Hi,
Just wondering if any rules are out there for Giant insects eg ants, spiders, praying mantids? Also are there any 15-25mm modernish figures armed with crossbows? Just finished reading a series of books by Lindsay Gutteridge and thought it would be a good series to wargame. Cheers Jeff Ps: I've had trouble trying to post this, ending up in a different post! |

5150 will do a pretty solid job of it. |

The Starship Troopers rules from Mongoose while out of print should still be availble on ebay, and were built with all kinds of giant insects in mind. Ganesha Games also has a set of rules called Swatters. I have not played them but I do own them and they seem similiar to their other rules sets, i.e. Song of Blades and Heroes.

Cheers for the help.
Just so happens, i've come across Ragnarok 53, which has rules for Tusk with giant ants. Can probably use the Ant rules for most insects with various adjustments, use the pterodactyl rule for wasps/hornets and use the general dinosaur rules for lizards. Cheers Jeff |

Two Hour Wargames used to have a nice set called "Bugs!" 5150 or even the free Chain Reaction rules would do it. |

I have used GASLIGHT for "Them!" Inspired games. |

Any of the Star Army rules covers Bugs in detail from Squad to Battalion level. |
