RE: Re: [GZG] A planetary assault as a wargames campaign

MT does cover fighters entering/departing atmosphere (it costs them 1
endurance), so starships doing the same thing would make a *serious*
dent in
their combat endurance.
This is not counting the "flying brick/target" syndrome mentioned by
several
others.

I've found that modelling a planet as a very large Sa'vasku vessel can
work
for determining suppression of military defences.  GM determined stats
are
preferable so it doesn't throw out the play balance.

I'm doing that for my revised campaign rules (available sometime in the
next
10 years) where hull = economic revenue.  So a planet worth 40 NPV has
40
hull boxes.  Gives the option of economic warfare, but planet razing is
counterproductive if you want to expand your own economy.
