Thats debatable, see the FAQ. Plus all the 'real' fighter rules are in
MT.

Are the Brigade ships balanced though Tony?

On building fleets have you pointed John at the Gencon/ECC tournament
rules they have all ready been playtested and Gencon/ECC players
may have some observations to add. I'd also add some defense against
the known cheese tactics.

Very good idea though and I hope to take part if my SFSFW
membership comes through this year (sometime - when's the next Rag out?)
