Stuart,

    I nice review.  

    One question I had reading it is does the reroll of a '6' only occur
on '6's on the first roll or if another '6' is rolled is it counted as 2
and rolled yet again?

    Also, I believe I have spotted an omission on the control sheets.
The EA Shepherd Starfury Transport does not show any starfury squadons
being carried.	I wonder how many it can carry, 1 squadron?

    Last, I wonder why the EA liner and freighter were given weapons.
Personally, I would not give them any.	Also, I'd give the freighter
only on drive unit.  These are just minor points in what looks to be
a good game.

    Next I'd love to see control sheets for other ships, Drazi, Vree,
and of course the White Stars, Vorlon, and Shadow ships. :-)  Does
anyone know if there are plans for other source books to include these?
Of players will come up with their own unoffical ones soon.

Enjoy,
