Really? I thought I'd seen several; I'll try to have a dig, maybe in the
list archives.
>and it was based on the WWII japanese fleet.
Fair's fair, the ships' names DO seem based more on the WWII fleet.
Plenty
of exceptions to note, of course. ;->=
Ok, my first impression was 'what monsters'! But, I've Chicken-Little'd
far
too often for you to take that on face value.
I was thinking, 'fear SML's and fighters much?' Must play as slow and
tight
as I.
However, I got to looking over the FB, and realized there are similar
fleets. My ESU's tend towards naked, but we're friends with the FSE, so
what do we have to worry, right? ;->=
You'd be surprised how cherished a modified Beijing/B can be. And how
wasted all those other fleets' PDS's can seem when facing an all gun or
defensive-fighter-only ESU gang.
>Note: Musashi BDN missing 2 screens from the SSD. TMF and NPV are
correct
>tho. I'll fix it over the weekend.
So, Samurai, Musashi, Shogun, and Akagi are the only ones with screens,
and
Musashi with two, right?
When you get to making the update, could you see about spliting the
SSD's
into two pages? I'm having trouble printing them out to see if I can get
some playtests going. Space between the SSD's would be nice, but getting
the images to printout in whole pieces is a higher priority for moi.
Also, I'm having trouble with the .sxc and .sxd format files. I'm sure
someone will tell me to download some software, but, assuming you have
no
objections to me looking at your campaign resources, do you have text
and
gif/jpeg/someimagefile files that I can use?
Now, wait for comments from someone capable; I was just filling time so
you
didn't feel ignored. ;=>=
