This Saturday the local HMGS-South group played a Starship Troopers game. Special Forces troops, Mobile Infantry and Chicken-hawks escort a scientist and a psyker into underground tunnels to capture a Brain Bug. Opposition was initially light but the psyker warned of a trap. Undeterred, the force pressed on. Sudden mass attacks of bugs forced the dropships to leave the atmosphere. The infantry fought their way to the Brain Bug, but were surrounded by bugs. Part II will be played out as a future game.
