RE: Combined FT - SG2 Scenario

Coming into the discussion a litle late due to Time Zones.....but...

At CANCON this year we played the interlinked scenarios of SG and FT
over
the three days. Two games parralleled what you are suggesting VERY
closely.

In our case the FT battle determined how many dropships would managed to
deploy, therefore dictating how many troops and vehicles would land to
participate in the ongoing ground war!

After our play testing and 'brain storming' we decided that concurrent
games
really weren't satisfactory. As someone has pointed out, SG game turns
take
a lot longer in most games to play through than FT. Swapping from FT to
SG
back to FT tends to break the continuity of the game but does allow some
people to play in both games if so inclined!

What would be wonderful to do but is likely impractical is keep the FT
players totally isolated from the SG players and play out the SG game in
teh
morning and then the FT midday then another SG game in the
afternoon/evening
and finallya FT game to finish!

I'd like to see the AAR in any case!

Cheers,

Owen
