I I'm with Indy. ***THUD*** :-) A large battle with 2000 points per side can take two hours to process a turn. That's for a limited intelligence game with sensors and scanning. Two players with two or three cruisers on a side with full intelligence can be processed fairly quickly, but you won't be able to complete a game in a day. It could be done in a week.... at great expenditure of spouse and family points. > PBEM: SG2 or Dirtside It's doable, but it would be even slower than a FT game because of the phased nature of the rules. You could make orders contingent on the enemy's actions, but it could bog down. It would have to be a small game of either rules set.
