The ranges are different partly due to wanting a slightly different style of game. <br />Though it has been a while since I have played either ruleset. Mainly because for sci-fi I am playing Necromunda style skirmish games presently.<br />Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918057670249529750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7174146262920547660.post-87929668873515447612018-02-06T10:11:27.807+11:002018-02-06T10:11:27.807+11:00Interesting that you switched some element of the ...Interesting that you switched some element of the SciFi rules, but many others remain the same. I see the big differences are that more units get to act in a single turn and that your combat is step reduction (figure removal) rather than all-or-nothing, like the previous ones. Have you abandoned the company-level rules, or do they scratch an itch that the squad-level rules do not?<br /><br />I was also wondering why you did not adjust the ranges as you scoped down to a smaller level.<br /><br />Interesting as always.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667428218897971037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7174146262920547660.post-58826435408110195032017-05-21T12:22:19.391+10:002017-05-21T12:22:19.391+10:00When making them I had drawn a top down view which...When making them I had drawn a top down view which I photocopied a number of times. These were cut out and stuck to thin balsa wood sheets. I then cut them out and glued the layers to get the right thickness/height. Once done a light sanding and plenty of PVC glue to get a smoothish finish before painting.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918057670249529750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7174146262920547660.post-33679859939456898902017-05-21T11:04:45.269+10:002017-05-21T11:04:45.269+10:00Lol.
