I have some pictures of an individual gamemastering Full Thrust at Gencon 02
using Lego ships.  The construction was simple but effective and the players
seemed to like them

I have played and GMed Full Thrust games for years.  I have about 30 of • the
metal ships and hundreds of the Star Trek micro-machines.  You can use a • few
ships, or many.  My friends and I have played fleet-sized battles.  If you
have played or have seen a BattleTech game, it plays much the same.  Any
miniature can be stated out to play.  Friends have played it with Fighters
and say it works, I have not seen the game played in this manner.

I'm sure Lego microships can be used once your players agree on sizes.  In
fact, I have been collecting the mini fighter sets from the Lego Star Wars
sets and am planning to check out the fighters' game.  I would like to see
micro Star Destroyers and Rebel Warships, and try and play a game with • them.
It is a killer game.  As to where to find the rules, check your local • hobby
shop and every once in a while it shows up on ebay.

Good Gaming

This is sort of O.T., but I was wondering if anyone plays "Full Thrust" • and
what they think about it. I'm sort of leaning towards miniature games and • it
looks pretty groovy, but it's hard to tell. Plus -for anyone's who has
played - could the rules be adapted for Lego microships? Not that I'm
looking for a Lego-only game; I like little lead minis and whatnot.

Is there a place in the U.S. where I might find a copy? (Eastern
Massachusetts would be good too). I've been scanning the internet, but it
doesn't look good...

Thanks.

(...) I've considered using LEGO ships for Silent Death. It even could be a catchy title: "Silent LEGO Death"... Post your pics! Also, we should get in touch with that person and invite them into GameLUG. Frank (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.gaming)
