     This reminds me of last years post gathering debate about whether or not the Lions should have been flanged. Same essential argument then, was flanging the Lions and saving their Gathering worth irritating the rest of us with the flange? Of course Bruce went on to turn them round into a shit-kicking faction, obviously just to spite all us rec.gamers who voted to close them down. :)

     Hello Rec Gamers,
     I am in need of a Star Trek: The Next Generation instruction card. Anyone have one to spare? Or can anyone tell me how to format Mr. Stambaugh's STTNG card.gif so that it would be regular size when printed from netscape?

     Thanks to GOCATGO and others who pointed me in the right direction. Game plays perfect now - open invitation to any Rec-Gamer who wants to stop by and play - it's an addictive game.
