RE: FW: campaigns

DSII provides an excellent way of playing out the planetary actions, but
in a pure FT campaign, the "dirtside" actions need to be abstracted so
as to not slow down the game play. Each side could start with a certain
number of points (as for the ships). These ground troops could then be
moved around from system to system by transports. Of course, this could
lead to a referee requirement "to keep people honest."
