[TML] 5150 and Traveller

[darby eckles]

So, I've been doing some tabletop skirmish gaming, using the "5150" sci-fi rules from Two Hour Wargames and 15mm figures from GZG.  I also just published a supplement to my Vietnam Game for THW (called "FNG") on Monday called "FNG:Unconventional Warfare".  I've used the mechanic in it for solo play, with some sci-fi tweaks, to play out some of the less conventional aspects of a planetary revolt a friend of mine and I ahve been playing out.  It works pretty well!  Basically, we've had a few games where Imperial Marines, not in battledress, had to sneak around an area to find a secret underground HQ and signal site.  Lots of fun!  In the end, I found the site, but lost 1 man KIA and another badly WIA in the a firefight.  Also almost lost my ride out when it took a hit while attempting the extraction.
   
  (I guess this is bot a self-pat-on-the-back, as well as informing y'all of some tabletop gaming  possibilities...)
