To start, I'll use a Fed CA vs a Klingon D7, in the standard opening
position (see classic duel scenario) y165.  I'll use all the rules,
including EW and TacIntel.

To speed things up, I'll require a course plot for the entire turn,
which can be as complex with if/then statements as you like, as long as
the conditions are based on information available; if you place a "fire
if fired upon" order, for example, your ship will fire the impulse after
your enemy, not simultaneously.  If however you place a "fire at range
8" and your opponent has done the same,  simultaneous fire will take
place.

I'll post a copy of an energy allocation form on the web, and a hex map
and play by play, giving each player access only to the pages for his
ship.  Once the battle is over, I'll make the whole thing available for
review by both players, and the web at large.

THis is primarily an experiment at this stage, if it works I'll be very
interested in setting up larger scale battles with more players, less
information available about the opposition and so forth.  Too, I'd
really like to play myself at some point, so perhaps I can set someone
else up as moderator...
