(PB1.0) PBEM STANDARD RULES

    This is a listing of the different rules which are normally used (or not used) when playing PBEM SFB. These are not all-inclusive, as you and your opponent can decide to use more (or less) of the rules than those listed here. These rules are simply the standard ones used if no others are specified.

(PB1.1) RULES FOR STANDARD GAMES (NON-TOURNAMENT): Unless agreed upon prior to game start, the following rules will be used. These are considered "PBEM STANDARD" and will be the assumed rules during the game.

  • ALL Basic, Advanced, and Commander’s level rules from the Captain’s Basic & Captain’s Advanced Missions Rulebooks.
    • EXCEPTION: Electronic Warfare will be limited to the Standard EW rules as shown in (D6.3). These are; Terrain (P0.0), Wild Weasels (J3.0) and Small Target Modifiers (E1.7). No other EW Rules are used in PBEM STANDARD games.
  • ALL Basic, Advanced, and Commander’s level rules from expansions you or your opponents may be using races from.
  • PBEM MOVEMENT (PB5.34) will be used in place of the movement options listed in section C of the SFB Captain’s Rulebook. In cases where (PB5.34) does not cover the movement rule, the Captain’s Rulebook will be used.
  • NO RULE LISTED AS OPTIONAL will be used with the exception of (D6.5) Ubitron Interface Modules.

    Note that these are the standard rules, and are intended to help speed game setup and play. Other rules can be used with the mutual agreement of both Players and the Moderator, and there is no penalty for doing so.

(PB1.2) PBEM TOURNAMENT GAMES: If you are playing a Tournament Duel (whether in an actual Tournament, or just dueling for the fun of it) then Tournament Rules (as spelled out in Captain’s Module T) will be used. See Module T for the list. NOTE: A special waiver for authorization to run Rated Ace PBEM Tournaments can only be obtained directly from Steve Cole.

(PB1.3) PLAYTEST GAMES: Playtest games use the Standard Rules, as modified by specifications in the playtest scenario.
