Re: Stargrunt in the Big Room with the Blue and (sometimes) White Ceiling...

Yeah, that was probably me.  Action figures are probably my stepping
stone into miniatures gaming.  You should have seen all the
cardboard-box towns and scratch-built vehicles my brother and I had for
our many action figures.  :o)  And then there was the pseudo-wargame
with rubber bands and damage die rolls....  :o)

And pardon me for forgetting that many wargamers are of such an age as
to not be so inclined to getting down on one's knees.  I'll blame my
youthful niavety, ok?  ;o)  I am only 18, after all...

  Hi, Buddy!

  Did you mention your playing with GI Joes on
rec.games.miniatures.misc? I
  recall seeing a similar post there.

  Never heard of SGII played that way. You must remember, though, for us
of
  the youth-challenged persuasion, the advantage to yard-FTII+ is that
the
  ships 'stakes' mean seldom having to bend down or move on your knees.

  I know MY knees and back aren't up to the task! ;->=

  Has anyone one else thought about playing or actually played stargrunt
outside
  (yes, that big room with the blue ceiling and really bright light. 
<sarcastic
  smile>), using one's lawn and such as natural terrain?  Me and my
brother used
  to play outside with GI Joes all the time, so I think a game of SGII
in a patchy
  area of lawn, your mom's flower garden, the shoulder of the driveway,
the
  nearest drainaige ditch, woodpile, etc, would be pretty cool.  Accent
it with
  some pre-made buildings, and even better.  What do you think?
