    @oriskany : oh, most definitely silly in 40k. One definitely needs to switch of the brain at times.
    That’s before you consider the speed at which these things are supposed to move in fiction. At least we got orbital drop troops now, so we don’t need impossibly sized jets delivering the troops to the field.
    And as much as I like the aesthetics of some of the impossibly huge ones they’re not practical to use either, unless you want a bullet magnet (which has its uses).

    I kind of noticed that in Bolt-Action as well. My precious trucks barely got to move a few centimeters.
    It doesn’t stop me from adding them to my army because I like the models though.

    Anyways …

    I wonder if ‘Red Dawn’ ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087985/ ) can be done with any of the rules mentioned so far.

    civillians instead of the usual professionals would be interesting to see in a wargame.

    (well … that is modern war too, right ? ;-))

    @oriskany not sure as not sure what rules set to use or make up something simple to test the concept not sure if it could be done digitally.

    @limburger I would use 7TV. It’s built to recreate movies and TV shows like this.

    Skirmish Sangin would also work.

    @oriskany – inclusivity all the way.

    @limburger – I’ve been surprised the way players park their Rhinos and Predators with the vehicles bum protected by a rock or other terrain.  “How did it park there?  Looks like it would need a 20 point turn to achieve that.”

    I always got stumped by tanks in FoW.  People would run them shoulder to shoulder, which wasn’t “realistic” to my mind.  Some vehicles would zoom past their opponent’s without them ability to fire at the moving targets …. At least that is what I was told the rules allowed – I would have liked a rule similar to overwatch in 40K.

    Super-sorry, @templar007 – We actually had to run the stream twice, the first one had to be discarded after an audio issue, so I ran another one at 11:20 EST.  The second, corrected stream is available here for view.  😀

    I love seeing all this support for SITREP.  I really admire Gianna, Ralph. Chris, and Jim for providing a additional avenue for gamers and hobbiests to get their modern war game on.

    Neat to see G on the weekender!  Hope she gets that round table discussion for Adepticon.

    By the way @piers the mini’s look GREAT!  I especially love the infantry staged with the Buddha statue.
