FT variations for Young People

You may just try using the basic rules, and then decide which optional rules
if any you guy's want to use, my son has had little problem with the rules
(less than some adults I play with). And actually prefers to use the fighter
rules and other optional rules. He also whips me
     regularly and is one of the more challenging opponents for FT/MT I
have had. Kids make excellent opponents if they can focus on the game as they
are not out to prove they are Admirals, or naval experts. They just want to
blow your fleet to space dust. And isn't that the way it is supposed to be?

Hi all,

I've been playing with FT, DSII, Ogre and other stuff, but only have my 11
year
old son to play with.  Pre-writting orders doesn't work. Measuring stuff
is not so clean so I've been using hex grids ( I know everyone here hates that
for miniatures, but it is 'simple'!).

Any one have 'young people' house rules that really work????

My son beats me with what we are doing, but it isn't that much fun for
me...
