Thanks for all the responses so far; maybe I should have done this in the first place, but  if it's not too late let's turn this into a mini-survey: I'd like as many listers as possible (yes, that means you lurkers too!) to respond to this - go on, it'll only take you a couple of moments!

 

1) Do you (or have you in recent years) play SG2?

a) Yes, with 25/28mm minis

b) Yes, with 15mm minis but using standard SG2 - ie: single-based figures

c) Yes, with 15mm minis but modified for group-based figures

d) No, interested but have no opponents/time/money etc...

e) No, not interested

 

A & B – I like the 15mm because of space constraints. The 25mm works great for very small-unit RPG-style action, but not so well for the “mass” combat. That said, I really like the SG2 system and don’t have any desire to see it change overmuch for a new squad-based game. Not sure how realistic that is, but I’d be interested in “less” change rather than “more” change.

 

2) Would the development of a game like we've been discussing (let's call it SG3) fit what you would want from a hard SF ground combat game?

a) Yes, and I'd play it in 15mm

b) Yes, but I'd still play it in 25/28mm (or 6mm, or anything else!)

c) No, this level of game doesn't interest me

 

A (& possibly B) – I’m really pretty excited about the idea of a 15mm company level game. I’d love for a decent number of vehicles to be available to match the increasing number of minis. Especially vehicles that cross the various scales so that I can replicate different “levels” of combat in the same engagement. That’s the sort of thing that would appeal to the people I play with as well as my own take on putting together campaign games.

 

3) Would the development of SG3 in this direction tempt you into buying/collecting 15mm forces?

a) Yes, I'd buy a new 15mm army!

b) I already have a 15mm force waiting for a game system...

c) No, I've got enough lead/scale/projects already!

 

A- Hands down. I’ve been slowly getting rid of some of my 25mm and most of my 28mm minis because I just don’t have the space to play large-scale battles with them. Seeing the new 15mm stuff has been a whole lot of fun!
