15mm Stargrunt 2 Traveller Project

[Metternich]

Looking forward to playing this with Charlemagne.  Past games have been with StarGrunts 2 rules, but Charlemagne is talking about our using Gruntz rules, as the game system requires fewer redundant dice rolls.  Charlemagne has been talking that he is making the NeoSovs a bit more armored, with the Neue Swabians (primarily Jaegers) as lighter and faster.  The new layout with the streets looks fantastic.

I see part of the running subject title is "Traveller Project".
I don't know if you are aware of additional information that maybe is useful to your gaming.

First up is "Hammers Slammers" home page, a lot of very useful information and stats for many of the vehicle that are carried at Brigade Models. http://www.hammers-slammers.com/home.htm

Second is the "Hammers Slammers" Traveller RPG rule book. This might add some flare to your gaming. If interested in RPG games. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/63338/Hammers-Slammers

Third is "Traveller Striker" rule books Strike I, Striker II and Equipment Book for 15mm, that you might find useful as well https://www.amazon.com/Striker-Rules-15mm-Traveller-Miniatures/dp/B000HOVZ62

Well, that's my two cents, enjoy.

Thanks War Monkey.  I have owned Striker since the rules first came out (and frankly find them so complex they are almost unplayable - some canon information that is useful however).  Stargrunts2 is some improvement on that, with  Stargrunt.ca  (a fan group consisting of players who were testers for the original Stargrunt 2) have various systems for converting Traveller equipment to Stargrunt 2.  Stargrunt 2 remains a bit overly complicated (the system has redundant dice rolls for firing, hitting, penetrating, causing damage, etc.).  The beauty of Gruntz seems to be that it compresses the die rolls needed.

Charlemagne and I each purchased the Xenos Rampant rules and are considering using those for our Traveller-based games.  They are highly adaptable and reasonably playable.  We have played one game with Gruntz, not a Traveller based game, and it was reasonably playable (albeit more complex than Xenos Rampant).
