okay, im not going to lie to you, im more interested in the vehicles and weapons part of this game.
Because im building a custom Flagg, It would be cool to somehow use that in a wargame (perhaps against other people's custom and GiJoe vehicles).

ITs an ambitious thought, but I'd get a kick out of having some wargame on a huge board representing the sea and with fleets firing at each other.

Thoughts of world domination are swirling around in my mind :D

Transferring your skills/attributes/abilities to the physical nature of combat as in Warhammer would be an amazing synergy.

Imagine rolling for Zartan's chameleon influence in terms of charisma level from an rpg perspective overlapped with the physical ranges used in warhammer (or any other tabletop miniatures game) for weapon range, rate of fire, defense, etc., etc.

Well I did that pretty much. Mind you I haven't really included Zartan's chameleon influence but I'd just give him a Disguise Skill bonus for his inherent physical abilities. Or something like that. Anyway what you've described with using the RPG elements into a physical element is my game to a tee. Except that combat is different, its a little tough to explain without getting into great detail but lets just say that nearly everything is possible within a limit. Each character per turn generates what I call Action Points which they spend to do a multiple amount of different actions which is really the defining point in molding the RPG and wargaming (warhammer if you prefer) elements together.

To those interested, I just created a yahoo group for us Wargaming Gi Joe people where I'll post my rules as well. Just go to yahoo groups and I'm sure you'll be able to find it without any difficulty. I haven't posted the rules yet but join now anyway so we can all keep up with the Wargaming news.

Here's the link

The Rules are finished!

Okay I finished typing up the rules for my game. You can get it at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/joewargaming there's the site to get it. You'll have to join the group but trust me it'll be worth it. There's a lot of files there but download them all.

Well I know a lot of people view this forum so I hope everyone has been making their way to the site to go get the game. You really should since its the best way for me to distribute the files by you joining the group. Still waiting to get some feedback from those who have had the game available to them. Here's the site again even though it should be right above.
