Re: SGII And Points

I've been wanting to run a campaign where players move fleets between
star 
systems, fight a Full Thrust game for control of that system then fight
a 
ground-combat game for control over the planet(s) of that system in
order to 
lay claim to the wealth/resources of that planet.  

I wanted to be able to let players build their own units

Stargrunt, due to it's lack of a points-based system is ill-suited to
that.

Members of my group have expressed interest in using either Silent Dark
by 
Wolfe Games or Dirtside, with strong leanings towards DS2 because of the

scale.
