Stargrunt II is the small-unit infantry companion to Dirtside II, using 15mm or 25mm miniatures and units up to reinforced platoon in size; one miniature represents one trooper or vehicle with a ground scale of one inch = 10m. Stargrunt uses a later version of the FMA system, scaled for man-to-man infantry firefights with corresponding increase in detail while retaining Dirtside's fast-play features.

Like Dirtside, Stargrunt can be adapted to the Traveller universe; the military and technological assumptions are not that different between GZG's and GDW's universe designs. However, adaptation is a bit more elaborate due to the finer scale (man-to-man, weapon-to-weapon) bringing out what differences there are.

For this reason, Stargrunt will be analyzed and adapted at a later date. For now, we have a few platoon- and company-level TO&Es as filler.
