Dramatic SFB: Possible New Campaign Game "Madness"

[Wayne Power]

Chuck,
I do not see myself playing in this Campaign, I can offer to be a Battle Captain, like I am in the A&B Campaign. ( I do like the "Only normal standard races for this one. None of the dead races brought back or computer ones").  I will be re-joining the FMJ campaign starting up in March (it has a similar "must field a minimum of one ship to each encounter before you can send two ship to another)
I know you are trying to force combats at the scenario with your rules, but as has been noted in the other campaign, each player plays differently, some are keen to do scenario battles no mater what, and others will pick which battles to fight, and like to have the option of retreat.
all good

 I have been considering running a new game. Been a while. Be advised up front. Rules will not be normal. Game will run from 172 to 177. 4 turns per year. We have most if not all of the refits that matter by now. Year one you can buy only Frigates or DDs. Every year you get the next size class available. Any scenario with bases or things of this nature which skew fights, the bases are not built. The system is being held by a fleet. Kill the fleet and the base is dead. Things of that nature.
This will be a very destructive game. Play only if you understand that you "will" be losing ships fairly often. ALL and yes I mean all of S8 is out the window so no requirements on what is needed to have a ship in a fleet. Every single encounter MUST have a ship assigned unless you have no more ships to assign.
Opening turn you are required to build according to this and cover every single fight possible. Then as you lose ships and links to sectors things become less rigid.
A God has appeared in the Galaxy. He has taken over the minds of everyone by filling them with rage. People are still able to think. But they hate and despise all other races and even their own if someone else is in charge of them. Retreat is forbidden by our God. You can self-destruct if you do not want to fight. But that is your only way to avoid a conflict.  Two races enter. One leaves. Remember...No retreat.
Every turn you are REQUIRED to build ships to cover every single sector. So build accordingly. You have enough to build a cruiser. But need to build to cover 3 sectors. Corvettes anyone? The point is you build ships to cover every sector. If on the very rare possibility that this is impossible. You can leave a sector uncovered. But you must always cover if possible by building as cheaply as needed. Including dropping refits. No drone increases....so forth so one. 
This is nothing more than a weird off beat concept to see if we can force combat. Some fights should happen. Especially at first. Only normal standard races for this one. None of the dead races brought back or computer ones. 
So break out old school and think this out. I do not care if we play as all of the same race. Feel free to discuss this here. If there is enough interest we will see if you can make our new God happy with your pain and suffering and fighting for his glory. Who will be crowned Galactic High Priest?
