Hi

Hi

I am newbie so i will ask a newbie question.

Can you tell me if the army organization for troop not present in the rule
Stargrunt II (IS,MERC,MILITIA,...) exist?

In SGII, Jon speak about a supplement with a budget system. What are the news
about this supplement.

Hi

I am looking for information about Japonese Corporate Mercenaries and Colonial
Militia Troopers:

1. The Japonese Corporate Mercenaries are Japonese Mercenaries used by Any
²Corporation or are Mercenaries rent by Japonese Corporation?

2. What are exactly the Colonial Militia Troopers! If they are local planetary
defense force, so there is militia for NAC planet, FSE planet and so on...

Thanks

Heya..

I am interested in wargaming assitance programs for my Palm unit... anybody
know where I can get some?

Welcome to this list, Alister. I hope Beth and Derek have warned you? Some of
the people around here are,... let's say, a bit... eccentric. But if you know
the Fultons...

Have Fun!

Maybe you can find something here, don't know much about it though. Don't have
a Palm myself, but a PocketPC. Anybody heard about something for that?

Agreed, but with any luck the source can be traced by the list administrators.

Time for my irregular recommendation for Mozilla as an email client. I'm

using the combined package, others swear by Firebird and Thunderbird as
standalone apps. Much more secure, there hasn't been a "let someone else

control your computer" bug in Mozilla.

Allow me to heartily endorse this little plug.

It depends on the e-mail client. My wife and I used Mozilla 1.02, though
she
was the only one to use the e-mail client. It lost her address book
twice.
That's when I went with Pegasus for our e-mail program. It's free and
feature
rich. I have multiple e-mail accounts on it, and my wife and I each have
a different profile.

For a browser I recommend Mozilla Firebird, although we find we _still_
can't get rid of IE as there are a couple of sites that require it.

Like windows update perhaps? How's that for tying products together and

I *am* using Mozilla. I'm assuming that this message came from someone else
who has me in his address book. (I could be wrong but I can't check my home
machine for a couple of hours).

Yeah, but if *he* was using it *we* wouldn't have seen the virus.

Unfortunately some of us have no choice as the employer insists we use Outlook
so they can book us up on appointments etc. I try to be exceptionally careful
about it, but let me know if I was the guilty party.

Cheers

Don't feel bad, the NGA (an American Intelligence Community member agency)
insists on Outlook too. Go figure. I expect it keeps the computer security
employed...

Not entirely true... Mozilla isn't affected by the macro viruses, however most
email based viruses
work of the simple concept of I/O errors.
That is, Idiot Operator errors. People going and opening anything they get in
email attachments, even though randomly named, and containing dodgy file

extensions like.exe and.vbs This affects everyone, regardless of email client.
Just its lucky that 99% of viruses are windows based, the other 1% never seem
to get anywhere.

The way to avoid this is to use Mac, Linux, BSD, etc.

This virus, "beagle" is an.exe file, so only hits windows computers, and it
doesn't matter what email client you use, the program scans for email
addresses in other places, like webpages and your addressbooks (.wab,
.mab?),
and a few other things. It then forges email headers and sends itself on.

You can check out the norton site:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.beagle.a@mm.
html

This explains it more. I recommend if u ran that program from laserlight that
you read this page, as the virus is not very pleasant and you need to get rid
of it quickly.

So yeah, if you want to avoid this, the simplest way is: 1) Get a virus
scanner, and keep it updated! Set the automatic updates to daily even. 2)
Don't open anything you are unsure about. And especially avoid things with
".exe" and ".vbs" extensions. You might commonly see "somename.jpg.vbs"

this is a way a tricking most users into opening the virus script, which most
run on any win2k and xp machine, regardless of mail client. If you get such an
email, confirm with the sender before opening the attachment.

So, ultimately the best defense is vigilance. Look out for this type of thing.
Its only going to get worse as we get more and more bored geeks coming out of
high schools around the world.

Yes, probably from someone who has both the gzg list and laserlight in their
address books. As near as I can tell, it probably came from
arh2356.urh.uiuc.edu, but I don't see any uiuc.edu addresses directly
subscribed to the mailing list. If you go there though, might be time to run a
virus scanner.:)

Hi

Some immediate questions about the wording

Move fighters/missiles (Primary). Beginning with the player who
lost initiative, alternate moving one Fighter Group/Heavy Missile at a
time for their primary move distance. Heavy Missiles pay one CEF for a primary
move; fighters do not.
    · Instead of moving, fighters within 3 mu of any ship-friendly or
enemy-may declare that they are screening that ship.  They move in
Phase 5 with their screened ship, rather than in Phase 3. · Instead of
moving, fighters within 3 mu of a friendly fighter group may declare that they
are escorting that group. They move when
their escorted group moves, and must remain in base-to-base contact
with it.

If a heavy missile does not make a primary move does it use up a CEF or can
missile remain stationary as area denial weapons.

Fighters escorting other fighters must start within 3mu but must remain in
base to base contact??? How does that work? Do you mean fighters in base
contact with another fighter can declare it is moving in escort and must
remain in base contact? Fighters can escort within 3mu and must remain within
3mu? Fighters can being the escort within 3 mu and must move into base contact
if not already in base contact? Something else?

 Salvo missiles, plasma bolts and AMTs automatically gain a -3 DRM.
So essentially you can't shoot these weapons with beam weapons at all.
Although pulse torpedos could still do damage on a 5+

AMTs must declare an attack against all ships within 3 mu. How does this work?
The missile can't physically move into contact with all ships within 3mu. This
wording is OK for a plasmabolt which does not move but not for an AMT. Also in
step 9c AMT must move to attack or don't they make attack runs on the target
like normal missiles?

Kra'Vak scatterguns and Sa'Vasku interceptor pods may not use ADFC guidance.
Currently they don't need to because they have ADFC built in. Are you
proposing to remove this capability from these systems?

Scattergun 6mu 1d3 1 When did you change this weapon from 1D6 to 1D3 and no
ADFC. This nerfs KV anti ordinance.

You do not list stinger nodes as anti ship able to attack ordinance is this
deliberate or did it get left out in error?

These fighter rules heavily favour one shot fighters like torpedo bombers.
They can only make one attack run and so can burn 3 CEF to be unhittable

then attack survive and fly back to rearm for another go.

Having used a similar version of these rules it doesn't make a significant
difference if the fleet uses its anti ship weapons to try and stop a missile
wave. You might force the missile barges to get a bit closer to say 48"

before they fire but you won't have enough firecontrols to target the missiles
even if they don't bother to defend. With each missile burning endurance to
dodge incomming fire, the book keeping becomes much harder as you have to
track different endurance states for each missile rather than just being able
to calcualte the endurance for each wave.

Our version of how we play was inspired by these rules but we dropped the
mechanism of endurance burn because it was too complicated.
