Re: [FT] Derek's EW

G'day,

I don't think that was ever Derek's intention, but just as an aside
(especially seeings as GDW is defunct) what is the process of
acknowledging
rule debt in games? As far as I can see you've got the complete spectrum
from Piquet which states were its debts lie vs the latest unmentionable
empire's effort (have fun playing spot the rule). Anyway just curious.

I guess you mean per side here? Derek did originally have until you fail
per ship, but that degenrated into Beth rolls and fails (obviously) then
Derek rolls, rolls, rolls... Beth goes off and gets a drink, walks the
dog,
does the laundry.... so the number of FC became a way of putting a lid
on
the process.

Thanks for the feedback
