Re: SPELLJAMMER digest 278

	I once ran the adventure in the module that has all the short
adventures.  I believe it was Skull and Crossbows.  The scenario was that
mantis warriors were headed for the Rock of Bral.  We had an opportunity
to convince them not to attack, but failed diplomatically.  So, it was
maybe two or three leaf ships (these, as I recall, were similar to
hammerships).  The leaf ships each had two or four "pods", which were
tiny ships that launched from the main ship.  Our ship was a modified
scorpion.  The Rock of Bral sent several ships, maybe four or five.  We
also had a rainbow dragon on board.  We didn't know this, and it was
polymorphed and in hiding.  When battle began, it for some reason came
out, and we had to fight the dragon as well.  Quite a battle.

	The module Dark Fist also had a huge space battle when you attack
the main planet.  You are in a gigantic war, and I recall the section of
the war that we were in having at least 8 vessels.

	I like massive war battles.  The Rock of Bral fight was similar to
playing one of the strategy board games, where the party had control of
our ship and the Bral ships, and could use the different ship
characteristics to form a strategic defense or attack formation.  It
takes a long time (I think the Bral fight took about 10 hours), but I
enjoy this much more to using the War Captains shortcuts.
