Where xactly would the Sa'vasku be located? I had the impression they were
somewhere between human and kra'vak space.

Good job in any case.

I agree with Doug here. The Kra'vak are supposed to be encroaching on Human
space through a push from somewhere's "coreward". Nobody really knows where
their home system is. Heck it could be one parsec outside of known space, OR
they could already control the entire galaxy (admittedly doubful) and we're
just seeing their advanced units.

According to the B5 mailing list ( and my local game store), the "War of
Retribution: Atlas of the Narn-Cenatauri War" is out... along with 4 new
minis (2 Narn: Dag'Kar, Thentus & 2 Centauri: Altarian, Dargan).

I have also seen it at my local game store ATTACTIX. So it must have already
hit general release.

The K'V is ABOUT where the Kra'Vak are, and the S'V are where the Sa'Vasku
are, roughly. I didn't want to define where they were other than generally.

The rest of the sphere leaves room for other - how shall we say -
suprises <:-o

Amazing how the Russian economy which is only equivlent to Switzerlands in
size could have such an effect on world markets.

I think I can forget about that new pc now. That'll teach me to dabble in
equity.

B5 Wars holds little interest for me apart from the minuatures. Even then I'd
begrudge giving AOG any of my money considering the way they seem to have
abandoned customers in Europe. The latest update on their site is now telling
us that European availabilty is coming soon.

One interesting link from their site is the B5 ships painting page. Some very
nicely done ships. As well as lots of well designed Ship control sheets for
the EFSB.

which I have just finished and is a bitch to fit together though not as bad as
the G'Quan (I'll never build another, yuk). Apart from the Dragan the others
are all single piece models. The Bin'Tak goes together suprizingly well, the
Octruion is fiddly and a lot of filing and there does seem to be
a definate left/right side but you don't which is which until you try to
put it together. I'll get a Dragan next week and let you know how it goes. As
for the hexless system? Who cares? Besides B5Wars costs A$100 and the
supplement is about A$50. Given the way the Aussie dollar has fallen over the
last few days this probably means that they are worth 10 and 5 dollars
respectively anywhere else.

Perhaps the Russians really will bring down Western Capitalism.

Gosh-darned commies.
