I can...Bit of a B5 fanatic.  

Its an awful pity they didn't just focus on the battle.  That was an
awful
lot of fx to waste on a throwaway episode.  I didn't think it worked.  I
managed to see the B5 prequel film in Belfast a couple of months ago.
There were a hell of a lot more Earth force ships involved than I
remember.
 Does anyone have an idea of how we might simulate this little battle? 
It
could really lend itself to a multiplayer PBEM game.  Different
commanders
in different sectors.  Jon (T) did you ever come up with any scenarios
for
this using EFSB rules?
