[FT] AAR -- Cygnus Fleet Proving Exercise

For the record, Fleet Random Effect had 10 Class 6 beams and 2 class 5 beams
all told. My thanks to Brian and the other players for a long and enjoyable
game. One lesson I take away from the Cygnus game is the power of superior
range in Vector games (another reason I'm happy vector is optional rather than
standard). I don't think my fleet would have fared nearly as well in a
Cinematic game (even with a 3-arc redesign). My fleet would also have
not
done well with a lower total point value. The _massed_ class 6's were
essential to do any kind of significant damage at ranges above 48".
