This is the first draft of my rules for using Squats in Space Crusade they need a bit more work but are ready for play testing. The weapon options are based on the Squat miniatures that used to be available in the early 90s. I hope you enjoy play testing these rules if you get a chance, they are going to need at least 2 more equipment cards so any feed-back thoughts or ideas on that or the rest of the rules are welcomed.
