SYNOPSIS ORANJISTAN 2011

Welcome to my parallel universe. The year is 2011.
Oranjistan has been a colonial battle ground through out modern history, forced to maintain a mostly feudal society. It shares a border with its hereditary tribal enemy Iranistan.
The village of Kahjd is on this border.
Kahjd is run by Abd el Kahjd. Kajhd is known for its robust Poppies. Since a UFO crashed nearby the poppies have mutated in color and potency. Another by product of the crash are Giant Ants. The locals have taken this in stride incorporating the Ants into their diet, even staging Ant Fights.
The Red Skull or one of his clones is still lurking about in the hills having split off from the main ODESSA enclave.
Groups of Grey Aliens have been spotted wandering about. They appear to be herding Dinosaurs, and are presumed stranded.
The US Marines are the current UN Peace Keepers. Their activities have been hampered by strict rules of engagement, or nonengagement, and the presence of Media 7.
A Media 7 crew is currently covering Medical assistance and care being provided by Aid workers to civilians in the contested border zone. They are accompanied by a trigger happy security team.
Enjoy your visit.
The 5 sides were:
UN Peace Keepers
The Red Skull
Iranistan
Mudjhadden
Grey Aliens

NOTE re USE ME mechanics, i added in/ tweaked a couple things such as adding an option to move twice at full distance but incur a +1 if shot at.
CO can pass an order on to a subordinate once per turn as an action roll -vs- ELAN.
broke hunker down into 2 separate actions worth +1 each.
+ of course whatever else is in the above stuff. That is if you've read this far.
I playtested using Star Grunt and USE ME. i was surprised they played out much the same. you can move faster in SG, and I would probably do the run gets you +1 per move action to make it more tempting.
USE ME made for a much more relaxed game and less of a mental exercise with the math and shifts.
