Actually, didn't Rayhawk run something small-scale and objective-oriented at
BricksWest? It's probably on his site...
I'd love to help, but I'm no good for a weekly match. I can brainstorm,
though. I'm already seeing a squads of space troopers deployed on a rescue
mission. :D
I think if you strip down the rule to simple move-and-shoot (and maybe a
turn-time limit) you should be able to greatly improve the speed of the
game. But I think an hour-game is really optimistic. :)
