Very interested in what you are doing for Rampage scenery. Are you going for flash stuff to use in other gaming? ? I am tending toward the more durable stuff and recently saw some good stuff made from blocks of wood. Very effective skyscrapers I thought - and most importantly, compatible with kids playing too! http://members.tripod.com/storm_axe10/gmr/id4.html I also found cheap (ie free!) paper models here: http://www.papertoys.com Which has let me start building my hometown of Syndey for a stomping! "New Avalon Hill game: Monsters Menace America!" - Ohhh... I haven't heard of this one... The Hoth project also sounds very cool, - can't wait for the pics!

I made some modifications for the 40k universe, although I haven't tried them much. Primarch. I heard of some guys using it for Victorian Sci-Fi (War of the Worlds, Space 1889 etc). ? For example, they renamed: High Energy Lasers (HELs) - "Electric Guns" Light missiles became "Smuts AntiVehicular Rockets" And others... The modular vehicle rules they used to create: Armoured Landships! A great and very versatile set of rules! _________________ Tas My General blog: http://tasmancave.blogspot.com/ My VSF Blog: http://pauljamesog.blogspot.com/ My ECW Blog: http://declaresir.blogspot.com/

Titans are modular vehicles and created some extra weapons categories like "warp projectors" and "flame weapons". Very robust system.

DSII is very unforgiving of people who do not understand tactics. dafrca _________________ "Every Man is a But Spark in the Darkness"               - Cities of Death, page 59 Come fight me, if you dare...... http://dd-janks.mybrute.com

GMR stands for Giant Monster Rampage, a game of Godzilla-like giant monster combat. http://mysticeyegames.com/ Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. _________________ 6mm Sci-fi: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/6mm ... nWarGames/ My Personal Blog: http://6mm-minis.blogspot.com/

I was planning to use my 6mm terrain for the game. Blocks are nice though although the flash stuff is much more pretty to look at. With children though, blocks are the way to go! Tas: The Hoth project also sounds very cool, - can't wait for the pics!

I've been wanting to do it for some time. I'm pretty excited about it (and have been for some time as the New Years Resolution shows!) and just found a crucial book to help in the planning: "Star Wars Locations - The Original Trilogy."

It has a map of the entire Hoth battlefield and the only illustration of an AT-AT landing barge I've ever seen!

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
