I was recently recommended a RPG product from another system, <font size="1">GURPS Massed Combat</font>, as an excellant product for handling military operations within a RPG format.<br /><br />That combined with the recent work on Mercy Mission to Madderly's Star has inspired me to work on a Battle Dawn Rules supplement.<br /><br />Basic idea will be to abstract a battle with simple dice rolls using elements of troops, vehicles and etc.<br />Haven't finished reading the product yet but I know I dont want to rip it off anyway. Rather develop SF style rules and mechanics that feel like they're part of the canon. I'm also drawing some inspiration from <b>Fantasy Warrior</b> (an OOP miniatures massed combat rule set available on the web) Which had some really good ideas for massed miniatures combat that I've not seen in any other miniatures rule set for that style of gaming.<br /><br />Also will be drawing inspiration from <b>Star Grunt</b> by GZG (another free downloadable PDF)<br /><br />final product should account for mercenary, militia, Ground Fleet, Space Fleet, sathar and possible primitives<br /><br />relative troop quality and equipment quality should be accounted for
