Subject: Starfleet Wars/FT Web Page
I am pleased to announce a web page dedicated to the conversion of Starfleet
Wars miniatures to Full Thrust stats. You are all invited to
stop by and take a look around. Comments are welcome.

Starfleet Wars from was my introduction to starship combat games back in the
late 1970's. I really enjoyed the background and the miniatures but could not
afford the miniatures back then. Thanks to Game Masters, the
miniatures are available once again. Full Thrust is a much better set of rules
than the old Starfleet Wars rules so the page has FT stats for almost all the
minis with the rest on the way. Matthew Seidl did the web development and
collaborated on the final designs. There are rules modifications to fit the
Starfleet Wars universe and I think we came up
with some fun variations (check out the Aquarians and how their cloak works
along with their special beam battery rules for example).
The Starfleet Wars universe is the setting of my first PBeM game, Deneb
Clash, and in a couple weeks, I will return with Vanguard Cruise. I should be
sending out a call for players in a couple weeks, please wait
until then to respond.
This is the first page set up by the 'M Collective', a group composed of
myself (Dean Gundberg), Jim Bell, Mike Miserendino, and Matt Seidl who have in
common FT and a desire for more miniatures. We plan to bring to the Full
Thrust gaming community a number of interesting web pages and services.
Next up is a web page for the 'Space Dreadnought 3000' line of starship
miniatures from Pendraken Figures, a small company in the UK who has created 6
fleets of miniature ships from fighters to massive base ships. We are scanning
the final pictures now and should have everything up soon. What
the M Collective does next, you will have to wait and see ;-)
