In addition to more WWII, I have been looking at adapting Combat Patrol™: World War II to science fiction. The biggest hurdle was figuring out how to represent body armor, which I have done. We are going to play a science fiction game at the club night tomorrow, so little by little, I have been painting up my recent acquisition from Pig Iron. I am very happy with the figures. They are a nice mixture of something reasonable with something a little bit Hollywood. Other science fiction figures feature ridiculously large weapons.
A squad I painted as special forces types in black “shadow suits”
Some of the figures have the visors closed and some have them with the visor’s open. I made a ten-figure squad with the visors closed and will treat them as special operations types with better Guts, Accuracy, Morale, and Reaction attributes.
Heavy machine-gun crew
One of the things I like about the Pig Iron figures is that the weapon crews come with figures both moving and set up.
Shoulder-fired rocket launch crew, ala Carl Gustav
A sniper and a robot
Interesting two-part rocket launcher, anti-tank gun, laser cannon, or something.
A “typical” fire team, consisting of four troopers and a squad automatic weapon
A typical squad
These guys will see action tomorrow, so watch for the battle report.

It would be really cool if you could adapt for a Starship Troopers scenario! Looking forward to the Battle Report!
