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. |

Hmmmm I think the hunt goes on. Thanks everyone for your input!! |

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. |

Anyone try Strike Legion? It can be used with 15mm figures. |

Oh, I suppose Epic: Armageddon would also work, if you like the GW universe. For whatever reason, 15mm scifi seems to be focused on individually-based troops at the 1:1 level. |

Epic Armageddon is pretty similar to World in Conflict (Cold War gone hot board game) in its basic mechanics, so I'd imagine one could tweak to make it fit any setting pretty well. |

Dirtside is multi-figure based but infantry seems a bit weak….even overlooked (unless power armored). Stargrunt II is single figure based – though a great rules set. Striker (I own it in all its versions) is incomprehensible to me. I own Hammer's Slammers but haven't played it yet. Seems like a good candidate, though. |

I have been learning Strike Legion Platoon & it is very good. I have only done the beginning scenarios with infantry so far. It & Hammers Slammers seem to be at the top of the list (my list.) Gruntz 15 mm, Tommorrows War, & Stargrunt seem to be the best options, at least that do not require conversion from another era. JPK |

Anyone use Fireteam Andromeda? |
| Oldgrumbler | 08 Nov 2017 12:15 p.m. PST |
Fireteam Andromeda sounds good but I have not seen it played. I guess it fire team based set though I did not read that anywhere. link So far Strike Legion Platoon seems to do the job for me. |
looks at another boxed set of cyborgs.
