I wonder if GZG is planning any kind of tactics manual in the style of the
ones for B5Wars and SFB? It would be helpful to a lot of people and I think
they'd pay for it.

A year or so ago I had compiled a gathering of mail messages posted here on
the list as well as stuff from people's personal experiences in playing and
put together a rough (very!) online tactics manual.

Unfortunately it seems to have disappeared.  :-(

Fortunately, I still have all the individual messages and notes from the 'real
life' play sessions. Now all I need to do is find
time to REcompile everything again...  :-/

(btw, I still pick off stuff from the list and squirrel it away for this
tactics manual as my plan was to continually update it
as new tactics were developed - such as all the Sa'vasku stuff -
so when I *do* get time again...)

Well, I for one would have a few desireable tactics among them might be:

How to protect yourself from MT missiles How to protect yourself from Salvo
Missiles How to protect yourself from Fighters General tips on maneuvering How
to figure out what range you want to be from various opponents Fighting the
Savasku Fighting the Phalons Fighting the Kra'vak How to hit the enemy with
missiles or other ordinance.

and so on.

I'm getting the hang of some of this stuff, but it would be nice if you could
get a good minimal set of information on what the general strategies are.
