(...) Correct. We were playing something more akin to the campaign game where you start with a cutter and move up. In addition to the potential for interesting play, this also had the advantage of giving the players a less complicated ship to deal (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jun-00, to lugnet.gaming)

I'm wondering who would be up for a game in DC (probably this would be WAMALUG members). My next few weekends are (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jun-00, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.org.us.wamalug)
