Don't let it worry you...
I've played one FC game with counters in the last three years, and no SFB games w/o minis in the same time frame.
Heck, I'm trying to collect enough minis to play Federation and Empire using minis only. _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

That's a little ambitous...

I'm thinking about the size of the map that'd take. Fortunately, my head hasn't exploded yet _________________ "His pattern indicates two-dimensional thinking."

A good sized, school gymnasium should work nicely... _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

Scoutdad, did you get enough "factory reject" ships to represent all the cripples?
F&E-with-minis could be a solution to the "clickybase minimum run" issue... just print the F&E stats in the clickybase, issue a "superduper mega-scale F&E map" and the F&E players will snap them up. _________________ "Captain" Terry O'Carroll, fourteen papers published including six best of issue

Terry:
No, not enough "rejects" yet... but maybe I can cajole a few more out f Steve this year at Origins... Maybe a case of Diet Dr. Pepper and an Orion Slave Girl will do the trick!
I have found a work around though...
The way we play, you have more dead ships than cripples. A cotton bal, soaked in a 1:1 mix of Elmer's Glue:water then placed on a stand looks a lot like an explosion if you air brush i t correctly! _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

I'd like to be able to make it down, but I don't think I can afford it this year.
Knowing my luck, I'll never get to go... _________________ FC Omega Discussion (v3)
