It is JAG episode. "We the People" episode is the first episode of season two. Most of mission background taken from this episode.

While JAG is 'Meh', Catherine Bell was enough compensation to make it watchable.
However if you were talking about Seinfeld... there's an utterly crap show with no redeeming features.

Except the fact that tens of millions of people enjoyed it.

I know a few people who would say the same thing about Monty Python or Fawlty Towers. I cannot fathom that, but tastes, especially in humor, can vary wildly.

HEY PEOPLE.... please get back to the original topic. It sounds like a great idea for a game.

I agree. It is very much in the feel of the Original GDW projects for the players.

I second that. Nice work, rcaf-777.

Since you asked for feedback, here are a couple thoughts.

1. A money ransom isn't going to mean a whole lot in 2000. Gold might do the trick. Or, something a little more practical like food, ammo, fuel, would be worth more than cash.

2. The escort seems a little small. I get the idea about trying to be inconspicuous but that's a long drive and any "militia" or bandit group along the way would probably see the two-vehicle convoy as a prime target for a shake-down (or worse).

3. A gas bomb could imolate the very thing the baddies are trying to steal. Maybe spike strips and small arms only. The escorts would be totally outgunned.

Other than that, a nice, compact, solid adventure. Well done!

Rae said what I was going to say.

Money eh, so much paper, fuel yeah, arms and ammo sure.

Fire bombs on a parchement/paper product to risky.

And lastly,

I find scarey that you are able to name the title and where in the series the show is. That will cause me some distress


One other thing, the IOWA or Nebraska who whatever the flat state, they all look the same The force didn't have any support weapons, a SAW, a M60A1, or some old M1919 Brownings in 30-06 or converted to .308. Maybe some Mad Max type support vehicles, a tow truck that was armored and turning into a troop transport or combat recovery vehicle.

You could toss in some other groups, a larger marauder group, some Mexicans or Russians made it that far south, the Soux or the Pawnee or the Comanche going off trying to start their own country.

Also, which copy of the Declaration of Independence is it that got captured? There are 3 original copies.

Seconded. On all counts.
