sci Fi rules that are on the scale of Fist Full of TOWs? |
| Justin In Oz | 02 Mar 2014 5:24 p.m. PST |
The rule set is actually called Quadrant 13, if you are talking about the one published by Two Fat Lardies. |
| wminsing | 02 Mar 2014 6:29 p.m. PST |
Argh, it IS Quadrant 13, sorry about that! No idea how I got 7 instead of 13…. -Will |

Strike Legion from Legionnaire Games. |

Just a wild guess here, but I think you subtracted 6. |

5150 Star Army or 5150 Battalion Command. (yeah, I'm a fan) Star Army uses individual basing and is designed to handle a platoon, some vehicles, mechs and the occasional air strike. BA is squad based designed to handle a company plus vehicles, mechs and aircraft. Good hunting. |

Future War Commander, Hammer's Slammers, Alien Squad Leader, and Critical Mass to name a few. |
| McWong73 | 02 Mar 2014 8:20 p.m. PST |
Hammers, especially if you're more interested in armour. |

Are there any Sci Fi rules that are on the scale of Fist Full of TOWs? In honour of kyoteblue I suggest GDW's Striker II (OOP) each base is a platoon equivalent. However you can get the rules either here link on a CD with all the Traveller TNE RPG set or just the Striker II rules set here link as a pdf |

I'd like a ruleset that allows for larger battles, company or batallion size. I'd also prefer squad basing like in fow. Thanks in advance for your thoughts. Take a look at Dirtside II. It's free. |

Hammers slammers for tank centric and critical mass for a more mixed force Glen |

The closest set of SF style Fist Full of Tows is a set for the War of the Worlds called Fist Full of Tripods. It is a free set. PDF link |

Sorry, should have posted this first, if you haven't been to Dropship Horizon yet, it is THE place for all things 15mm Sci-fi. Here is their review of rulesets to help you choose between them:

"if you haven't been to Dropship Horizon yet, it is THE place for all things 15mm Sci-fi." ---- it used to be but i don't really think so anymore….. |

I still use GZG's original set – G-Cav.
Working on a 30th anniversary version for 2015. |
| Valmy92 | 03 Mar 2014 3:45 p.m. PST |
Heinz,
"but I don't really think so anymore…" got any suggestions for a clearinghouse of info? I agree it's not as good as it used to be, but I'm not aware of a replacement.

There is still more information and product reviews in one spot on the Dropship then anywhere else. |

I have a set designed for a company of troopers with a couple vehicles I've been working on. CLose in scope to Flames of War (squads, vehicles etc) Drop me a line and I'll send you a copy. mark@scalecreep.com |

"Arise from your grave, thread that is of interest to me!.." I've been looking for a copy of G-Cav for a little while now without much luck. Von Trknkenessen, did you have any luck with that 30th anniversary edition? Failing that, does anybody have a copy they'd be willing to part with? |
| TheBeast | 04 Feb 2017 11:51 a.m. PST |
Now that you have my attention, again… Not on Dropship:
