Subject: FT scenarios at ECC

textfilter: chose text/plain from a multipart/alternative

Time Line (GM Vince Johnston) Battle of Cormorant Moon (Star Trek themed FT,
GM: Jon Davis, described in the AAR I posted)
Full Speed: War at Sea (not so space-ish, GM: Scott Bishop)
Full Impulse: Macrotures (full thrust variant, GM: Scott bishop) The Coming of
Shadows (EFSB which has roots in FT, GM: Aaron Newman) High Value Target
(Stargate themed FT, GM: Tom B (me), described in the AAR I posted) Super Mega
Hyper Mecha Smackdown (Full Thrust variant, GM: Martin Connell) The Gauntlet
(Full Thrust, Star Wars themed, GM: Carl Scheu)

Little blurbs exist for most of these on the ECC website. AARs I suppose may
get posted by those who ran or played in them.

If anyone is interested in my Stargate FT-variant designs, rules and
SSDs, I can make them available if you drop me an email.

PS: Bonus points for Damond for correctly identifying the Kaufman Manouver.
It could beat formations 2x - 3x its point value because it could fire
proximity torpedos in large salvos every 2nd round and they had good hit
numbers from 13-30 hexes range and a decent damage while the Federation
ships could still move about 12-16 hexes backward while powering
shields. The enemy couldn't close enough range most times to bring their guns
into good damage dealing range because they'd get smashed up in the attempt.

PPS: Captain Kosnett of the Kongo was the favourite fiction source in
Captain's Log and appeared in scenarios. he may eventually have been Commodore
or Admiral Kosnett. Even more trivial, the Kongo was in Jon D's friday night
battle, so naturally I named the captain Kosnett (he was the one sleeping with
all of his bridge crew and the engineering department as the turns went on,
taking a page from Admiral James"Himbo" Kirk).
