Star Fleet Battles....I still have copies of the Energy Allocation Forms...and Ship SSDs...and the sheet protecters...and a box of 2-3k cardboard counters...

Saw a fleet battle once with a "Drone Slave"...a "volunteer" who was given the target records of all the drones for one side and spent the entire battle just moving little drone counters...every impulse...32 of them a turn... edit about 8-9 ships a side...but only 2 sides...

An Awful job when someone had about 100 drones in the "air"...each of them have to be moved every impulse...

LoL think I am gonna go play a little SFC from Interplay now...
