Doesn't have to be specific for them, like Galactic Knights; there are Full Thrust adaptations for them as well.

Reminds me I ought to scan it in and post it to the VFW blog. (interesting comments from the "militeristic" ladies leaving their martial arts practice.) Pass on the Sci fi though - never have had much interest in gaming it though loved the shows and the movies. Kind of sad their is nothing decent on or even on with s Star Trek theme these days.VolleyFireWargameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558522852896871065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-56039090894792774292012-12-12T12:37:32.050-05:002012-12-12T12:37:32.050-05:00Yep; must be in the Scandinavian blood! :-)Yep; must be in the Scandinavian blood! :-)Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-46441752353839086422012-12-12T07:58:19.016-05:002012-12-12T07:58:19.016-05:00Nice trip down memory lane, Peter.

That's funny re: brass instruments. In ...John,<br /><br />That's funny re: brass instruments. In all honesty I was anything but a heavy drinker; indeed, I probably drink far more now than I did in college. I managed to get drunk exactly once, and completely accidentally, as a Sophmore. Tom, his roommate, my roommate and I were watching the UConn-UMass game on TV (it was being played about 200 yards away, and the signal beamed from the top floor of our dorm, which was the tallest point between Hartford and Boston. we were playing penny ante poker, and drinking beer (which I don't even like). Over the course of thee hours and a few dollars changing hands, I think I got up to nine beers... far more than I had ever had before. I felt great until about the last 1/2 of #9 - whereupon vertigo ensued, followed by the inevitable worship of the porcelain throne for an hour or two, followed by a 2 day hangover! Why anyone would ever want to experience that more than once, I have no idea, but I've never come anywhere near that much alcohol again, nor do I ever intend to!<br /><br />As to the Brandy in the Busby, well, that was strictly for "Medicinal Purposes"; it gets darned cold in the second half of a football game in New England, especially those held in Maine! :-)<br /><br />Oh, and, among the many professions I considered, at least back in High School, was the Ministry, and I've been a Deacon of our church in the past.
