Um... that's "New Empires", isn't it? I alwasy forget whether or not
Starfire I had a campaign supplement or not - that was long before my
time :-/

That doesn't say much, though. If those 150+ ships (per side, or total?)
were CTs, the battle wouldn't have taken that long anyway :-/ (3-5 hours
IME; depending on what tactics and weapon mixes were used - and yes,
I've fought quite a lot of battles like this.)

Yes it did. The first version of Starfire had three booklets. The first empire
rules were called: "Starfire III Empires" Boy were they a mess! There was no
table of contents, the colonizing rules were scattered all over. And every
planet in the system was worth something, regardless of weather you actually
DID something with it!
In spite of this, we had several fun games...

That was the total number of ships present. Most of our battles were similar
in size to those listed in the scenarios. (IE not more than 10 or so on a
side.) That battle was our first and only mega battle. Since we couldn't
figure out (at the time) how to proceed, the game ended.

I stand corrected. Sometimes I should remove my foot from my keyboard before I

Yess I have those too....I am showing my age also. My friends and I had many
fun evenings playing "Starfire 3 Empires" in spite of the organizational
problems.
