Pins and Strings of the Atlantic Chase
by
“Keep then the sea that is the wall of England;
And then is England kept by Goddes hande.”
– Bishop Adam de Moleyns, The Libel of English Policie, c. 1436
In the Bishop’s day, the launching of a vessel from port or quay promised momentous anticipation. Crossing an ocean the likes of the Atlantic was the ambition of the arrogant or the insane, and lesser voyages could prove hazardous even in cooperative weather. Even there, however, a crew’s fate could only be waited for by those left behind. Once a topmast slipped beneath the sea’s horizon on the leg out, the shore-bound entered a pitiable state of not-knowing the where and when of vessel and crew. Indeed, weeks could stretch into months before word or post arrived.

Since there is much crossover between the Space Empires and Talon development teams, both Space Empires and Talon articles will be featured in this series.
Issue #44 Changes to Technology Reveals (Part 2)
As part of my work as the Developer of Space Empires: Replicators I was tasked by Jim to come up with a more detailed Sequence of Play than what was in the base game. We had added a lot of technology and steps in the turns that were not covered by the base game rules and a new Sequence of Play was needed to make sure there was no confusion as to when in a given turn certain things occurred.
This article is a continuation of Issue #42. It can be found here.
