How about:
GZG-MWC GZG MidWest Convention
GZG-HLC GZG HeartLand Convention
GZG-TRC GZG Three Rivers Convention (if it's in St. Louis, Missouri,
Mississippi and Ohio Rivers)
GZG-GLC GZG Great Lakes Convention (if in Chicago)
GZG-HAC GZG Heart of America Convention (Might be misconstrued by those
familiar with with Heart of America Historical Minis Gaming Soc. Yuck, KC area
people will know)
Just a few ideas. If it would be within a 6-7 hour drive of Southern
Illinois, I'd go. Jay

Convention, that is, nothing to do with Star Trek... hmm, maybe we would need
a different acronymn.)

...MCC - Mid Continent Convention. ;->=
I see NCC in this context, and wonder if you're planning a con on the shores
of Hudson Bay. *brrr*

Reading the rules, it seems that all characters had identical "hit points"
with absolutely no differentiation between physically larger, more healthy or
more muscular characters and smaller, slighter, weaker and more sickly
characters. Colourful rules, but not much in the accuracy stakes.

Oddly, I find this sort sort of D&D beer-and-pretzels-level
mechanic less silly as I get older. Dramatically, characters have always
needed to be differentiated from goons and orcs.

I think Brin's point was that in the first 3 films, the force was a zen kinda
thing and then in Ep. 1, young Anakin tests positive for Jedi. It's
not so much the PC-ness of it, but the fact that one has to be
genetically
predisposed to be a lightsaber-wielding scion of galactic justice. There
was
a second article comparing Star Wars and Star Trek from a soci-political
standpoint, rather then the tired "The Borg would crush the Empire," "No way
man, the Death Star would cream a Borg cube, it destroyed a planet in a
singel shot" garbage more often seen on the net-comparisons.

That stuff is on my page, which unfortunately has been down for about a
month...
But here are the appropriate excerpts from my page (though I assume that you
were referring to another site, as I don't think mine got a whole lot of
traffic when it was working)...
Guided Missile System / Portable (GMS/P)
A lighter cousin of the GMS/L, the GMS/P (introduced in Stargrunt II) is
slightly less capable, but provides infantry teams a longer-ranged
anti-armor capability than IAVR. Any rifle or close assault team may be
equipped with a GMS/P if it pays the appropriate weapon cost in addition
to
the team's normal cost and may fire the GMS/P in place of its normal
weapons
on any turn. GMS/P operation is the same as other GMS.
Weapon Range Chits Mass Points
GMS/P 24" 1 1 10/20/30
and
Low Velocity Cannon
Low velocity cannons (LVC) are generally short-barreled weapons firing
HE, fragmentation, HESH, or HEAP warheads using either a chemical reaction or,
in higher tech forces, magnetic acceleration. Low velocity cannons are used as
main armament on tanks in low technology forces and sometimes as main armament
on infantry support vehicles. In addition, combat engineering module
demolition weapons can be used as LVC in an emergency (chits, and
validity as LVC/4, but range is much shorter). Finally, LVC/1 can be
carried and fired by infantry heavy weapon teams (in this case, it represents
a recoilless rifle). LVC come in all classes (from 1 to 5). The low muzzle
velocity of the LVC rounds means that they may be intercepted by area and
point defense weapons--the target of an attack by LVC may choose to use
a point defense or area defense die normally used against guided missiles as a
secondary target die (instead of using "evading," "soft cover," or other
secondary die). LVC systems cost 4 x Class of weapon.
