On p. 88, a few lines below "Desinged and written by: Robert Glass"
you'll
find the following:
"We would like to thank the following playtesters and any whom we may
have
missed for their contributions to producing the game:"
and then a list which includes Michael Llaneza in the second column
and
Matthew Seidl in the fifth column.
I really wasn't taking a shot at these guys, just expressing ( in an
oblique
fashion ) my belief that you two could explain things much better than
the
author, Robert Glass, did.
I have been through some playtest experiences (B5Wars and Fleet Books I
& II
most directly), so I know a bit about how errors slip through. Still, I
find
it hard to believe that many errors could slip through unless the
playtesters were either flooded with info or ignored when the final
draft
was produced (and I know B5Wars was improved by playtest, so I have to
assume Fleet Action was, too).
