Sunrise
The Russians have demanded that the Japanese abandon Sunrise Station. The Japanese have refused, so the Russians are attacking. There's one problem: Sunrise Station is orbiting within a star's photosphere.

A messy base siege where the environment is trying to kill you. I've redesigned the Russian capital ship and need playtesting to ensure that the scenario still works. Russians are Mode 2 (vector) with armor, Japanese Mode 1 (Whoosh! movement) with ablative shields.

*Sunday Games--A Request!

Traveller on West Coast Time

Interested in a Pacific Time-friendly Squadron Strike: Traveller teaching game? E-mail Ken Burnside directly with the best day for you (Monday the 15th, Tuesday the 16th, or Wednesday the 17th) and your earliest available start time. ken.burnside@gmail.com

Greg Nokes wants to participate in a Traveller teaching game at a West Coast-friendly time early next week. His window of availability starts at 4 PM Pacific Time (7 PM EDT) Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday and we're looking for one or two others interested in learning Squadron Strike: Traveller.

We're offering this for people who are also West Coast-based to help a group to coalesce, much like the Central European crowd.
