I once, many many years ago, ran a combined Spelljammer/War Captains 
Guide and Battlesystem (2nd. edition) game at a Gen Con UK (I cannot, 
for the life of me, remember which). This was one of the old 
Eurolog-oraganised Battlesystem games.

The game started in Spelljammer, using the War Captains hex-map, with 
each player getting a small fleet. There was an asteroid at the centre 
of the map, the objective was for the players to get their troop 
transports to the asteroid. Oh, and one 'fleet' was a single Space 
Marauder!

Did I mention that I was using the optional 3D rules from War 
Captains.

After getting their transports to the asteroid, we switch to another 
map, representing the surface of the asteroid, where the various 
forces fought it out using the Battlesystem rules and 6mm figures.

Yes, I did end up feeling really rather ill running that lot! But 
everyone had fun.
