[GZG] Re: Full Sail?

["Daryl Lonnon" <dlonnon@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm th e guilty party who modified Mike's rules (I hope he didn't mind
too much).
I also attempted to beautify them somewhat.

The main changes I made were adding fires, wind, and terrain effects.

I never got a chance to playtest it, but I was going to add firing high vs.
firing low as well. (if you fire high, you roll your dice as beam dice versus
the sails, as with beam dice, you must pick which dice are attacking which
sails prior to any rolls). Off the top of my head, that should work.

The rules are located:

The stats for the 1st two releases of PoTSM ships are located here:
