New Wing Commander Fan RPG Pops Up

Antman has opened a new RPG for Wing Commander fans to participate in. They have focused on three reference points to focus on: the Panama Wargames, the Gemini Conflict and K'Tithrak Mang. They have done some preliminary setting up at their forums here. This role playing game allows people to pose as characters and ship who play their positions across the various forums. This differ from other Wing Commander RPGs that mainly choose irc or email to carry out their stories.

In the Panama System, Confed is holding wargames involving elements of both the 3rd and 14th Fleets. However, this exercise is not like the standard fleet exercises, as a new element is added. This is a hypothetical weapon dubbed a "torpedo", which is light enough to carry on bombers, which can penetrate phase shielding. Hence, Blue Fleet trades off battleships for carriers. Red Fleet will be unaware of the "torpedo" to both avoid custom tailoring of the task force for anti-bomber work, and to simulate newly gathered intelligence.
