A rather different kettle of fish, though.

The Starfire books by Weber & White are based on the game scenarios
which later became the "Crusade" and "ISW-4" scenario modules. 

In spite of this, these novels play fast and loose - *very* loose -
with the Starfire game rules Weber wrote and White playtested Many of
the tricks described in the novels are flat contradictions of the game
rules :-( As for the assumptions they made about the Bugs' starship
designers... <shudder>
