Full Thrust

First of all, the dreaded "I hate cm scale" pictures.
Running to the corners of space...General view and Running to the corners of space...closeup.

Then some pictures from a more recent game. Sorry for the blur, as I said I'm no photographer and sometimes the bloody autofocus has a mind of it's own... That's GZG's NAC ships fighting Citadel's Spacefleet figures standing in for FSE ships.

Yes, the picture with dice in it is a genuine roll during the game (for point defense, no less).

1998-07-30 My failed attempt to create miniature gaming space in my previous apartment. Don't fool yourself. Buy a house with a proper game room.
1998-07-30 Note the counters. This was also an attempt to use the FT vector system. I did not particularly like it, for reasons I'm planning to unveil in an article.
1998-07-30 Some of the figures are official GZG, some are old GW ships.

1998-07-30 I think the bottle top IS meant to be there. Also note the Space Marine infantry standing in for fighters.

1998-07-30 Aargh! I'm going to fall off the edge of space!

1998-07-30 Btw: I hate those lassos too.

1998-07-30 No, the bag of chips is NOT a game marker.

1998-07-30 For some reason, every game we play tends to disintegrate into a closeup brawl.
1998-07-30 The roll was so good I decided to take a photo of it, but unfortunately you can't really see what the dice read...
1998-07-30 No, it's not really this neat. This is a parade shot.
1998-07-30 Running to the corners of space...
1998-07-30 ...and in this corner...

1998-11-18 Why invest in all this playing space, if they're not going to use it?

1998-11-18 Doesn't look to fair to me. Might a campaign we tried (it sucked).
1998-11-18 Looks like a vector game.
1998-11-18 I think this is also from the campaign games.
1998-11-18
1998-11-18 For once, I'd like too see a campaign, where it DID NOT make sense to a) buy all the heaviest stuff you can (the ESU fleet in this example is composed entirely of scouts and battleships or heavier) b) bunch up all your stuff for that "decisive battle edge" Btw: The campaign in question was directly out of the More Thrust book. We al thought it sucked. Even the ESU players, who won it hands down.
1998-11-18 Another fleet lineup.
1998-11-18 Another pain-in-the-ass bunchup.
1998-11-18
1998-11-18
1998-11-18 Lining up again.
1998-11-18 Jon's superdread models are nice, often the nicest in a range, but IMHO they're really too big for gaming.
