Subject: Re: [ARCHIVES] Overhaul complete
While we're on the topic of FT PBEM, I've found that I've sorely missed
Indy's B5 games and deeply regret that the Man-Kra'vak Wars scenario
didn't finish (I had a strikeboat swarm behind the Hu'man capital ships,
on the same vector and in range).
To that end I'm putting together a list of players and studying the
vector movement spereadsheet.
I'll be running a Narn-Centauri fleet engagement, using FTFB rules and
my B5 conversions
http://imperialdispatches.editthispage.com/fullthrust.
Scenario details aren't decided yet, but will likely be a Centauri raid
on a Narn outpost near a gas giant.
Any interest ?
