    There is, to the best of my knowledge, only one intact complete copy (unless I gave a copy to Chirine and forgot), and that copy is somewhere in storage. It was never published and greatly predates computers (the whole fucking thing was typed) so of course Google had no clue.

    Sorry.
    I don't care if you respect me, just buy my fucking book.

    No need to be sorry General. I would have liked to see your creative mind at work("Steampunk 1979" sounds real cool)!!! Thanks

    And we didn't consider eating just any old tribesmen, either. The Glorious General and I have high standards in cuisine, I'll have you know! Only the very best selected tribesmen - read, the ones within reach - are fit for our sophisticated palates. And served with a fine Salarvyani black wine, too; no chablis, here!
    Undoubtedly, your high standards are an inspiration for many a young Molkar out there! After I read that to the troups, numerous were the men who swore they also wouldn't even consider eating the tribesmen that's outside reach!

    And all of those that said they consider the others as an option were crossbowmen, I should add, one needs to wonder what's the matter with them!

But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward." - Rocky

    I don't have a copy; we only had the one you typed. I just provided the big three-post binder you kept it in while we played - hey, it was top-of-the-line technology at that time!

    It was a fun set of rules; we'd been playing a lot of "Starguard' but kind of wanted a more campaign-oriented set of rules. It was originally inspired by Gordy's 'Dorsai' series of books and stories, but ACE nixed that so it became a more general set of SF rules.

    The crossbowmen like to take them on the wing; it's more sporting that way.

    That surely explains it! We bow to the wisdom of the veterans!

    Isn't it "Areyoureadytogetthosebastards", with semi-random hyphenation?

    For many years, the US was worried because the Soviets were twenty years ahead of us in vacuum tube technology. Eek!!!

    We try to share these bits of wisdom.

    Me, I'd just yell 'SHOOT!', on the theory that when in Milumaniya it's better to do unto others before they can do unto you. As long as they stay out of range, I'm just as happy...
