Subject: [SG2] [FT Universe] Questions

Q1: I remember when I was in CF that we had an 'aircraft action' section drill
for small arms to fire agains air vehicles. Did I miss something in SG2 or is
this not possible? If it is possible, how does one adjudicate such fire? (My
suggestion: Give the pilot a chance to breakaway just like GMS attack. If he
breaks, there goes his activation because he's moved. If he doesn't break
away, then resolve fire as if it was at double the distance between firer and
target (to cover height off the ground) unless target is hovering, in which
case only one and a half times. Because of the difficulty of effective fire,
shift firer FP die down one level).

Q2: Has someone published a list of stars vs. named colonies (that is
to say, I downloaded from the FT core some amazing starmaps - thanks
to the author - big kudos!). I know we have some idea where New
Israel, Albion, and a couple of other colonies are from the official list, but
has anyone composed an 'official' list of the ones we 'officially' know about
(thus allowing us to fill in the unofficial ones as we see fit). I just don't
want to find out I've situated my Independent Scots colony on the homeworld of
the LLAR.....

Q3: Who wrote the excellent article on bunkers/buildings in SG2? I
could use it for a current scenario involving an attack on a castle.
Could the author send me a copy at thomas.barclay@sofkin.ca -
excellent work but I seem to have misplaced the copy I thought I had saved.

Thanks for the info folks. Tom.
