I was thinking about running a multi-player game (two teams of five
players each), where each player gets a Full Thrust battleship. MIGHT throw in
a Dreadnought per side. But the general idea is not to have any small ships or
fighters. Kind of a Jutland in Space...
Should this be enough for most people to last for a two-hour game? I
realize that some unlucky players might get bumped out early, but I'm trying
to keep things simple...

I think the Cruiser and Battleship duels pages are currently "off line," but
what John is looking at running is not a free for all, but a heavy hitter
space battle.
I'd say you're looking at about a two hour battle for 1 BDN and 4 BBs, but it
will depend on the players. (and their dice) Given a good concentration of
fire, I would attempt to clobber one BB a turn, either kill or mission kill.

Yes, Jon, where did your tournament stuff go to, now that you are on
RoadRunner (mumble with envy).

At the game club that I run the FT game, the number people are very random. I
give each person about 750 points of ships (One crusier or better, a few
destroyers). Baiscally about 4 to 6 ships. I've done it three times from 4 to
8 players and it works amazingly well. Besides, it's always cool to have about
32 ships per side and about 3000 points on each side. I figure that this is
the best way of handling things for it allows players not to lose one ship due
to lucky rolls and be out of the battle, plus it makes the scenarios that I
draw up a little more
"tense".
