I've got 'Industrial Accident' houserules for SG2 - firing near certain
structures (tank farms, vats of stuff, pipes, refinery-type equipment)
leads to the risk of fires, explosions and gas leaks...

I use them alongside my "Aliens"-aliens rules, to give bughunting that
extra element - going into an industrial complex to rescue techs from
rampaging bugs gets more dangerous when parts of the place are dangerous
in themselves!

I don't have a copy on me, but sometime next week I'll post them to the
list for comment.

One bughunting game I ran, a fuel tank caught fire very early, after
being
caught downrange when a squad shot up some charging aliens; the damn
thing
burned for the whole game, blocking the easiest & safest route deeper
into
the complex; it also exploded three times, and because the Marine player
was unwilling to find another route, it killed most of one squad and a
hoverjeep with the second and third explosions... Very late in the game,
the fire spread explosively, expanding 6" downrange - right across the
road leading back to the compound's main gate!

Anything to get players into that twitchy, paranoid frame of mind!
