Hi,
Can I rope you into blogging about this year’s Valour-IT fundraiser?
http://bostonmaggie.blogspot.com/2008/11/valour-it-kickoff.html
I saw that you were a Navy blog that Galrahn links to and he is this year’s Navy team leader.
I just want to say thank you for posting a link to my site.

I found an Imperium box I had hidden away for years. It is the 1990 edition. Never played it. Read through the rules (took awhile) a few days ago. And thought I could play it. Was difficult to find where to start in the rules again, and where to go from there.
I’m going to re-write the rules so it fits on one or two pages with step by step game movement during a player’s turn.
Anyway, I want to fix some typos also. Did you give tankers a cost of 1 or 2 during your games? The rules say 1, the chart says 2.
I split the difference:
For the Imperials I charge 1 RP – after all the Imperials probably already have ships they can convert to tankers on hand. For the Terrans I charge 2 RP since I figure the Terrans have less shipbuilding capacity and to dedicate tonnage to tankers has a real impact on the fighting fleet.
