Re: Star Grunts Point System (Beware flame war erupting...)

Here is a quick point system (Based on DirtSide II) I did up last night
at
work. It should give reasonable figures.

What the point system wont do :

1: Buy troop quality. I disagree with this rule. Let the scenerio or
dumb
luck deermine this.

2: Cover all eventualities.

What I want in return.

1. No flame wars. This is a discussion about a point system. If you
agree,
good. I believe that a scenerio should be used to determine what is put
on
the board. I see the point system as training wheels so that it weens
the
"model of the month" mentality out of a lot of players. If you disagree
with points , I dont want to hear about it. Instead of flaming me, write
a
scenerio engine that can cope with flkexable force deployments
(dependant
on model availability)

			The ALPHA SGII Optional Points System

In order to use the system, determine what the figure is armed with
(either useing what the actual figure has, or what you want to have).
Common sence should be the main factor here.

1.. The costing of the SGII force is by figure. 

1.1 Human	
1.1.1 Trained (power / line in DSII)	1pt
1.1.2 Untrained (Militia)		0pt

1.2 Kravaak	(insert later)

2. Armour		 

2.1	Battledress			0pt
2.2	Partial Light			1pt
2.3	Full light			2pt
2.4	Light Power			3pt
2.5	Heavy Power			4pt

(Power armour speed should be determined on the scerio, and the
percieved
tech level of your force)

3. Weapon

3.1	Infantry Weapons

3.1.1	Improvised			0pt
3.1.2	Light/Heavy Autopistol		0pt
3.1.3	SMG				1pt
3.1.4	Hunting rifle			1pt
3.1.5	Assault Shotgub 		2pt ???
3.1.6	Low Tech Assault		1pt
3.1.7	Adv Tech Assault		2pt
3.1.8	Gauss Rifle			3pt
3.1.9	+ Greade launcher		+1pt

3.2	Support Weapons

3.2.1	Conventional MG 		3pt
3.2.2	Rotary Cannon			4pt
3.2.3	Gauss				5pt
3.2.4	Plasma				5pt
3.2.5	Auto GL 			4pt
3.2.6	MLP				3pt
3.2.7	IAVR (Per shot) 		1pt

3.3	Missiles

				B	E	S
3.3.1	GMS-P			10	20	30
3.3.2	GMS-L			20	30	40

3.4	Sniper Weapons

3.4.1	Conventional		5pt
3.4.2	Gauss			6pt
3.4.3	Laser			5pt
3.4.4	Heavy (Anti Vehical)	7pt

4	Infantry Roles

These points represent specialits and detachable troops. Care must be
used
to avoid abuse (Arming vehical crews with plasma guns and power armour
et
al). All specialist troops come with eirther autopistol or SMG (scenerio
specific or army specific)

4.1	Missile Crew (Min 2 per weapon) 10pt each (plus missile for
team)
4.2	Sniper				10ot + sniper weapon and armour
4.3	Engineer (Teams of 2+)		25pts
4.4	LAD				40pts (***comments please****)
4.5	Art Observer			50pt
4.6	Vehical crew			0pt (plus armour and weapon)
4.7	Heavy Weapon team (min 2+)	10pt (plus heavy weapon for
team)	    
4.8	Scouts				10pt + weapon and armour
4.9	EW trrope			(***comments please***)

5. Heavy Weapons and Vehicals 

Use DSII, as these rules derive off it.
