Re: [FT]Twilight Imperium Campaigns [was: campign blues]

I think a thousand is prolly way toooooo much...remember that we have to
play
out these battle with minitures later :)
I'd have to look at the costs for ships agian, but if i remember right a
dreadnought is 10 credits, so my thinking went along the lines of 500 FT
points
for a dreadnought, thus 50 points for 1 credit.
we would also have to come up with a R&D system to incorporate the
weapons and
such from full thrust.

sounds like a fun game though
