Complete Simple Sector Assault and Dev diary

This Simple Sector Assault that began on 1109.13 was just intended as a
casual play-through. It involved into a fairly evolutionary playtest for
Fantasy Trek. I realized that I wasn't subjecting shipyards to the
every-other-turn random attack. So I realized that I needed a turn log. That
progressed pretty well until what I thought was going to be the end. Then a
random attack against KSY1 by three Fed Ca's was successful. They ran up the
blue flag, and built their own shipyard. I realized at that point that the
"AI" in Fantasy Trek that exists as a result of the random rules had finally
taken a big step on its own and forced me to adapt the game to suit. I
realized that I needed to make this a head-to-head challenge. While the
original Simple Sector Assault was, as the name says, simple, and playable
in a pretty casual manner, it tended to be a bit one-sided and lacking in
strategy. So Head-to-Head Sector Assault will have its own rules, points
system (Shipyards: 5(max), Fleet size: 6 (max), Reinforcement capacity: 6
(max) ) and Victory Conditions (be the first to conquer and hold 5 systems
and attain 13+ VC points).
The rules are essentially the same, with slight changes in the
shipyard/reinforcement areas. I'll play them through and report here. And of
course if any of you lurkers is intrigued, let me know, and once I get over
the shock, I'll send you the rules as they are so you can help to playtest
it through.
Here are the turn logs for this lengthy but valuable simple sector assault
