I called Geo-Hex directly and got the Fleet book directly.  Shipping was
very reasonable. (Just a little over the stamp cost to Priority 2-3 day
mail
it.)  Next time I'll ask for a box to be used.	(Can you say FOLDED in
my
mail box?)

>From now on I'm just going to deal with Geo-Hex directly where ever I
can.
The distributors told the store where I shop that the book did not
exist.
Period.  I'll bet they still do to this day.  When I talked to the
gentleman
at Geo-Hex when I ordered, I asked about the deal with the distribtors.
Now THAT'S a horror story.

I love the fleet book.	It proved to me that Full Thrust is going in the
direction I'm interested in.  Score another loyal follower!
