Vector Thrust Trick

Here's a little trick that I've found usefull for using the Vector
Movement
System.

Instead of using an arrow marker to show the direction of the ship's
movement vector, cut a 2 to 3 inch circle from a piece of card and draw
a
line across the diameter, through the center, with an arrowhead on one
end.

Place the circle under the base of your ship, with the arrow pointing in
the direction of movement. The circle is less likely to be accidentally
bumped during movement, and while moving the ship counter or miniature,
the
line is a much more accurate guide for direction than a counter at one
edge
of the base.

For what it's worth,
Schoon
