In a message dated 98-10-10 11:45:55 EDT, you write:
<< Attacker Card Additions:
A11: "Seizing The Advantage"
Mission Parameters: Command has obtained information of the enemy
forces in
the target system. The Defenders set up first in the center of the
table,
and are at speed 5. The Attacker may then set up on the table side of
his
choice. Select another Attack Mission Card.
A12: "Precision Strike"
Mission Parameters: Command has decided you MUST destroy the most
massive
ship in the enemy's fleet that you are now encountering. If two or more
enemy ships meet this criteria (eg, two or more are the same Mass and
are
the most massive ones before you), choose one as your Primary Target
(the
one you must destroy). Select another Attack Mission Card.
A13: "Hunter, Prey"
Mission Parameters: BuShips has installed on one of your ships (of your
choice) an experimental cloadking device (replace sufficient systems on
your ship to equal 10% of the ship's Mass for the Cloaking Device). The
ship may start the scenario cloaked, but it must predetermine any/ALL
movement and the turn it will uncloak prior to the start of Turn 1 (but
after your opponent sets up). Select another Attack Mission Card.
Defender Card Additions:
D11: "Knowledge Is Power"
Mission Parameters: Command let it slip to the enemy information on the
composition of your forces - but not ALL of your forces. You must set
up
first, but may withhold upwards of 1/3 of your forces. These will enter
the field of battle on Turn 3 from the tableside of your choice. Select
another Defense Mission Card.
D12: "Precision Strike"
Mission Parameters: Command has issued your fleet orders which in
effect
translate to the fact you must destroy the 2nd most massive ship in the
enemy's fleet which has just entered the system.If two or more enemy
ships
meet this criteria (eg, two or more are the same Mass and are the most
massive ones before you), choose one as your Primary Target (the one
you
must destroy). Select another Defense Mission Card.
D13: "Hunter, Prey"
Mission Parameters: (this is identical to A13 above) Select another
Defense
Mission Card.

Interesting, I'll see what I can do about puting this in a program to be
posted to the list.
Thanks
