1. Thanks for the correction fo the spealling of Jaffa
2. Agreed, they suck, especially their staff weapons, that's why I had
already decided on all assault troops. The FMA's suggestion that they
draw 2 chits instead of 3 is worth considering.
3. I'd seen the tripod-mounted heavy staff weapon, I rate it an APSW
element in DS II terms.
4. Suggestion that they all be standard troops, not PA, is a good one.
5. The suggestion of the heavy bomber is duly noted. Any suggestions
as to weapons and a good substitute figure to represent them? I went
with the lighter fighters because I have figures for them.
6. If I ever do extrapolate further ground forces based on the concept
but not on actual stuff in the shows, I'll probably go with WH40K Epic
Eldar stuff.
OH, and I agree about the motherships (giant pyramids in space) being an
objective if landed in DS II. In FT terms, I'd say go with cinematic,
give them advanced KV drives, a whole passel of Beam-1's and one big
nasty spinal mount of some sort, and treat the base of the pyramid as
the bow of the ship.
