Update on the Star Wars Game:

[MKSheppard]

I got some research material in the mail today:
a WEG Star Warriors Game still with the shrink
wrap on it and all of the pieces still UNPUNCHED!



The rule book is 50 pages, so I guess I can do it in a few days for all you
jacknapes to read...

I can work on it with WeeMadAndo, and we can abstract the rules, etc etc...

For example, in the game, Star Destroyers are abstracted as having
structure points of 8, and a successful Starfighter attack on an ISD
reduces it's structure points by 1......
