I guess I rather walked into this one. I hope no one thought I was
being overly harsh in bringing up the GZG background like I did. I
guess Jon T. (or Steve Blease?) has done alright with the Kra'Vak,
leaving them rather mysterious, as well as pointing people toward
the usual SF cliche that drives the GZG games. That's good enough
for a war game.
