Subject: OFF: Vector Movement System/Babylon 5 Wars Update

Hello!

Sorry for the off-topic post, but given the interest that has
occasionally been shown on this list towards Babylon 5 and SF tactical space
combat
boardgames, I don't think this is too off-topic.

1) The latest iteration of the Vector Movement System for Agents of Gaming's
_Babylon 5 Wars_ is available at http://www.wizard.net/~caw/vms.htm.
The
actual rules for the variant are now in a 3-page long Adobe Acrobat
file. This variant replaces the AoG movement system with a more realictic
vector movement system.

2) Arius and I will be running the game tonight at The Game Parlor in
Chantilly, VA. We will start sometime between 6:30 and 7pm. I don't know what
Arius is planning for the scenario yet, by I suggested something with a
capital ship and a couple of squadrons of fighters on each side, with more
ships added as necessary.

3) Feedback is welcome.  We have played the system a half-dozen times,
and have made numerous tweaks to it, but any further suggestions would be much
appreciated.

4) "But Chris, how can this be of any use if the AoG game hasn't been released
yet?" Game Parlor expects to have it *tomorrow*.

5) Please note that this is not a derivation of the AoG game. It is a new
vector movement system for use with _B5W_ and other games.
