IIRC from what i heard at GenCon it was something a couple of them started
developing CS on their own free time as sort of a "fun" project over lunch
at at night. You have to rember that number of the "oldtime" FASA people
are working over at FIT now and they all have a strong background in
minature games ALA Battletech from all the Mechcomander stuff they have
been working on. I just wished i had made time to actualy JOIN one of the
demos but i was to busy having fun doing other stuff and hanging out with
you all:). BTW have any of you been reading the serial stories they have
been publishing on the CS web page? Some of its good!
