#5122 Arrival Vengeance

[unnamed sender] · 14 January 1993

Hi,
As modules go for $7.00 its better then the Diaspora sector. On the other
hand the errors are there too, especially in ship design. Considering
the flak GDW got over "fighting ships" and elsewhere one would think that
the stats would be perfect. So where are the Gunboat stats??

The "campaign" is more a series of loosely connected scenario with the
whole campaign more like a log. IMHO there is little here to base any
"real" scenarios on. I think this would have been better sold as a
multi-part campaign/scenario in Challenge. There is some info here but
mostly its a setup for TNE.

The Azhanti High Lightning ship designs are very well done. The Graphics
quality is excellent.

I agree. Much better value for money.

Indeed. The details show many fine touches. I was particularily
amused by the embroidered/printed Denebian unicorn on all the
blankets and the potted plants in Officer Country. If GDW
printed these in the original Azhanti High Lightning format,
shrinkwrapped them with an 8- or 16-page booklet with new
scenarios, and marketed it as an AHL supplement, I, for one,
would buy them.
