It was a good time, I also introduced a new player whom I think will be
picking up the game.  I suspect that some of the 'lurkers' might also
think about it.  It is a good compliment when you can have a new player
introduced to the game in a few minutes and half way through he no
longer
needs any help with the rules!

Thanks for the kind word on the Sa'Vasku (the bugs make good bugs I
guess!)  They were actually incredibly easy to make and even easier to
paint!	I was surprised they turned out so well.  If anyone would like
I'll
e-mail them how they were made.

By the way Brian, I ended up making a bunch of Destroyer/Frigate class
ships (as well as bunch of missiles) when I got back home.  We shall
have
to play again, perhaps Marcon?	We could take the Sa'Vasku rules out for
a
spin!

Hope your wife didn't get to ticked at you for being late!  All should
know that Brian probably made great sacrifices for FT that night!
