[QUOTE="cowpie, post: 8470867, member: 98840"] In my military game, it was kind of a structured RP "Kriegspiel" which I modeled after the way more complicated RPG "Burning Empires". The PCs were conducting an operation against an enemy forces that functioned as "fronts" from Apocalypse World. The players had scouts they could send out to gather intelligence, play out scenes, then make military moves over the course of operational turns. The enemy had a plan which could react to the players' decisions. RP adventures took place during key events, and the results would affect the success or failure of the overall military campaign. It was hard to run, but fun. I have done some mercenary one-shots, but those were novelty one-off sessions that put the PCs in situations with unusual sci-fi encounters -- the military operations weren't always the main focus of play. Kind of like a game of Aliens, the PCs are marines, but it's really about the horror/alien situation they're in. [/QUOTE]
