Hey all---did a quick playtest of my sci-fi rules, Off World, which are based on my WWII rules, A Sergeant's War. The playtest was intended to test out some of the changes I've made to the game, to make it faster moving and higher-firepower than the WWII version.

The scenario: Two days ago, a team of mercenaries attempted a snatch-and-grab operation at the Hanoi Military District Space Port. They were unsuccessful, suffering heavy casualties; the survivors, with several stolen combat droid units, fled the scene in a orbital lighter. UNEM Space Command shot down the lighter before it could lift to orbit and the ship crashed near the Vietnamese/Laotian border.

UNEM Army forces cannot legally operate in Vietnam, so PAVN troops responded, tracking the crashed ship and encircling the mercenaries with infantry, APCs, and their own combat droids. A shootout followed near a small hamlet in the jungle.
