Re: Full Thrust 3 rules

Phillip,

We played several games using ships right out of the new fleet book.  We
came to
exacly the oposite conclusion.	We found that a group of smaller ships
can mob a
large one.  Smaller ships are marginally more efficient in points per
firepower.
Although the large ship will probably kill a number of the little guys,
if they
stick to it, they should win.
