some of these are pretty cool. this would be a useful adjunct to more
sophisticated ft scenario sets. generators. we could recycle these ideas into
some of those scenario cards.

looking at 'jump point' (where red is attacking blue's fleet as it forms up),
blue rolls each turn for the number of arriving squadrons. on a 1, 2 or 3 he
gets none, on a 4 or 5 he gets one and on a 6 he gets two. hmm.
1,2,3->0;4,5->1;6->2. now where have i seen that mechanic before ...
methinks i spy an FT guy at work within the Evil Empire!

Noting the concern for generating unbalanced scenarios for the wargame table I
have found one way to offset the whines of the losers. Always play the game
twice, switching sides for the next game, then you can crow or whine as the
case may be, but you have some useful raw data for figuring out who won.

Just to point out (he said, admittedly somewhat miffed ^_- ) both the
scenarios page and the subplots page at the geocities site have been up at my
Space Fleet website for a couple years. Currently, the page is at:

     The concept has been around for a long time.   I used it 15
years age on a Traveller campaign.

The best tenet I have seen in a long time. If a lot more people did this, the
gaming world would be a better place to play in (and more fun:)).
