Re: FTIII: A Plea to End "Me Too" Firing.

Some of my input:  I don't think that 'chits' work very well in table
top
games.	It adds another longer step to a possible already long game.  I
like the dirt side and star grunt books mainly for ideas but the accual
game workings didn't work for our group (here in Houston, Texas, USA)

Idea: if you want to randomize firing order try a table of all ships
with
numbers along side;  roll dice and look up the coorisponding number to
choose a ship.

Or: somthing we tryed was having all ship relative to each other.  (a
command order if you will)  a command ship was the first to have the
opption to fire next would be the either 1) the closest ships or 2) the
next in command ships.	 firing order would carry on down through a
chain
(chain of command) like as the orders were passed on.

Basicly the reason chits are a pain is .. the less there is to keep
track
of the better.

let me know
