Re: Valiant Miniatures?

Have pity on me; my first sci-fi(sic) games were Zocchi's Alien Space
and
Casciano's(sp?) Star Raider and Fomenhault II. Actually, I seem to have
developed a sudden block on the latter two, and am sure I don't quite
have
them right. Lovely scale, icky execution. And, let's not even try to
recall
War of the, er, um, Star Slavers?

On the other hand, I recall pleasant evenings of dispersed Risk boards
representing separate planets, and simple home-built rules for starship
warfare and troop transport between.

I think it's a longing for those days that keeps me thinking I'd like to
run a campaign using a combinations of FT II, Buck Rodgers board game,
and
Fortress America.

     Yep.  My first game was Stellar Conquest in 1972.
     Then Triplanetary, StarForce, Battle for Andromeda (ick),
     Raumkreig, Shooting Stars, and a host of others.
