Default Re: creating a new, fictional oob

Try the Glosters at the Imjin River scenario a couple of times - should do for the flavour of the books without any need for any fiddling about.

I can't see any 'fun' element in the adaptation - no tactics, merely a sheer horrendous unrelenting knock-down grind. WW1 style trench warfare defence really. There is a reason there are not many WW1 trench warfare games (computer or tabletop) about. This would be WW1 on steroids.

The books seem to rely on WMD to have any real effect on the aliens - and WMD are not modelled.
