"Rule A13.675 says if I do this, this happens"

"but rule R12.275 says when Klingons board a Tholian
after Y175 then this applies also"

30 min to move everybody, 30 min to tell each other
why what they did was illegal...

Lots of SFB players on the list...is that a sign we like the simple
stuff more? I mean, the rule book for E40K is what, 48 Pages?
I think the "R" section with the Federation's ship details is
longer than that...
        What game have you racked up more hours on in, say
the last year?
The Captain's Edition SFB is the best & most organized, and
I've spent less time with it by far than the older versions. I've
also spent more time on SM/TL.
