Hi all,
I was at work today (another slow day as usual) and I had a =
brainstorm! Let's face it - LoGH space battles are basically patterned =
after traditional warfare (massive numbers on each side, in formation, =
chain of command up to the leader on each side, flanking maneuvers, =
charges, etc...) so what system would be PERFECT? Answer is obviously =
the Battlesystem 2nd Edition by TSR! Disregarding all of the AD&D magic =
rules (which are all optional anyway) it has rules for ranged combat =
(intended for boys and arrows and artillery, but work perfectly for the =
main neutron cannons) and all other types of combat, armor, movement, =
charges, command, morale, in short EVERYTHING. It can be easily modified =
so one counter can represent from one to any number of ships (to =
abstractly handle large engagements) and the rules are basically very =
easy to understand and use. I'm going to try a few conversions and I'll =
post them if anyone's interested - I'd LOVE to hear any feedback on this =
subject!
