Hi there,

> Thanks for the interest in the campaign

I'm always interested in how groups play campaigns - there are so many
different styles and ideas.

> We are using the stealth rules Inspired by the New Israeli playtest

> The range band reduction works well.

As a small plug, to my now dead campaign (it ran for a whole year -
which I think was pretty good going), if you want to use any of it be my guest
(though I guess your group won't be interested in the resources rules). I did
write up some nicely formatted summaries, especially of
all the weapon systems - including stealth and decoys etc:

and the playtest fighter rules (no idea where they currently stand though, I
believe there was another idea posted):

I don't really contribute to the list, but I still read it every now and
then. I did spend such a long time writing all that stuff up - makes me
feel better if other people find it useful/use it.

Yeah, my group liked the logistics stuff more - in fact, to be honest we
designed a space campaign using FT as the combat resolution system. If I ever
run another one I'd tone down so many of the rules. Still, you have to learn
things the hard way sometimes.

I LOVE that stuff; haven't been able to get many games, much less campaigns,
going of late, but I've poured over your work for much time. Fascinating!

MUCH THANKS!
