It's pretty good stuff. A bit heavyweight, but it _is_ designed to be
played as a stand-alone game rather than just a front-end to a tactical
game (it has its own large-scale tactical resolution system). It's
mostly quite generic though it does rely on the idea of "jump lanes"
(that limit both where you can go and how many ships you can move at
once) rather than allowing free movement. Definitely worth a look, I'd
say; it's what I'm likely to use if I ever run another campaign.

There's an unofficial tie-in package on the VBAM yahoogroup site - which
I believe uses some of the battle setup from my (and hence Reason's)
system. :-)
