PBE-M TCS/Fifth Frontier War

Hi,

I've been reading the Traveller PBE-M discussion with great interest
and would love to play!

Seems heaps of people are interested in PBE-M Traveller roleplay.
Anyone interested in PBE-M Fifth Frontier War/TCS as well??

Jim Cunningham mentioned he'd played Fifth Frontier War PBM. This has the
advantage that the mechanics for a PBM FFW are already reasonably play-
tested so there shouldn't be any hiccups in the rules. As Paul (grue@...)
mentioned we tried working out a PBM TCS but got bogged down in combat.
If FFW has already been converted to PBM all that much better.

Unfortunately, I've never played FFW and know only the a basic outline
of the game.  I guess that it could probably accommodate quite a few
players though, one player per major fleet should be optimal.

Incorporating the "fog of war" rules from TCS (i.e. each fleet admiral
knows only what intelligence information he is given by scouts, local
planetary bases, etc. And no one has complete knowledge (except the GM,
of course!) about current locations/sizes/etc...) could make it interesting.

Comments? Suggestions?

Eric.
