I keep meaning to try SV.

>Here's another one for you... what's the usual game size limits that
most people play with? Do most people go by a set amount of mass or
cost? or do you spend a few minutes going back and forth trying to
determine what everyone considers to be balanced forces?

If I do it, we use CPV.  If Josh does it, we use NPV and I try to make
sure we have comparable ship sizes.  We usually don't use point for
victory determination, so we don't generally use uneven forces. If we
did, we'd say to multiply VP of the smaller force by the square of the
ratio--eg if you have a 1300 CPV fleet squaring off against a 900,
then (1300/900)^2 = 2.08, so the the 900pt force would multiply its
final score by 2.

(Josh wishes to point out that "balanced" games are inherently
unbalanced in my favor, as I have some evil control over the dice--for
instance, I've won initiative on every turn but one of the last three
games, and that one was at extreme range with only a point or so of
damage done by either side.  This is an absurd accusation, of course,
so I'll merely reply with a "Baa!".  And perhaps "Fnord.")
