Interested in small-unit tactics gaming. RECON, or Twilight 2000, or GURPS, or whatever.

That actually sounds like it could be a fun game. If I should be the GM I would say GURPS would be a good system to use.

Perhaps Navy SEALS during the Vietnam War with a supernatural Delta Green-ish twist to it? Isolated firebases dealing with encroaching VCs, poor morale, rampant drug-abuse, Command totally cut off from the real world, the best music produces in decades, the absurdities of war, French plantation owners that refuse to leave their family's land, strange isolated hilltribes with horrible rituals and people riding a patrol boat into the heart of darkness ...

But it is the holidays now, my family needs me and English isnt my first language so I dont think I would be a good GM. But what a game it could be ... :)

I must stress that I am not looking for anything supernatural. I'd prefer if it was more realistic. Granted, I don't want to have to look at exact blueprints of what the Long Binh military base looked like at the time, either. Some liberties should be taken for the sake of making it easier on the GM and player(s).

I'm not 100% set on the RECON system. I'd very much so prefer it, as I don't have GURPS or anything else that would work. I do have d20 Modern, but I don't feel that it would suit what I'm looking for. I would prefer it to be a reasonably simple game, so we don't get bogged down with all the rules and fluff that brings.

I'm still in on a GURPS SpecOps game. Thought I had RECON! but must have been purged from my library.

I believe a PDF version of it can be found online. I had a physical copy, but I lost it when moving once.

Bump.

Just for the record, your game was going very well, not a disaster from my point of view.

I made some rather noticeable mistakes. I lingered too long on base, I didn't push the LT to post when everyone was waiting on him, everyone had nearly 100 Alertness because I made that way too easy to get, and I was rather unclear in my descriptions. I would love to try running the game again, but I would really like more experience with it first.

Looking to run a game with Recon rules. Merc game? I like to yahoo groups as the PBEM allows me to place character sheets and use my email link to the that site. I have run other games Battletech not Mechwarrior. I have GM both Robotech and Twilight:2000. Let me know if this is still alive. Thanks.

I still want a Recon game, yes. I'd prefer to have it on this site, though.

If there is a Recon Game starting, I wish to join.

I'd consider a Gurps based, squad maximum sized, recon game in the spirit of the old Avalon Hill "Ambush" series...

Ok just not sure how to use this site. Walk me though that and we can get going.

Okay. Create the game, and post the link to it here. You can send me a rMail if you have any questions about how to use the site.

link to another game I hope this works

Bump.

 If it ever gets off the ground, I am very interested.

In reply to Bannacor (msg # 19):

I made the site. Just have not heard anything from the others.

I have already sent you a message in that game.

In reply to aguy777 (msg # 21):

My mistake I did not know you could get private messages I figure the email link I setup would have told me this.

I am also reactivating my old Recon game, but it uses the Revised, Advanced Recon rules: link to another game

I like the game just do not like the setup here. If Mediic is willing to run a game let's join his.

What is the difference between the Advanced rules, and original rules?

I think it is the second book Recon came out with. I got the PB Deluxe Revised book that has both books in one. As the second book put it the first one was Characters are easy to make die like flies and do not think about much then keeping their weapons clean. The second book make's your character soldier,ambassador,propagandist,organizer and politician. Gives you more skill's and skill levels. Your ST,AL,and AG must be total 180. 50 or more in each Characteristics. Then you pick your MOS(two) like in the other game and those free skills and you get for example:

Grenadier  Small Arms:4/3  you get four small arms skills then pick three types of weapons. with in those small arms skills. Heavy Arms:5/3 HTH:2 Non-Weapon:3 then to level up any skill you have you get 8 extra levels.

Pig-Man: Small Arms:3/2  Heavy Arms:5/4 HTH:5  Non-Weapon:4 Extra Level:4

That is all that is to it. Beefed up characters.

It seems good for a game where the characters are a LRRP team. It always seemed like Recon might be a little too lethal at points.

Yeah, we can give your game a go, mediiic.
