Blah blah.
Buh.

Huh
So according to Memory Beta, Benjamin Sisko commands a Galaxy-Class starship, the USS Robinson NCC-71842.
Per the background information on that page, the ship may have been named after Jackie Robinson, as 718 is the area code for Brooklyn (home of the Dodgers when Robinson played) and 42 was his jersey number.
Cool.
Unboxing, Sorta…
Same sized box
Bigger rulebook, 96 pages vs. 166 pages
One sheet of counters is the same in both editions; the new edition has many more counters per sheet
I think I’m gonna need a bigger box for counters
The new rules no longer need these carrier group counters, so I’ll pack them away with the older 2000 set

Just Because
Sketchy Redux
Tonight I picked up a cheap sketchbook from Michael’s.
I’m not sure what I’m going to do with this, I used to draw in my pre high school days, buy lost interest after taking art class in freshman year.
First doodle/sketch:
Should I be using something other than a mechanical pencil?
If anything I’ll be making my own coloring book!
I was never good at drawing humans. Or animals. Maybe I’ll work on that.
Critiques are welcome.
Be aware that I already know that I suck, so there’s that.
Counters
From most of the posts on BoardGameGeek.com regarding Federation and Empire, having a second copy of the game is a good source of ship counters, which you’ll need plenty of, apparently.
There’s also a module for Vassel, for online play, so that’s a play option, too.
It’s just too bad that the two empires/races (Gorn/Romulan) that I most want to play are on opposing sides. Though that might make for a good starting point for learning the game.
