Subject: A Kids game question for the teeming masses..

I will post it this weekend on my own Site, complete with Color counters
suitable for Adhesion to Cardstock.

I have a couple format questions. I am questioning the Wisdom of using the
Star Wars counters and am contemplating simply Making two Fleet sets composed
of representative ship types.

Would you all prefer using Star Wars or Original Artwork from my Archives
(They are quite good, IMHO <ha!>)?

Contents will be:

There will be Simple Turn templates (BIG TURN, and SMALL TURN, respectively)
There will be damage markers to place on your ship counters (Big red
Explosions with Accrued damage boldly in the middle-My Son applied them
to my Mon Cal cruiser with great relish! "Boy, Dad i sure am pounding him up
good!!")

A simple 1 Page rulesheet.
Simple 6" range/movement ruler
MAYBE a provisional point system, but you may be stuck with the "This seems
about right" approach

Unless you currently own the copyright to these Star Wars images, it would
probably be for the best if you used your own original artwork. Just make a
note, beside each one, saying what image is like which Star Wars starship.

Since you're not going to get to it tonight, you bum:), I'm going to have
to invent DS2-Lite for Micro Machines instead.  Since I don't have the
DS2 systen down yet anyway, this should be interesting. If the results warrant
it, I'll publish here.
