Re: B5 Wars Distribution Problems

It's not that bad at all, actually. One thing I REALLY like about B5 
Wars is that it gives a ship a more complex feeling. It's not 
anywhere near as bad as SFB as far as record keeping and I like the 
individual feel of the toughness of separate systems on a ship and 
the ability to play really tactically with small numbers of ships. A 
fleet battle system, it's not. But we've done 10 capital ships plus 
6-8 fighter groups in a few hours. As opposed to the SFB 6-10 hour 
games....
