Re: Counter terrorism FMA was Alien terrain

Beth,

Good points again.  I like the idea of this "interface style" game. 
With
the right setup you could even make random terrorist patrols and
positions
to go along with the set ones.	I think it would be very interesting
once
the shooting starts to see the terrorists activating and moving towards
the
commotion.  (This of course easily set as a diversion while the other
team
quietly penetrates the room with the hostages.

Going to have to throw the thinking cap on and sit for a bit to work
some
stuff out.

Depends on your group of players, people with limited imagination of
their
own probably shouldn't play the terrorists (ones sitting inside having a
smoke not knowing their certain doom approaches). If such a person
insists
then give them something lively to do....he's figs are involved in a sly
poker game or "ladies" have decided to come for a stroll or something.

If the players have vivid enough imaginations of their own then some
very
fun and exciting things can happen all by themselves...imagine the looks
on
faces that occur when a "attacking" fig marches a "defending" fig in at
gun
point to which the marchee comments to his comrades "I needed a leak so
sue
me!" ;)

Cheers

Beth
