Empires In Space From: mhkohne@discordia.org (Michael Kohne) Date: Sat, 25 Nov 1995 00:00:00 +0000 Does anyone here currently play Empires In Space? I picked up a flyer about it at Philcon the other week and was wondering if it's any good. The flyer makes it sound fairly decent, and I'm going to order the rules (at only $5 for the rules, it's worth ordering them). What I'd like to know is, how good is the operator? I notice the flyer says the game is 'mostly' computer moderated, with the note that player-defined tactical rules are used in combat, requiring some GA intervention. The thing that worries me about this game is the note on the front that good stand-by positions are available immediately. Also, the fact that he seems to only have run a few games (games 6 and 8 are running now) makes me think this is a relative newcommer to field. The name given for the operator is M Robert Stribula. Anyone heard of this person before? He certainly put quite a bit of work into the flyer, if the game gets that much attention, it could be something really neat. After I get the rules, I'll post a quick summary, if anyone is interested. -- Michael Kohne mhkohne@discordia.org e-mail for PGP key "JDP DCC PXNS TXXY YSFDJZ DQY MHQF BHZAFZ RXJF GSNF." Up
