[Diaspora] Mini-Game Help

[Jeffrey Hosmer]

Thanks for all your help, guys.  I rant the mini-game scenario again today,
and it went great.  The players managed to fight their enemies to a
concession in Personal Combat, fought a desperate Platoon Combat where the
enemy almost reached the objective just as time ran out.  (One player, whose
unit had "Losers and Rejects" as an aspect spent the whole time futilely,
and hilariously, trying to get his unit to do anything but squat in their
foxholes.)  In space combat, they managed to shoot the hell out of some
torpedo boats while the transport they were escorting managed to escape.
 And in Social Combat, they almost proved their innocence in the Court
Martial until my prosecutor made a run for Mistrial and used his last fate
chip to keep them from moving him out.  Everyone had a lot of fun.  I'll put
my scenario together and put it somewhere for people to look at.

(And Brad, you already sent me dice. ;)

Going to bed now...
