Subject: Starfleet Wars/FT Web Page
I am pleased to announce a web page dedicated to the conversion of
Starfleet Wars miniatures to Full Thrust stats. You are all invited to
stop by and take a look around. Comments are welcome.

Starfleet Wars from was my introduction to starship combat games back
in
the late 1970's. I really enjoyed the background and the miniatures
but
could not afford the miniatures back then. Thanks to Game Masters, the
miniatures are available once again. Full Thrust is a much better set
of
rules than the old Starfleet Wars rules so the page has FT stats for
almost all the minis with the rest on the way. Matthew Seidl did the
web
development and collaborated on the final designs. There are rules
modifications to fit the Starfleet Wars universe and I think we came up
with some fun variations (check out the Aquarians and how their cloak
works along with their special beam battery rules for example).
The Starfleet Wars universe is the setting of my first PBeM game, Deneb
Clash, and in a couple weeks, I will return with Vanguard Cruise. I
should be sending out a call for players in a couple weeks, please wait
until then to respond.
This is the first page set up by the 'M Collective', a group composed
of
myself (Dean Gundberg), Jim Bell, Mike Miserendino, and Matt Seidl who
have
in common FT and a desire for more miniatures. We plan to bring to the
Full
Thrust gaming community a number of interesting web pages and services.
Next up is a web page for the 'Space Dreadnought 3000' line of starship
miniatures from Pendraken Figures, a small company in the UK who has
created
6 fleets of miniature ships from fighters to massive base ships. We
are
scanning the final pictures now and should have everything up soon.
What
the M Collective does next, you will have to wait and see ;-)
