That's why I dislike the broken method of meeting engagements in most 
Space battles. I've run a few scenarios with the map automatically 
scrolling at start or with both forces having nearly common vectors 
vs opposing vectors. I'd very much like to do a Fleet Thrust system 
where you move task groups around a map that yields you a set up for 
your actual space battle. Unfortunately, my work, Military 
Vehicle/re-enacting hobbies and home ownership tasks have all but 
totally occluded my Gaming hobby.

Speaking of which, does anyone on the list have any experience with 
800 Series 5 ton trucks? I might be buying that as my next MV. It'l 
be useful as a home truck and I'd so be able to crush all the other 
pickups in the neighborhood.
