Amarillo Design Bureau has decided that our original plans for public beta testing of Federation Admiral this month cannot be implemented. Developmental testing of this creative and exciting campaign system which is powered by VBAM will be kept in-house with veteran players familiar with campaigns and the Star Fleet Universe. Regrettably, this means that the PDF sales of a playtest version of Federation Admiral will be delayed until next year. Both VBAM and ADB wish to make sure that this is the quality product that you expect from either company, and the reality is that it's just going to take more work to produce a beta-test document that blends VBAM with the SFU and is contract compliant. We've all put hundreds of man-hours into making this campaign system work well with all the games of the Star Fleet Universe. During the next few months, work will focus on creating a workable combat system and testing it to the point that testing by a broader public group of players can begin. (As of today, there is not a complete system for anyone to test and we do not want to just say "use the F&E combat system for now.") We expect to have usable reports by early 2017 and will incorporate that data into the system.

Cowboy Mounted Shooting 2016
We had the world championships of this in Amarillo again this year. Lots of cowboys, cowgirls, guns, and horses.
They shoot 45 caliber revolvers, double barrel shotguns, and lever action rifles firing black powder blanks so you get burning sparks for about 15 feet. The sparks will pop balloons. The riders weave through a 100-yard course shooting five targets, then change guns and ride hell for leather in a straight line shooting five more targets on the way back. All in about 12 seconds.
The shutter speed on my cell phone cannot handle the speed of the horses but this at least give you the idea.

Thursday the gang going to Capulin Volcano stopped at the Wild Horse Steakhouse. I caught Leanna admiring their logo.
