Re: [GZG] FTverse colinies

I was actually thinking of their efforts to build the Lavi, but the
Mirage applies too. I forgot about those patrol boats! :)

Yeah, I've actually spent much of this semester thinking about these
questions-- especially getting the political, organizational and
logistical elements straight and distilling them into rules. The
military stuff is fun, but I can't say I have a tenth of the knowledge
that some of the people on this board have; but on the macro-level
stuff, I might be able to add something to the conversation. I'll try
to post something to a web page when I get it into a manageable form.

If I create a "politician" unit, we'll all need more Green-3 counters.
