Crude Metric Conversion

Please accept my appolgy for this crude estimation of metric conversion. I have never seen a non-american version of the FT rules. I tried to make by conversion easy to use.

3' = 1m
1"= 25mm
so a 6'x3' table would be approx 3x1m.
each point of thrust would move a ship 25mm.

Spies of the FCT have stolen plans of military importance (front strengths, secrete plans for a moon sized battle station, list of the admiral's girlfriends, etc.). The information has been loaded on to 8 Columbus class Destroyers (see below & Ship Registry). 6 of the ships have broken through the PAU lines. The PAU have, of course, dispatched pursuit ships.

The PAU player may have 1000 points of FTL ships to pursue.

The play area consists of an area 3' x 18'. This is 3 table lengths. It represents a narrow corridor through an asteroid field. If the FCT player gets a ship off the end of the 3rd table he wins. For the PAU player to win, he must destroy all 6 ships before they leave the top edge of the play area (This is an all or nothing scenario). Any ships that leave the corridor, except at the end of the end of the corridor, are destroyed. If playing by the moving table rules, then when a ship of the FCT reaches the end of the table the play area is shifted by half a table. Any ships that are shifted off the edge of the table are out of play.

Each player's ships enter the table at a speed of 12. The FCT places his ships within 24" of the bottom of the table. The PAU player then places his ships within 6" of the bottom edge of the table. Play then proceeds.

Use the optional "C" Batteries as Anti-Fighter/Missile Systems rule (p.5 More Thrust supplement).

Columbus class Destroyers: 14 tons. Speed 8. FTL. 1 "A" beam weapon (3 arcs of fire). 1 "C" beam weapon (3 arcs of fire). 1 Screen Generator. Partial Streamlining. Cost 113.
