Yes, the Babylon 5 tabletop space combat game featured in The Earthforce Sourcebook was written by Tuffy, and is based on his game Full Thrust.

@nyrath @nikink @evildrganymede Jon Tuffley. It was one of the few games at the time that even attempted vector movement.

@nyrath @nikink @evildrganymede The other B5 game - the one with the hexes made of 7 sub-hexes - was weird in a wonderfully unique way. The scale was just so bizarre, with firing arcs that mattered by it took forever to turn around ... you could more easily just keep on going across the galaxy than you could turn around to reinforce things back home a hex or so behind you. It made you think about strategy in weird ways.
