[FT] Activations & MASS

Here's an idea:

At the beginning of any game, determine the largest (MASS) ship of either
force. With each activation, a player can activate any number of ships so long
as the total is under the set figure.

1) This avoids arbitrary class or MASS distinctions that encourage design
abuse. 2) It gives smaller ships a small leg up on the competition.

I like it. And it encourages you to keep up on your arithmetic. "Let's see,
there's a Jeanne d'Arc, so I can shoot with this frigate, that cruiser, that's
83, this cruiser is 88, that's...ah...171 total, hm, these strike boats are
eight each times 6 is 48 plus, what did I say, 171? Or was it 161? 171 plus 48
is...was it that cruiser or this one? Drat."

No, really, I do think it's a good idea, might just need to figure

posted anywhere?

Thanks,

Yes! That would be one of the ones I was interested in seeing. The others were
mainly your very, very nicely painted FSE ships.

I'll be getting a digital camera early next week, and will then be able to
provide all sorts of pictures for any interested parties.

Great! I'm looking forward to seeing them.
