Who are these imbeciles posting negative reviews? The PDFs and Shapeways are the best things that have happened in my opinion. I remember when I was a young boy (well over 30 years ago) asking my mom ... |

There is not a lot of activity on this board in general. To be quite honest I think this conversion is more for the people who are not on this board. The people on this board have their options alrea ... |

I just picked up Talon recently and it is fantastic. Having played SFB, Fed Com and Starmada, I feel Talon comes much closer to capturing the core mechanics of the game. The designer has played SFB an ... |
