Heh, the first time we played FT the golf tee's were the ships. Whole
tee's
for the capitols, tee's less the flared section were cruisers, and the
pointy end plus about 1/2 of shaft were escorts. All based on GW flight
stands. A fun game, and the tee's made great ships, the lack of detail
gave
a sense of massiveness, and they were cheap!
