Just to find opponents!<br /><br />The most obvious parallels:<br />Terran=Terran<br />Didrenzi=Carnivorian<br />Relthoza=Entomolian<br />Aquan=Aquarian<br /><br />(The underpinning aesthetic similarities are such that I have to wonder if Spartan didn't use GK ships as prototypes....)<br /><br />My educated guess is FA plays quicker <br />(but more Beer&Pretzel),<br />and GK's adds a bit more complexity and "realism"...<br /><br />However:<br />I have no clue which system would more easily handle Larger Fleets (25+ ships, say...)<br /><br />I say this having played neither game system yet...<br /><br />Thomas<br />('Volstagg' on TMP)Y'shayahu Z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16438926421443363205noreply@blogger.com
