NAM2/SC2

I am aiming to release the first stable Beta-test version of NAM2 by late-February ( as I need to recreate, from my paper and/or mental notes, the files I lost in my August '99 hard drive crash) on this website.  It is will run on Microsoft's Windows98/ME operating system ( with the possiblity of a Linux version to follow).

Everything currently on this page is compatible with both FFE's Star Cruiser, and my NAM2/SC2 rules/programming project.
