I know that apostrophe goes in there somewhere.

Most of my gaming stuff is packed away in preparation for our move to
Massachusetts, but I keep playing with some things when I ought to be packing
'em. For a few more games, I'll be using unpainted plastic Renegade Legion
tanks for space ships, with the colors showing which side is which. But they
look pretty similar, so I figure I'll make 'em all part of one fleet sometime,
when they're painted. I'll need
to supplement them for something like mid-cruiser size on up,
and I'll need to provide an opposing fleet. (I usually play games with my wife
or with people who don't own miniatures, so I like to have a couple of
different fleets or armies for games.)

The best looking official FT ships are, in my opinion, the Kra'vak. Do any of
you buy those ships and use 'em as regular ship miniatures, not using the
special rules? That's my intention. I bought some destroyers and a heavy
cruiser last night, and I see that my RL
tanks are going to be smaller than I thought--I was hoping they'd
get me through the cruiser range. I'll have to look at the rules to see what
sort of mass these guys are supposed to be, even if I don't use their Kra'vak
rules. But the rules are packed away, so I guess I'll do that in a few weeks.

I bought the 2 books and a fleet in Jan. Looking over the catalogues I thought
the Kra'Vak models looked the best so I got them... only to find out 10 mins
later that "they are too overpowered so nobody plays them". I promptly decided
to redesign them using human tech. I used predominately Pulse Torpedoes as the
long spars of the Kra'Vak ships
seemed to insist on them :-).

Andy,

What part of Massachusetts are you moving to? There is a loyal group of FT
players around the Lowell, MA/Southern NH area and we are always looking
for new players. We have run demonstration games at various cons around New
England and are planning some really incredible games for ConMan in
Manchester, NH in June.

I tried to respond to Paul's given email, but it bounced.

Hi. I'll be moving to Framingham, working in Waltham.

Thanks for the note. That may be just a little to far for frequent travel, but
maybe that would be fine for an occasional game.

I'll keep your email until then.

Thanks, andy andy.skinner@tseng.com
