I've started working on the game I will be hosting at Kublacon in May this year. I want to run a Traveller RPG style boarding action using the Galactic Heroes rules.
The game will have room for six players. Each player will run a crew of approximately 5 figures. There will be three crews made up of Zhodani boarders and three crews of Imperial defenders. In addition to the crews each side will have some help from small bands of Grunts. The Grunts will become available to player crews through a variety of ways, mostly random.
For the Zhodani I did six three-man teams of Grunts. I used miniatures from the Sedition Wars game.
For Imperial troops in Battle Dress I'm using Hasslefree's Five-Eight miniatures
For the ship's decks I took my pdf copy of GDW's Azhanti High Lightning game and blew the maps up to scale with 28mm figures to use as a guide. My goal is to have six decks available for play. Each player's crew, whether they be part of the Zhodani boarding party or the Imperial crew will have primary and secondary objectives that will require them to move from deck to deck to perform a few skill tasks while staying alive.
Eventually I'll have lasercut floors and bulkheads to replace the printed maps.
There are more work in progress pictures of various parts of the game's progress on my blog.
