1) Donald (I believe) described Star of the Gaurdians by MAG FORCE 7.
Sounds
a lot like the card game MAG BLAST I just played - your centre flagship
is
surrounded by 4 zones, and you can only attack other players through
those
zones. Card game. Fun, but far longer (with wiley players) than the
rules
suggest (we had 5 players, should have taken 50 mins, took 3 hours). 

2) Tartans - Some crazy plan on how to paint Tartan. I get how you made
the
yellow lines (though I fear you'd scrape through to red?) but how did
you
get down to the Red with the scalpel without digging down to metal? How
thick were the paint layers? This must have taken a long time to do.

3) Anyone make a some NAC troops in Kilts and Balmorals with standard
NAC
ARs? We need some highland units. 

4) Beth, if I see be-kilted Daleks sporting some god-awful
wrong-coloured
plaid with a non-symetric warp and weft, I'm sending the Narns but I'm
issuing them Klingon pain-sticks instead of just bats!

5) Allan, I think you'll find that the large tartan kilt/wrap people in
the
highlands used to wear was referred to as "the Great Plaid". There are
many
references to Plaids throughout Scots history. I've got a great book
about
this stuff which I will send you information on - well worth the minor
expense. As an aside: One of the things most people don't realize about
Tartan is it must have the same warp and weft and you have to be able to
run
a mirror down it in several axes. Otherwise it isn't "proper". 

6) THIS POINT INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.
