Re: Ground Zero Games Convention/Interesting game construct

Instead of driving the DS2 forces directly from the FT scenario (ie you 
get as many tanks / infantry as you can get past the defending 
spaceships) just make the result of the FT game modify the DS2 game a 
little bit - something along the lines of "attacking forces win major FT

victory - attacker gets 10% more forces in DS2 game; attackers win minor

victory - 5% more forces; FT draw - played as per scenario" etc. This 
way the GM can keep the forces under reasonable control, but the players

still have a good reason to try to win each successive scenario.
