I'm trying to finally get all of my painted but never used figures on the table. To do this I've decided to pick a bunch of figs at a time and then look for some rules to use with them. My first pick are Eli Arnt's exelent YanDrassi available through 15mm.co.uk link
And a slightly reworked P.A. from Brigade models http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/15mmSF/Figures/SF15-005.html So,
this is me
these are the bad guys
Terrain will be space ship corridors and/or densely covered terrain. Please help me kill them in a third person shooter tabletop extravagansa. |

5150 from Two Hour Wargames would work well. |

Try Chain Reaction first, it's free and gives you a feel for the Reaction System. link Download How to Play THW to get the real story about "all the tables". LOL link |

Any of the Chain Reaction style games should work. (THW) Also Flying Lead would work well. (Ganesha Games) |

Normally I'd sell you on some of my games but for a "third person shooter" approach, Chain Reaction or 5150 for sure. |

Thanks for all the great suggestions.
I've decided to go with two rule sets.
For the indoors/space ship terrain, which is gridded, I'll be using Guncrawl from Genet models .
For those games that are not on gridded terrain I'm going to go with Gruntz Special Ops by Clear Horizon.
I have used Gruntz before for solo games and this will be a great exuse to finally buy the expansion ;) |

Try Black Ops (Osprey) for stealth missions, or Five Core (Nordic Weasel Games) for games at the open. |

Guncrawl? Awesome! I really like that game for interior fights. There's a lot of cool stuff in it. Good luck! |
