The wargaming world of Nozza

A Star Trek themed game of Galactic Heroes last night This game was based on the 'Bug Hunt' scenario available in the Galactic Heroes rulebook. Instead of using the published Xenos, we replaced them with Borg. The Borg   Shoot: N/A Close Combat: D12 Traits Soulless : Never take Shock results. Anyone targeting you gets +1 to their Shoot role.
