Re: New FTJava Scenarios

Thanks for the clarification! I have no excuse other than laziness,  
since I have the FB1 pdf file on my computer.

This does underline the point that bases at least should have no A  
arc restriction in FTJava.

How big a tweak is it to:

a) Make bases capable of A-Arc fire at all times
b) Add in the Official optional rule as a FTJ game setting (which  
would make three possible game modes in all: 1) Aft arc fire always  
allowed; 2) Aft arc fire never allowed (except for no-thrust bases);  
and 3) Aft arc fire allowed if movement orders are "0".
