Has anyone played these? I'd like to know what you think of them and how they mesh with the 5150 Star Army, or 5150 Star Army Platoon Leader rules? Also, I'd like to know if there are rules included for active and passive vehicle defenses, various armor types, grav armor and hovercraft, etc., etc.? |

It's been a few years since I played a few games. So take all of the following with a grain of salt. I didn't like the combat resolution, but I can't remember details. I think it was something along the lines of "roll Xd6 based on weapon system, then compare with Y defense number". If it was under, defender rolls on a "Clank Test" (they may bail, move in reverse or ignore it). If roll was more than twice the target number, roll to see if the round went through and through. Then roll for casualties in the tank. Far too involved for my tastes, but you could get really good resolution on what a shot did. And the more you play the easier it gets. The rules are too abstract to list out specific armor types. It's designed more as a light RPG. Here's Ed's blog: link
