Back in high school, I was really into Star Fleet Battles (not that I ever particularly had people to play with). Now that I'm not a hosed little undergrad anymore and know other people who know the game, I asked my parents to ship me all of my bits. UPS received the package on December 6; it hasn't been seen since.
So now my parents got me the Captain's Edition, which is a step up from all of my old stuff. (What? ADB revised the game in the early 90's? Oh, yeah.) I taught one of my housemates the basics of the game. It was fun, if somewhat slow; we were fighting two battle groups against each other, and one of his cruisers was all but totalled in exchange for a little internal damage (right, plus four downed shields, enh) on my dreadnought.
( musings on, of all things, the rulebook )
