Cancon-Stargrunt 2 demo

This was run by Owen Glover <oglover@mov.vic.gov.au> and was based on a
certain incident in a movie, which for copyright reasons, escapes me
just
now. Bugs Don't Surf was be a helpful title.

On the beach and in from the dunes were 3 kravak air defence weapons, a
hidden squad of ?5, and an HQ. The forces of goodness, righteousness and
Imperial oppression ( or should that be, enlightenment) were a 4 squad
platoon of OU infantry in  VTOL transports. These squads were to
suppress
the Kravak, detach a figure to race across the beach to the nicely
modelled
surf and moved to the line of the breaking waves. (Did I say the terrain
was good?) The game ended when the surfer made it to the line of the
breaking waves. This swim would have been tricky unless the OU troops
suppressed the Kravak.

The rules were slightly simplified by not adding all to terrain and
cover
modifiers (especially for the Kravak and new players).	There were
laminated rules and squad summaries for the players and plenty of dice.
The
figures were the GZG Oceanic Union infantry with the exception of the
sniper in "Yowie" suit and the harlequin SAM. Duncan Robertson used the
NEW
OU power armour figures as one of his squads when he played . Sadly
their
airdrop landed them on some well prepared kravak squad and they were
left
with a wounded troooper and a no longer power armoured communications 
guy.
These poor chaps were sadly finished off by one of my gunships crash
landing directly on them. (The crew survived) Sorry Duncan.

Anyway it was fun and a good introduction and the trooper made it to the
surf.

Ask Nic Robson @ eureka Miniatures about the new OU figures.
(Don't mention the Humpty Dumpty power armour - Ooops)
