Snapshot
Made using Traveller 1e's combat system, it runs fast and furious (I never liked that Savage Worlds tagged that in some of the longest combats I've seen) and the included maps and chits are made for 15mm. We just used chits and did some simple combats using the smallest area of the ship. No one survived their first hit. The randomness of character generation makes things a little unbalanced at first glance, but since any hit generally drops the opponent, there isn't a huge difference. My opponent had a +3 to hit and I had a -1. We had a pretty even kill ratio despite that as tactics were more important.
I'd like to institute some of the rules from the original UFO: Enemy Unknown video game (aka X-Com).
