Hi all, have their been any rumors concerning SG III or "Bugs Don't Surf"? SG
II is one of my favorite games so obviously I am really interested in learn
ing more about any further development.
I have been really pleased with the flee t books which I got at
_Origins_ this past summer. Their existance inspi red me to buy about
$250 in _GZG_ lead and I will probably buy much more over the next
couple of years so I can field a fleet from any of the lines giv en. I
am concurrently doing the same with the _Fleet Action _scale Babylon 5
figures (I already have the _Narn _and _Centaur i _fleets.) They seem to
mix and match pretty well size wise - also, concep tually I think they
fit in pretty well. I know some people like 'Indy' did a lo t of work to come
up with stats for them and at one point a role playing game h ad a version of
FT just for B5. I think it wo uld be nice to have a fan version of B5 ship
designs that are up to date with the current rules.
On the SG II front, I s aw that there were some figures out for the
_Kra'Vak_ in 25mm but was di sappointed to see that they were organized
identically to the human forces. The y weren't very alien in my eyes. Since
their ships and space tech is so differe nt I was hoping their ground
organization and technology would be different as well. Does

There are some nice conversions on the web, check out the The Babylon Project
Ship Builders Guild page for links to conversions, especially Richard Bax's
page

Also you might want to avoid sending HTML email to this list. It adds a lot of
gunk and makes your message hard to read in the digest version of the list.

And the odds that MSN adds the HTML formatting without any control to
Peter???
Well, I've already made my position clear, but I'll wait to hear what Peter
has to say. And, boy, can he say it! ;->=

Some email programs - mine, for example - can't show HTML-ized posts at
all. On my screen Peter's post showed up as 4 kB of blank spaces, both when
first opened and when I tried to reply to it (that sometimes works, but not
this time).

Hi Peter,
Which organisation are you using for the Kra'Vak?
About 18 months ago Robert Deakin; one of our gaming group, came up with an
orbat for the Kra'Vak that was totally unlike any of the human approaches. I
can't find a soft copy at the moment; Robert came up with an approach of Claw,
Eye etc for each of the tactical components (see his fiction Karla's Kidnap on
Jeremy Sadler's webpage).
Within a platoon equivalent, you have a command type squad which is purely
Veterans carrying heavy weapons!? These are your adult seasoned warriors; the
Juves aren't physically strong enough to carry these brutal gauss weapons yet.
The remaining squads are Green troops representing Juves or junior warriors.
The morale rules to represent a berserker style rage make the Kra'Vak Juves
quite dangerous as a failed Confidence Check could result in an unexpected
Close Combat and even the juve Kra'Vak are viscous, rolling 2d6 in CC!?
Weapons are all gauss just like ship systems so the infantry small arms are
treated by the rules pretty much the same.
If I can find them I'll forward the house rules on.
Cheers, Owen

Outlook and Outlook Express, and the mail reader with Netscape, all have the
option of turning off HTML mail. Unfortunately, they also have sending it in
HTML format as a default. I can't remember, either, if you're given the option
of changing it during set up or if you have to think about it and remember to
go and turn it off. I think this latter case is the most likely.
I usually see HTML mail from people who have just installed or reinstalled
their browser software.

Outlook, if you're replying, you can set it to default to whatever format the
