Re: Babylon5 Battles?

There seems to be a common misconception here.	There are going to be
*TWO* Babylon % space combat games published.

Agents of Gaming is publishing Babylon Wars, which looks to be much more
detailed than Full Thrust.

Chamelion Electric (the makers of the RPG) have gotten the Full Thrust
author to do a set of ship to ship rules for the RPG which are supposed
to
be very Full Trust like, and much more tied to the RPG elements.

These are two totally seperate and independent projects.
