A question, actually: 1) Has anyone heard/seen the second part of the commanders rule book? Other than that, what sort of rules do folks use for ship balancing modifications in campaign/pick-your-own scenarios? We've used the standard VP system, and also tried modifying ships a bit, and each seems to present different disadvantages, depending on the difference, and the players. -- EVEN TEDDY BEARS HAVE SECURITY BLANKETS!

According to the latest blurb from the Armadillo Design Bureau, the Star Fleet Battles Volume II will be released in June at Origins '84 (June 21-24, Dallas, TX). As I understand it, this will be a remake of the original SFB including the 3 expansion sets. They will sell an update for the Commanders Rule Book for a "limited time". No prices were given. Most of this information comes from the latest issue of Nexus magazine from Task Force Games. "Blow 'em away Mr. Checkov!" Ralph Keyser
