Indeed, this is my opinion too, it is most impirtant to know what you will
face in that planet next turn, if you (For some unknown reason) were not the
one who won the fight... As to previous comments on wheather it should or
should not show, who shot who, I think (Without any practical knowledge) that
the GaG system would be most preferable solution. Russel has said his view to
this already, which is: No GaG or other such solutions, so I'm trying to get
this message through to other GM's out there (Of course Rob in special, for
he's the one leading Galaxy solar, in which I at the moment play...). The
statistics of how many shots each ship shot, and how many of those were kills,
are a far better measurement of the ships capability than the formula that was
given with 3.1 rules by which one can count the propabilities. This formula
does not take to account the other aspects of fighting (How many ships of which
type to send in etc.) and that information one accuires only through practice
(If one is not a military genius, which I do not count myself to be :(  ).
	That's all for now, more is sure to come,
