I have always wanted to see a full scale traditional Strategic/Operational level wargame based on either a Classic Klingon /Federation war or later a Dominion War wargame. So I thought I would just start a thread and see what idea I can get.
The scale would be of course be massive but the map would be dining room table size perhaps 4x5 ft and cover the entire region which the Dominion War covered including Earth. Open for other points of map dimensions (for instance should the Klingon & Romulan Empires have space on the map or just entry/exit areas?)
Counters would represent Starship Wings, Individual notable ships, Starbases/Stardocks, Ground Force Units (perhaps Regiments?) and Planetary Orbital Defense Systems.
Active powers would be Federation, Klingon, Cardassians, Dominion, Romulans and Breen with rules for Feringi, Gorn, Bajoran, and Tholian intervention.
Sequence of play would be a simple Movement/Combat/Build(repair)/Startegic movement with an initiative based activation method for each fleet (similar to the Great Campaigns of the Civil War Series). Supply would of curcial importance forcing the players to fight to control or keep important strategic spots such Starbases and certain star systems. Thus while most of the map would be "free and open" for movment most units would be concentrated in small areas and ready for quick movement to other areas.
Combat would be resolved by a method which would be simple and/or allow RPG style battles allowing the game to be a generator for combat for a typical Dominion War RPG Series.
Anybody with thoughts, idea or comments?
