I was stationed on Submarines for most of my career.  We miniaturized the rule and Rm only used two dice.  A few years back i saw the Core Rules of "The System That Shall Not Be Named" in a single book.  I said "Man, we came up with that idea years ago!!"  But we did not copy-left it so we snoozed and lost.

We figured out the calculations for the AL tables and limited the weapons (underway) to 4.  This gave us the ability to game and still sleep with out having books take over our racks.


 Just think now with e-books. You can have your books and space to.

I did a Reserve tour last year and the crew all seemed to have IPads.  I thought....man we could have all the books, CC3 and enough space left over for other things.
