Oh, the Humanity !

Jim and I went down to Kingston Friday night to try and get some promotional
miniatures for Silent Death. The event was being run as part of RoyalCon at
Queen's U., and one of the tables in the hall was a Full Thrust game. The
referee was putting his large collection of Kra'vak against a coalition of 6
human players. While the Kra'vak had one of each cruiser and capital model and
many escorts, the humans each had a battleship, three cruisers and three
destroyers.

My immediate reaction was, "I've made this mistake enough times to recognize
it." The referee of course cleaned up the board with the humans. Some were out
less than half way through the slot, but came over to play Silent Death and
got a free miniature for their trouble.

I don't know what made the referee think it was even close to balanced for
play.

Yeah I was one of the victims. I bought Full Thrust a few weeks ago and had
begun painting the NAC and ESU fleets that I got with it. But I had only read
the rules and not played yet. I knew the Kra'vak were supposed to be tough and
that death was inevitable. So to find out how tough, I sent my NAC
BattleDreadnought at "Full Thrust!" into the heart of their fleet. I figured I
might get through and out the other side but... holy shotguns Batman.
