The first combat has been played, against weak opposition. They took down the defences with ship's weaponry, then landed their robot Marines. Everyone had something to do, and it played reasonably well.I've just started running a space navy game that has not had any combat yet, but I expect at least half the campaign's fighting to be ship-to-ship. ...
The system is GURPS Spaceships, whose combat system is simple and stresses giving as many of the bridge crew as possible stuff to do. We'll see how well it works.
