Like in the subject, looking for 15mm hard sci-fi rules where the infantry is based on stands 1 or 2 stands per squad. Guess I'm thinking something along the lines of the Dirtside II rules for 6mm. Thanks for any advice. Apologies I should add vehicles remain 1-1 no basing required. |

Stargrunt with casualty markers. ;) |

This is what I've been looking for a while too… Maybe not as strict on the "hard" part… - Striker has a reputation (never read nor played it) of being overly crunchy
- Crossfire while a perfectly good game isn't sci-fi. While "count as" works for a while, after a while I start to feel like I'm missing the good parts of sci-fi…
- It might be me but using multibased minis with casualty markers is kind of defeating the purpose of multibasing… Sorry, not a terribly helpful post here, just my two cents! |

Another vote for Crossfire. Though Stargrunt II comes a close second. |

How about Hammer's Slammers the Crucible? I haven't played them, but from the battle reports I've seen it looks good. link regards, Bill |

Dirtside, just use 15mm minis instead of 6mm. And adjust groundscale a lot. I'd probably aim for a groundscale of about 1"=25m, but 1"=10m like for Stargrunt wouldn't be impossible. I'd leave most of the artillery out of the game, however! Hammers Slammers is also a pretty good ruleset, has lots of weapon options. |

thx "Lion in the Stars" was thinking I would have to relook at these rules since nothing else seems to have surpassed them in recent years. |

Another vote for Hammer's Slammers: The Crucible. |
