Ragnarok 19, anybody got access to it, willing to share? All I need is that one article. |

Full Thrust on a hex grid. I've got a nice star mat with 3 and 5 inch hexes, figured I'd give it a shot. |

Ah, thanks! As I said in the hex thread: FT, although it doesn't use hexes (but could be adapted) Absolutely; has been done several times. One was the fan-written VMS that Ken Burnside uses in his strawman 'comparisons' to Full Thrust. Too much work to translate an elegant system to a confines for which it was never intended, methinks. So many lovely other choices.
I'm an FT-fanboy, for over a decade and a half, that loves how much I've stretched and adapted the rule, but never attempted a hex-based variant. Doug |

I've nearly always used a hex mat with full thrust…….the hexs are the same size as the hex bases on the stands and simply use them as 'units' of measure and the hexsides for turning etc…….. |

I too would love a copy if one is able to send it my way. I love Full Thrust and am trying to get my Wife to play with me, as it has been getting harder and harder to make it down to the clubs for pick up games (For some reason people don't like space ship battles who knew??) and I think Hex's would be easy for her to comprehend (She likes the Starmada Fleet ops, but wants something a little more complex) tinyisme at gmail dot com |
