Delouser Miniatures

[101stAirborne]

Ebob, I have since reread and watched the movie again and was wondering about your rules for the tabletop version you were tackling.

The "Delouser" mission was so prominent in the story I was wondering if you've figured out a way to incorporate that into your game in any way shape or form?

Since you created two distinct MP's I decided to use the one with the MP40 as another Sentry and have used one of the regular sentries marching with the KAR98 or Mauser slung over his shoulder as a POW in one of Mr. Guest's fabulous creations.

A slightly different coloring on the uniform and the weapon but everything else the same as would be normally.

I started cooking up some ideas in my head but they would involve creating those other characters belonging to X-organization who are "invisible."

Cheers,

Drew

Something I wanted to build into the game would be that each guard has a 'vigilance' score. When the German player deploys his guards at the start of each day - he could choose to put his most vigilant guards either in the towers or at the gates.
If less vigilant guards are on the gate you could go for a simple 'walk out' like the russian pows or delousing attempt - on the other hand if the towers are less vigilant you might try going out that way.

Have you further expanded anything else on that topic?

I'm really interested in developing this into a tabletop game.... well I mean watching it develop further.... its your baby after all....

What's neat about this is that you could come up with different escape techniques rather than characters as there were a couple hundred different types and just basically who gets lucky and who doesn't?

So you could scrounge up pieces of metal or whatever to make pliers and then have a stooge attempt to "blitzout" through the fence.

I think a tabletop game that is dice and card driven is a sound idea for such an adventure.

But for tabletop there should be profiles and objectives for a scenario driven game.

I've got ideas but nothing fluid yet, I'm still painting and thinking as I go.

I'm working on converting my extra 3 ferrets *made a woops buying the extra set - didn't read rules thoroughly enough* into sentries with some of those weapon bitz from Simon at BAM.

Keep me posted!

If you have any ideas regarding developing rules for the table top game - please do
I think scenario based is probably best - that way there are some specific obvectives.
