FT/DS/SG questions

Some questions for the list on all 3 games:

1.Does anyone remember a series of sci-fi books published circa 1980 by
Crown Publishers (UK)
and Crescent publ.(USA) with the following titles:
Spaceships
Great Space Battles
Aliens in Space--isbn# 0-517-29223-8--only one I can find--in local
library
Settlers in Space
Worlds at War
--these books were part of the Galactic Encounters
series;reason I ask is I would like to get these books if possible,for
they are a treasure trove of scenario ideas for all 3 games;if anyone
can help I would appreciate it---email off list ok.
I wont waste bandwidth with plot descriptions,but if curious i will
provide details.

  Has anyone read "Battlefields Beyond Tomorrow"?
It is sci-fi war stories by 25 authors;again great scenario potential.It
is published by Bonanza Books,NY;isbn# 0-517-64105-4.
Am working on idea for DS2 concerning infantry that can teleport
in,surprise attack,teleport out--finally defeated by use of battlefield
computers detecting patterns and feeding info to friendlies on where to
target weapons ("turn right 45 degrees and fire n 2 seconds")--David
Drake had a similar story in one of his books. This book has one of his
stories in it--that is how I found out about him.

This leads to my next question---is the Xenology center off the web? i
linked to it through Brian Bell's site a few days ago,but now get
message "xoom.com member page not found." Anyone know where I can find
it again? Would like to post my teleport rules when worked out....

Last,what does the list sayeth on using some of the SG2 infantry rules
for DS2 (i.e. which rules are compatible,in your opinion?) LOVE the
"last stand" rule and wish to use it,as well as Supression rules.
Please provide feedback on this.........

I know this is long post,but I have had these questions for a few days
and know that everyone on this list is most helpful;any
help/feedback/ideas would be greatly appreciated--feel free to email me
off list,too.Thanks!
