Star Mogul now becomes SALVAGE CREW (FREE RULES)

[supervike]

I was always a big fan of Alpha Forge's Star Mogul, and after a few years of languishing in obscurity, it's being re-released.  The New Version is also renamed as SALVAGE CREW

The new version of the rules includes a bit of streamlining and some nice additions.

It's available on the MEGA MINIS site as a free PDF download.

The game is really worth checking out (especially at that price!)

It can be played with just about any sci-fi minis you have laying about, but the official minis are still available through Mega Minis (at very affordable pricing)

The owner of the site is working on releasing the supplements in future months, as well as a line of 15mm miniatures to go with it.

Hope some of you check it out, and this game becomes a bit more well known.

On my way there now - the rules (as they were) needed a little bit of streamlining (although not much), so I'm looking forward to seeing what they've done with them. And in the environmentally conscious age we live in, I think this is a GREAT game - very prescient, very insightful. There's a lot that could be done with it, in the right hands. Here's hoping that that's where it's found itself. Plus, I have enough minis for about three crews, so it's about time I got up off my proverbial and painted them!

It was the minis that drew me to them, and then the cool universe that really hooked me.

It seems like I've been the head cheerleader for the rules and the minis for a long time, and sometimes mostly to an empty stadium....I'm really hoping more people check them out, become hooked.

It's so much more fun to get excited about gaming/modelling when others are doing it as well.

I agree, and I know you've championed the game for a long while. I love the world and the background too, and a lot of the minis are very cool - some of the human salvage guys are great minis - but I also like how open the game is in terms of using other minis. In fact, the "game" minis scale really well with lots of other 28mm sci-fi stuff out there. I had planned to do a couple of rounds for the LPL with salvage crews, but at the last minute had to face reality, so no LPL for me this year. However, I've painted quite a few of the entries I had planned, so I'm going to go ahead and paint the salvage crews too, which are a mix of two or three different manufacturers, so that people can see how well the models can be mixed and matched. After I've done that, I'll coax some people in the local club to play a few games, and we'll see what happens. All this could take months, though - the gaming, that is. The minis are on my painting table - although you know what that can be like! Pictures as I have them (and can figure out how the hell to take them....)
All in all, good news - let's see what comes of it!

These rules look good.  I will have to put them in the gaming cue.  SuperVike: I remember your pics of StarMogul models from CMON.  Good to see thsat you're continuing the cheerleading.

Do you use the same avatar here as you do there? 

I've wondered if you were the same guy before, but never quite figured it out!

Great little game. I'll have to work it back into the rotation.

Guilty, same guy.  The avatar is a mini I painted ages ago.

Good to know!  I won't talk bad about you here....LOL.....
