...and all four Iowa BBs were stricken from the registry in 1995. IOW, they are no longer mothballed; they're permanently retired. Read that as you will.

It depends. With the Rule As Written I really don't like it and the only fleet I'm actually interested in has several of the things. Indeed, I had to change the fleet composition just to add more ships without BS (no pun intended) just so I'd have a chance during maneuvering, and quite frankly...

Greg, thanks for taking the time to answer my question and set me straight. Now I just have to decide two things: First, whether I'd rather have a Warlock or a Poseidon for my flagship. I already have the Poseidon + Fighter box set (in a trade for minis I was never going to use). Second, and...

Off topic, but CBT's Gauss rifle was originally (20 years ago) a railgun. I understand they later changed it to a coilgun when the real world terminology of what's what became more solid. None of which changes my point that these weapons are not in use by any power today other than in...

Point of clarification here. The weapon you're thinking of is more commonly called a railgun and we most certainly do NOT have them mounted on Destroyers or anywhere else outside of a lab. And neither does anyone else. The US Navy only recently took possession of a prototype 32MJ railgun, and...

I'm in the pre-paint camp. I can paint alright, I just don't really want to, even if I do have the time. I'll take the pre-paints and touch them up and individualize them a touch if I need to. What really got me wanting pre-paints is that I bought a box of both Cougars and Grizzlies, and the...

Is there any physical difference between the "Officer" figures (Cougar or Grizzly) and those that come in the box sets? From the pics that're available there doesn't appear to be, but I like to have different figs when possible. Thanks.

Look for Jason Coffey. I'm not sure if he's here, but he's on the Yahoo! Group SST page and LVGamers page. I mention him because he runs a lot of events, is a good guy, and a good guy to set something up with. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Starship_Troopers_Game/ and...
