(...) Smile. That works. But by that definition, at least in my universe, the Insectoid sets are definitely space sets - they don't seem particularly war-oriented - no more so than any other space theme I can think of, and much less so than the (...)

(...) On reflection (and a shower) I have to agree about the Insectoids. They do fit my definition of true space. Were I not to admit that, I'd be a racist. Just cause they don't have yellow heads is no excuse not to include them. I guess they just (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)
