Re: EFSB

Jim:
There has been a pretty good discussion on B5 Wars on rec.games.board
and
rec.games.miniatures.misc. You can search old newsgroup postings, if you
have web access, from http://www.dejanews.com or
http://www.reference.com,
though Deja News seems to have archives going back further. Try
individual
searches with B5 and Babylon.

Quick skinny on it is basically that it's put out by folks that have
done
Star Fleet Battles extensions, that this seems better, as well as more
tailored to B5. Still on hexes. Least, it hasn't developed a rule set
worthy of a lawyer/solicitor's office... (Hmm.... barristers would have
more books, right?)

For the sake of those of us not flush enough to buy both, could you give
a
rundown of how B5 Wars works? I've yet to meet anyone who owns, let
alone
plays it....
