Here are some photos of the campaign game we played last Saturday. The campaign takes place in the south american quadrant. We are using the story and maps from the book Zentraedi Breakout. |

It was a small RPG source book that PB release many years ago. rpggeek.com/rpgitem/63080/robotech-rpg-adventures-zentraedi-breakoutThis book is great if you are playing games in the reconstruction era of the Robotech Timeline. All the players in my group have ported over 1st level RPG characters into RRT so they can level up through the campaign. So far, we are 5 games into the campaign. |

I hadn't considered using the rpg books for scenario ideas. Are there many scenarios in the books. I am not a rpg-er, so I don't have them.

Yeah, there are quite a few scenarios in the various books. Most of them are in the source books. However, my collection of the Robotech RPG books are the old school books and not the reboot books that PB has done recently, but they do provide some solid foundations for some games. The maps help as well as it allows you to set up a game board to reflect the zone you're in, etc.

I have to ask: Did anyone consider shooting the buildings to remove cover?
It was a bit of a surprise for me as the UEDF player when the pod player realized he could vaporize the buildings in short order.
I keep toying with the idea of double or triple the MD.

The way my group plays is that the terrain isn't allowed to be destroyed. We've found that it creates games that are no fun because you can simply remove the terrain if you really wanted to. In a miniatures game the goal is to use the terrain and maneuver around it. Not destroy it all. Only in certain missions did we have buildings be able to be targeted...but that was part of the mission.
