Gothic Thrust Redux (and ECC T-shirts)

John (and the rest of the List)

Thanks again for the great art work on the GZG-ECC III T shirts.
The T shirts were very well done. I believe some are still available. You'd
have to ask Nick Caldwell.

I can e-mail you the current SSD sheets, but they are slightly
out of date after the modifications that Jim Bell suggested for
the torpedo systems and the fighter/bomber ordnance.

The variant has definitely improved greatly since Mark Seifert tried the rules
at a convention many months ago. It's worth a second look, Mark.

Post ECC thoughts.... (yes I can still think clearly.)

My thoughts on the Gothic nova cannon is to take into account the quality of
the ship's crew for accurate placement of the template.

Before ship movement, indicate a vector and distance from the firing ship for
the Nova blast. Place the template at the location specified and make a
Leadership roll. A successful roll maintains the template placement. An
unsuccessful roll deviates the template randomly proportionally to the amount
of
the failure.  (Say, 1-3 cm per missed number....)

How does this sound, Jim or Tom?

That's great to hear. The shirt printer was supposed to send me some, but sent
A) the wrong shirts, and B) the wrong size. I can't wait to see how they
turned out.

Thanks for the kind words, btw...

Thanks!

I hate to say it, but MY reason for using Gothic ships is they're SO fast and
easy to paint up, and these days, that's a BIG factor.

I still prefer the look of my FSE and NAC ships on the table...but they take
longer to finish off.
