Re: GZG-ECC IV Event

So now its a tradition.

First you run the BYOF FT game last year that I bring my Cheese Fleet to

and now this!

I may have to break down and buy some SG figures now. Let's see... I
will 
take 4 grunts, 3 Sergants, 2 Captians, and a General. 10 soldiers = 10 
points. But I can give each grunt 8 actions per turn! You may want to 
figure costs for Superiors (Leaders? I don't have my SG book handy to
get 
the correct term) that can reactivate units additional cost based on
level. 
Now I get to play SG about once per year, so I may have missed
something, 
but it may need some additional balancing.
