Cosmic  Battles  is  a  tactical combat simulator based on the game
Cosmic  Balance©.  In the game, you design ships and send them into
combat.

There  are  two  distinct parts to the game.  The design lab, where
you  build  your  technological wonders; and the battle zone, where
you watch those wonders burn in space.

I have included some designs with the game.  You can edit them, but
you can not save them.  They are "locked" designs.  The designs are
from the six included scenarios in the game.
          
As I mentioned above, there are six included scenarios in the game.
These are Escape; Sector 12; Classic, which is the classic scenario
from  Cosmic  Balance©  between  the  Enterprise and Reliant; Gamma
Encounter,  which is a new scenario involving Star Trek® ships; The
Coal  Sack;  and  Escort.  If the references to Star Trek® begin to
give  anyone  ideas of suing me, then warn me first so I may strike
the  references  from this game.  I am not in the business of being
sued.
               
"If  regulations are not clear and orders not thoroughly explained,
it  is  the commander's fault.  But when they have been made clear,
and  are  not  carried out in accordance with military law, it is a
crime  on  the part of the officers."
