I won't have a lot of stuff along with me as I'll be flying down, but I'll
bring some things.

That's something I keep meaning to do, but never get around to. :) We've
got a humongous-scale battle (~1100 attacking ~400 heavily fortified) coming
up here locally, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how LW:TSV handles
scaling up.

Yup. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a playtester. :) It plays a
bit slow compared to some of the stuff out there, but certainly as quick or
quicker than the rules-heavy games (SFB, etc). What keeps me coming back is
that it has a tactical depth that boggles my mind. I've played quite a bit,
and 2 sides, 1 ship each still holds interest, and is by no means the same
game twice.
