WE have to pay £40, which is what $60. :(.

Let me know what you get something. I played my first game of BFG last
night. 
Some of it is a little table heavy - the battery fire is a little too 
complicated IMO - but it's generally a nice system, which is places is 
startlingly similar to Another Game We Know Well. We are going to pinch
the 
scenario system for our FT games and the campaign system possibly too.

You don't have copyright over the name 'Nova Cannon' do you Jon? There
was 
one in FT I think.

Bah. I had two shots with an NC last night and both missed wildly.
That's 
life. I like their 'dumb' torp rules. No real guidance involved but it
really 
does encourage a torp equipped ship to get behind an enemy. We did
wonder 
about fighters though, they seemed far too easy to kill.
