Best foreign language TV that I couldn't understand a word of was a Sunday morning (afternoon?) televised Go event in Japan with commentary....a Japanese man, woman and a western man doing the commentary and discussing strategy/future moves as each move was made.And Go puzzles are waaaaaay more fun than Chess puzzles.
I always felt that FC was just one more way for Cole eek out more cash from his Paramount license. I've been a SFB player since I was 12, but the whole production shift really irked me. You really like it more?Federation Commander. It's Star Fleet Battles done right with all the drudgery and excess complexity removed. It retains the flavor of SFB, but allows for a cruiser vs cruiser battle to finish in an hour or even a full fleet vs fleet battle in a day. The only problem is that I feel the plasma races have been gimped.
It's rules are simple but the strategy is complex. Here's two places you can play for free online: itsyourturn.com and dragongoserver.net. Dragon is unlimited play, itsyourturn nonmember are limited to 15 moves a day. Even the GROFAZ, Bendis plays GO.I have never played GO
I have...but my wife insists on adding "...**** yourself" It isn't a particularly fun game...I have never played GO

Cool. I have been playing this recently at our local wargaming get-together. It is a fun and clever game. But you might want the more experienced player to take the Wallies...Liberty Roads from Hexasim in France is going on the table right now....
