HopefulRomantic-
I already left the topic. Note that I haven't posted here for days.
Probably not gonna come back to this site again either.
Bet that'll made XYZ pretty happy.

^^ It takes two people to have a fight, son. Just sayin.' If you don't want to argue, you might try... not arguing. Unless you're the good Dr. McCoy, getting the last word is overrated, IMHO.

Since you haven't left yet, why not look around? This is a pretty big board, with lots of cubbyholes to explore and nice people to talk to.

If anyone cares to get this thread back on track, that would be lovely.

Either ignore the 'Balance of terror's ~'we never saw romulans' one-liner

Or take the line into account and build the storyline accordingly.

That's where the Remans might actually come in handy, all head-on fighting was done against them, whilst the Romulans commanded things from a distance.

I'm thinking that events during the war could be seen during some episodes, showing what the crew did and the impact it had on them.

Something like the regular use of flashbacks in the series Highlander perhaps?

Having never seen Highlander I couldn't say, but flashbacks would be a useful story device. The Pilot would need to start with the final battle of the war, things then go from there.

Sorry I'm late to this party...haven't read through the whole thread but a difference would be to make it Earth's war and not The Federations. Also to make it stick more with what was said in BOT "Atomic ships" scrounged up because a true fleet can't be assembled in tome. That sort of thing.

Use tactics seen in hardcore Sci-Fi books...relativity ships, near light-speed tactics. Near light-speed missles.

Well doesn't the ENT relaunch mention how Romulan ground troops wore full-body masked black armor to conceal their appearance? Maybe that could somehow be a useful story factor in a Romulan War TV series because Jem'hadar don't wear masks.

That might be too much like the Breen.

I don't recall the Breen being involved in ground combat in DS9 though. Plus if the Romulans appeared in more than 10 episodes, that would be an improvement over the Breen.
