This little comment got me to thinking. Lets let bygones be bygones and get some good stuff going here again for SST. Perhaps we need some ideas, what could we players/forum junkies do to get some nice stuff laid down adn some games in our local area going?

Are there some Demo rules for SST:Evo?
Perhaps msprange can answer some blunt questions for us?
Come up with some fluff and perhaps work on a worldwide campaign setting? For example a planet invaded colonists needing rescue we could work on a modified world map.
Lets get some resources again for new players perhaps get a thread stickied so that we can easily answer basic question, without resulting to frothing or name calling.

Well it just leaves one thing Are you with me trooper?!
 
Yeah it would be nice... Sad to say this is the most active this forums been in months ( Unless you count the AT-43 discussion :D )
 
Haldeman's Dust Devils on the bounce.

If I can be of service, just yell.

Somewhere on the forum somewhat stated it would be interesting to give more thought to background and things like that.

We do have some of the most devoted troopers out there making scenery, cards, stories and other things.
What wouldn't we be able to achieve if we put our minds to it????

A thread containing basic "what's going on now" info all in one place would be capital. I was always VERY impressed with the kind of support the SST grassroots could muster between themselves - I think we really have a chance of helping to build a future for this game, so very full of potential.

Still, I want to see this upcoming announcement from Teh Mongooses before I decide a course of action...
 
>>>Are there some Demo rules for SST:Evo?

Yes - you'll find them on the BF Evo page. Seriously, the rules are the same. Unit cards. . . well, you'll have to be a little more patient for those.

>>>Perhaps msprange can answer some blunt questions for us?

Okay, but none have been posed yet :)

>>>Come up with some fluff and perhaps work on a worldwide campaign setting? For example a planet invaded colonists needing rescue we could work on a modified world map.

In the works.

In all seriousness, if you want some serious SST action before Evo hits, I would recommend taking a look at the campaign in Klendathu Invasion - it is a classic fight to the death (usually :)), and will keep you going for some time. . .
 
Yes, the Klendathu Campaign is a nice place to start, with the various missions from S&P and in the download section as an add-on.

I played it with a mixed force of LAMI, PAMI and ExoSuits.
Though on the MI, but that's the way we like it!


Back on the bounce,

what is the new status quo at the moment?

Which race expanded to where, which alliances (if any) have been struck and what about those mysterious Forth? Where do they come from?

Clevenger's Avengers on the bounce!

I think the idea of a campaign game with reports from SST players is a great idea.

I will start this up at my FLGS.

Regards

Avenger 6
 
Well... we could come up with temporary army lists for SST evo to be used until SSTE comes out.

It'd give me a reason to dig out my arachnid and MI armies.
 
Yep, giving us SST first-hour fans a couple of "temporary" rules and stats would have us play again. We could even give some feedback about the "feel" of the new rules and this could help Mongoose fine-tune the rules.
Personally, I've got TONS of Bugs (2 Brain, 3 Tanker, 1 Plasma, 40+ Warriors, spiders, firefries,...) just gathering dust and now working on a LAMI army (60 units, ordered 20 more) also on standby. I'm starting to get the shakes of not playing for MONTHS in a row now.
PLEASE give us something, anything to dig our teeth in MGP !!
Hope the big announcement is good new, we fans need it.
Meanwhile, I'll help create fluff for upcoming campaigns.
Your Bugly
 
ok where are the demo rules for SST as they now stand? Someone mentioned the Grizzly and lami vs warriors and tankers. perhaps with some guestimating or help from mongoos HQ we could get our cards for the basic troops like CAP troopers.

We have no unit stats whatsoever ATM. Grizzly, lami, warriors and tankers are the first wave releases for MI and arachnids(skinnies get raiders and soldiers I think and forth got SOMETHING. Don't recall what though).

LAMI's are likely similar to old one. Warriors are big ? though. Target 4+ and improved armour save or old stats? Now that's the question. Immune to moritas in terrain or not?
 
Do we want to run this as support or maybe as another "constructive criticism" topic?

Whatever, I'm in on this if I can help.
 
So, who's on the bounce?

We did this before, but I can't find the thread anymore.

State the name of your company / platoon, on which ship they are stationed, what is there recall song and where are you headed?

Haldeman's Dust Devils - Earth's Hope - Blitzkrieg Bop - LV-426 on a relieve mission

S
 
Le Guin's 'Bolo's' (Kudos to anyone who gets the reference...and not the tank!)- the 'Barchini Saltatori'- "The Battle of Algiers"- Zegema Beach


That's one SF link, one British link and one Italian link.
