Project S2 had its first game last night. A valiant platoon of Mobile Infantry was defending the Jones farm from a horde of vile warrior bugs. Or was it the other way around? In any case Farmer Jones is not too pleased since his humble abode was demolished in the process.

The first game with any rules is always something of a learning experience. Starship Troopers is pretty simple to pick up, even though the organization of the rulebook could be better in places. However, as the saying goes, mastering the rules is another matter. Playing the warrior horde against Mobile Infantry is easier said than done as they really do live up their name. We never got to try the melee rules because the bugs never actually got within striking distance of anyone.

Well, lesson learned. You'll have to be extremely aggressive with a pure warrior force to catch the Mobile Infantry. They are not suited for cautious or defensive play in any scenario that does not force the enemy to come to you.

We will be trying another game of this next week. Unfortunately I probably won't be able to paint more bugs in time for the game but I do have a tanker bug toy that can be pressed to service. The bugs definitely need some variation.

The jury is still out on this.

Now, where did I see those plasma bugs for sale...
