House Rules for Large Engagements Using Gruntz 1.1

I myself got into 15mm so I could play Games on a Larger Tactical Level & be able to use Combined Arm Forces without it being Silly as it is in most 28mm Games. I Have Been Playing Tactical Engagement using a Minimum of a Full Platoon + associated Support Units & have started playing Games with Multiple Platoons & even in some cases going above the Company Level with some Forces. I always attempt to keep Forces Involved in the Game Balanced but  the Points are Secondary.  I prefer to play Narrative Story Driven Scenarios. I find it more challenging & fun to use Full TO&E's for the Forces Involved. Gruntz & Gruntz 1.1 have been a Really Good Rules System for this Size Tactical Engagements & only Required a few Small Tweaks to Make the Rules Work for Tactical Engagements of Platoon & Company Level in the Game. I Play with the following Modifications to the Core Rules to allow Larger Games of Gruntz.& Gruntz 1.1 .

Objective Markers

I put together a couple of Objective Markers for my Games.  They are Just Supply Drops or caches.  I did them Generic so they can be used by most forces. I used Rocco crates & jerrycans, a couple of pieces from a set of WW2 supplies I purchased a while ago & some home made Barrels & Tarps to partially conceal the supplies.

Hobby Update for 2013

I Currently have (10) Force that are In Progress at one stage or another, The Factions represented by them are listed bellow.  I will be reworking some of the Color Schemes or adding Additional Optional Schemes to some forces.  In addition I plan to Update Some of the TO&E's & Backgrounds once I get to each Faction.  My Goal is to rework all My Factions into 1 Cohesive Background, Forming a Consistent Core for a Complete Science Fiction Setting while leaving enough freedom to allow additional Data to be added Easily.
