Hi, everyone!
Has anyone of you tried Star Mogul from Alpha Forge? If so: Is it good/recomendable/worth investing in?
I've been on the lookout for a non-GW SF-skirmish game for a while, and I like the idea of a small spacecraft-based enterprise trying to make a living like that...

I don't know Star Mogul, but if you are looking for a good SF-skirmish game try Infinity:
http://www.infinitythegame.com
The rulebook is avaliable for download in the site so you can have a look at the game mechanics.
-
I prefer the Rezolution rules to the Infinity ones, RZ being a little more stringent and less prone to abuse, but RZ has its quirks, too... it plays better than Inf., IMHO.
-
I've played Infinity a few times, and I found most of the system very refreshing: Response Actions, Electronic Warfarfe and the terrain heavy table appeal to me.
I gave RZ a quick glance, but most of the minis are not my cup of coffee at all.
From my experience I can recommend http://www.wargamesunlimited.com/nolimits/index.html , which is free and has quite good build-your-own-troops rules.
-
I've got the Infinity rules, and one of my gaming pals is quite eager on that, so mebbe... I'm just more into the 'dark industrial (Alien/Aliens)' look and feel....
-
You could try the Warzone rules. Some of the best game mechanics ever and you can get the old rule book for less than $5 from ebay.
One I like very much for modern and sci-fi combat is Assault Squad. It's free in every sense: http://www.assaultsquad.741.com/
Of course there are the omnipresent KillZone, Combat Zone, Future Wars... there are plenty of sci-fi skirmish rules. You have just to know what you want the rules allow you to do with them.
I never heard of Star Mogul. It would be nice if somebody could share his experience. Think this could be another part of my collection of rulesets.

Star Mogul is a good set of rules with a built in campaign mechanic and some innovative touches.
I've been dabbling......

Don't talk to me about Warzone, I'm a veteran 8) ! Actually, I was responsible for introducing it on the Danish market, while I was working as manager of a games shop in Svendborg Funen.
It rocks! And I'm so sorry that Excelsior went down...
I'm an Imperial and Dark Legion man, btw. ;-)

i'm very tempted to try Star Mogul. Next year, i think...

Now that I'm at it:
Urban Mammoth have some nice sci-fi figs for Urban War and the upcoming Metropolis (it's a conversion of Void1.1)

I don't game much (read, at all) but I am familar with the rules set. I like the Star Mogul rules quite a bit...Like Matakishi said, some neat innovations, and a very cool overall campaign feel.
Plus, I love the minis (which is the reason I read ANY rulebook)
