Playtesting Rob from the club's new set of generic rules, "Free Fire", about which more in detail later, I suspect.

| Union Marines deployed |
We were using the SciFi bolt-ons, in a scenario which involved a three cornered fight between some Union Marines trying to get the local ambassador to a dropship pickup and off planet, some locals who wanted to capture him to get the Union's attention and some goblinoids who (like their kind in every setting) didn't care who they killed.

| Figures by Scotia Grendel - who will be at this year's Hereward show. |
We only got two turns in, in which it was kind of interesting to see how the differently statted and led forces handled completely differently (by design). Also, how rubbish my dice rolling was. It's a d8 based system, and I suspect d8s don't like me one bit :D
More, doubtless, when we get to playtest some more. It has a very interesting skill/combat system based on, essentially, one well designed core mechanic (yes, this is a well-known way to impress me), and so far it seems to work.
Other club members have already had a go at it in a fantasy setting, and we\re considering it for a WW2 setting for a show game at some point.
