Captain's Log #17
Price: $9.00 USD

Publisher: Amarillo Design Bureau

The General War was the largest and longest conflict ever fought in the Milky Way Galaxy. Volumes have been written on every aspect of the war; this brief outline is intended as a general guide for further research into the subject.

When this 96-page issue was published in June of 1995, nobody knew that Task Force was in deep trouble and would soon be reduced to a very dim light before going completely dark. The format of the time was 96 pages "plus something" and the something in this issue was a sheet of extra tournament counters.

History
Includes "A Brief History of the General War," as well as information about the Galactic Intelligence Agency's awards, Seltorian rank structure, and the Star Fleet report on Kumerian's Red Fleet.
Database (which became the commo section in later issues)
Includes conventions, rated aces, Input Guide, Why, Proposals Board, Kommodore Ketrick, After Action Review, Command the Future, several rules examples, Battle Force 500, a scenario workshop, Ten Questions, humor, and a play-aid for planetary invasions.
Universe (which later became venues)
Includes Arcturians in Prime Directive, new missions for Star Fleet Missions, an article on miniatures, reports on Star Fleet Warlord, and background on artist Dan Carroll.
Scenarios
Includes ten new ones (SL157-166.)
Tactics
Includes information about terrain, information about mine warfare, Term Papers, Victory at Origins 94, and Ask Uncle Ardak.
Federation and Empire
Includes Q&A, Tactical Notes, a Federation play-aid card, the original F&E combat system, Seltorians in F&E, and a scenario about the Eastern Theater.

New ships include fast cruisers for the Federation and Klingons, heavy destroyers for the Kzintis and Lyrans, six cadet ships, and Federation squadrons for new strike carrier group and a new light cruiser squadron.

A special feature was the supplemental tournament countersheet; an image of it is included with the PDF.

This was scanned from the best available copy.
