This fits much more with my own thinking about FT campaigns than the
"grand
imperial strategic" type does; it also gives possibilities for all sorts
of
fun with random events and interference from higher command levels - you
might get some replacements coming in, but equally NavFltCom might
suddenly
decide that they need to steal one of YOUR cruiser squadrons to
reinforce
someone else's sector...
This sort of setup will, I think, give a lot of fun without some of the
more complex bits often discussed for campaign games; how about everyone
else?
