Frag Trek - Borg Assimilation
Frag Trek Borg
Assimilation is an expansion to Frag Trek rather than a stand-alone variant, so
you will require the Frag Trek rules and cards in order to play. Gameplay is
similar in nature to Bug Hunt (for anyone who has seen those rules), but due to
the differing nature of the enemies faced the two games should play quite
differently.
Game play basics
Each player will have a standard
Frag Trek character which will be spawned in the normal manner at the start of
the game. Once all player characters have spawned, a fixed number of Borg will
also be spawned onto the map.
On every following turn, each player will
move/fire their own character, attempting to Frag as many Borg as they can.
They will then also play a random number of the available Borg characters,
attempting to Assimilate or just plain hinder their Federation 'colleagues'.
Points will be scored for anyone that you Frag during your turn, whether it is
a Borg killed by your character, or another character killed by a
Borg.
Fragged Borg will be respawned during a specific phase of each
turn whilst Fragged players will be removed from the map and respawn as per the
standard rules. Additionally however, whenever a player is Fragged, a new Borg
drone is left in their place (obviously up to a practical limit!).
Along
the way, the Borg will gradually adapt to the weapons that you use against
them, so you may find your beloved Heavy Photon Rifle suddenly become entirely
worthless.

is still the first draft of the Borg Assimilation rules, so they may be amended

Borg Miniatures
As yet I've not been able
find any actual Borg miniatures anywhere, so at the moment I use some Games
Workshop Imperial Servitors that I had. I've repainted them to look a little
more Borg and they work pretty well. They are a bit 'chunky' compared to the
Star Fleet figures, but they work OK.

And
yes, I know my painting is not exactly great, but the figures still get the job
done.
