No room for a glossary.  I assume that people will get these rules 
either because a FT player hands it to them (in which case they have a 
FT player handy), or because Jon includes it in a pack of FT ship minis 
(if they're buying ships, they'll likely know what 'aft' means).

I think "no aft fire" is a key aspect of FT tactics.

It's going to have all the *rules* on one page, though.

First off, this is FT LITE, not FT.  Second, I wouldn't add a system 
that doesn't have any use in this context (FTL, PDS).  I don't think 
armor adds enough difference to bother with.
  If I were going to add something, it would be PTorps.

I'm not sure what you mean by this.  Jon gave his approval and they're 
copyright GZG, not me.	They're not ready for distribution to the masses

until Adrian or someone fixes the graphics and (and makes an A4-size), 
but I'd imagine they'll be on gzg.com eventually.
