game background :-/

Li Han is one of the naval heroines (...female hero, that is - not drug)
of the Terran Republic (aka 'rebels') in the Weber novel "Insurrection".

I guess it just shows that I prefer 'Crusade' to either 'Insurrection' or 'In
Death Ground' (though, I love Weber in general.)

That's the one thing that's always bothered me about space combat; the death
toll is always going to be enormous. (Can't just jump overboard and
swim for it, can ye?  (8-) )  Though the carnage described in some of
the Weber's books just boggles the imagination.

What does this have to do with FT?  Not much.  (8-)

I for one, presume that some sort of rescue ships exist. These have no value
in the combat section of the game and are not
represented on the board or in the points count.   Perhaps some
humanity exists in space combat after all.
     This/these would be rescue ships perhaps on the order of the
comverted Flower class corvettes on the North Cape run.

Comments?

Bye for now,

I had been thinking that this would be of relevance to a campaign game. Losing
experienced crews for ships is always costly but it rarely seems to be taken
account of by game systems. The only one I can think of was that Imperial
Starfire happened to have crew requirements for ships and as such also had
crew recovery as a function of the game.
