(Third of three--for now.) To test SF skirmish rules, I need to identify individual Imperial Storm Troopers. Yes, I could randomly roll up letters and numbers, but what's the joy in that? What else can be done? So far I have: HOT-001 (my only female) USA-011 NCC-1701 (a very enterprising fellow) PI-314 (on the weight control program) and the tragic WTC-911 But surely I am only scratching the surface. What else can be done? Thanks. |

WD-40, slippery one MIG-21, ubiquitous one THX-1139, the nonconformist K-19, the widowmaker HEY-19, the steely one DD-38, the one everyone pays attention to I-35, the one that is always congested |

Not quite the same thing, but for my Vietnam armies all troopers have a three digit code. Platoon number – squad number – trooper number with the trooper number the position within the squad. 120 – squad leader of the second squad of the first platoon. 239 – low man in the third squad second platoon. I keep the weapon type standard thru out the platoons. That way any trooper number 4 is the SAW gunner. |

Excellent idea, Col Durnford. But I'm thinking of games with fewer and more individualized figures for this--probably no more than 12 figures per side and possibly half that. Can't believe none of us thought of FW-190, who's a tough fighter, or SF-312, the security officer. |
