Yesterday I bought it, print, and start to read. For the first look glance it's amazing! Great work David! Thanks. :-)
Tonight I will try some simulations!

Some questions:
3e Mass Combat has a rule to add missile weapons to troops usually without them. I cannot find such a rule. Is that deliberate ? If I want MedInf or HvCav with crossbows, what do I do ? Would this just add F to class and increase costs (and how much ?), or also raise TS ? Flying Cavalry is Air, F but not Rec. Is that deliberate ? I would consider that to be one of the first jobs for it. Especially as both Flying Infantry and Flying Mages are Rec. If I add it, would that raise costs ? How much ? Any ideas how much TS magical flying ships might have ? For fantasy races we have only Ogres. How was TS 8 calculated ? Is there some formula behind this as it was the case in 3e ? |

(or an extra couple of lists of armies in a pyramid article for things that got left out and those of us that lack imagination. I just want to see a Dalek v. Sontaran v. Cyberman throw down. (given the results from canary wharf the cybermen are not much more effective than kittens) |

After roughly reading through it I must say that I really like what's in there! :)
Question to the chapter about sieges: There are some sample values for Defense Boni but I'd really like to have a table with some more specific entries for the most common fortifications along with their $-costs and their typical building time. Is there something like this available or planned? Would be very nice if a player decides to fortify an position himself, or even when anyone only asks about the possibilities / costs of such an operation. (to estimate if the results are worth the costs and if it can be done in time) |

[2] Rec primarily refers primarily to ability to sneak about on the ground (cf. the definition referring to land units) something flying cavalry can't do, esp. since (unlike some high-tech vehicle recon elements) it lacks dismount troops and sensors. Note that Air superiority *does* give a bonus for the reconnaissance contest, so having flying cav will give you a big advantage. The flying infantry and mages are just better for sneaking about... [3] Magical flying ships should be treated as an airship or flying leviathan. [4] "Ogres" is not a specific racial category (e.g., DF Ogres) but a general term that can represent lots of different humanoid monster races depending on the quality and equipment level. When coupled with Beasts, Giant Monsters, Flying Infantry you can actually represent many races. [5] TS for Ogres was calculated the same way I calculated all other numbers, i.e., based on analysis of their fighting capability, a few mathematical formula, and some playtesting to see what worked.

I don't think SJ Games has done a tactical figure wargame for GURPS, perhaps due the troubles with Hot Lead (I did the brief "Arm of Decision" rules for GURPS Traveller back in 2000, but that's about it.).

The example is simplified. We can assume poor Sir Richard made his roll... TS of demonics: Depends on the demon quality. As per rules you take Flying Infantry (which explictly covers demons) or another fantasy type: flying mages, ogres, beasts, whatever gives an appropriate statistic. Then you modify them as needed - either with improved Troop quality or with Super Soldier as appropriate. For example, a balrog is probably a Giant with the highest Troop Quality and the Hero element or Super Soldier options.
