Re: (TFT) Armor and great ST.

[Rick Smith <rsmith@lightspeed.ca>]

Hi Charles,
   In my rules defense, all you need to do is
remember the first number (threshold number)
and all the other values for armor negatives 
can be worked out.

   However, they are basically a reworking of
the Great ST advantages from TFT, and made a
bit more logical and thorough.  I certainly 
would be interested in seeing your system.

   Warm regards, Rick.
