OK.

"IN Death Ground" is set in the Starfire universe, and the ECM suite
used
by both sides is the ECM3 I mentioned above. I was one of the
play-testers
for the Starfire scenario monster which covers the war...

To me the difference between the Harrington books (which I read, but
don't
game) and the Starfire books (which I use as background stuff in
Starfire
design work) is blindingly obvious; I tend to forget that it isn't so
for
others :-(
