 ====== Full Thrust Scenarios ======
-The following are some scenarios beyond a simple 'meet and and destroy'.
+Full Thrust is an incredibly flexible system, and players can build pretty much any type of fleet that they want. However, this means that games can sometimes be a bit unbalanced if players bring completely different fleets. A simple 'meet and destroy' game can also mean it's easy to optimise a fleet for that sort of battle.
+In our experience, a small number of large vessels with low manoeuvrability and lots of big long ranged weapons can easily destroy a more manoeuvrable fleet of many smaller craft.
+The point of these scenarios then, are to:
+  * Put restrictions on the make up of fleets, so players can bring fleets which are vaguely similar in style.
+  * Provide an advantage for manoeuvrability over stationary gun platforms.
+  * Include objectives beyond the simple destruction of the enemy, which may require different tactics and a need for specialist ships.
 ===== Common Rules =====
+These scenarios assume use of these [[rules]], though this isn't required.

+==== Destruction Points ====
+Escorts: Whoever gets the killing blow gets the point for destroying it, regardless of how much they or anyone else has actually done.
+Cruisers: 1pt for the second threshold, 1pt when they are destroyed.
+Capital Ships: One point each time they are forced over a threshold, including a point when they are destroyed. Ships with advanced hulls give 2 points on destruction. Gives a total of 4 points.
