Simpler space games for young uns

I am (with Jon's blessing) condensing FT down to an introductory "FT Lite",
suitable to whet appetites.

No, you can't see it yet.

Be very interested in seeing it, once it does become available.

I imagine you'd have to have pretty sharp tongue to be able to whet it... <g>

Hi,

When I introduced FT to my friends, I wrote a series of linked scenarios based
at a UNSC Training School designed to introduce the various concepts of the
game. IIRC the first scenario just covered simple movement; the next added
more complicated manoeuvring; the next beam weapons; the next projectile
weapons. It all finished up with a simulator exercise involving the NSL trying
to interdict a UNSC relief convoy escorted by the NAC.

If you are interested in any of this, please let me know, and I'll see what I
can dig out.

Cheers,

Sounds interesting and a very useful method to introduce novice players to the
game. I'd be interested in the scenarios you've developed.

I've also developed an introductory scenario that I've used at the East Coast
Convention called the Estrell Convoy Assault Training for six players, three
players per side.

Each side gets to play the attacking heavy cruisers against a well defended
freighter convoy so they end up playing two games during the four hour time
slot. The winning side is determined by the most victory points scored against
the freighters.

I can post it to the list if anyone's interested.
