Tony just sent me a lot of files for Book Three. I'm not sure if I have all of it or some of it. It's third in line behind the hard copy of ACTA reinforcements and FC Gunboats Attack.

Awesome! Good to hear that this is still going.
@ Tony, I'm trying to get a playtesting group together again but at the moment I'm still playing ACTA with a few people. Maybe early next year...

Was just thinking about this since its been a while. Nice to see the progress

It's in my email in-box but I am doing GUNBOATS ATTACKED first. I did ACTASFR1pe before starting on Gunboats. I think I'll have finished my part of gunboats in a week or two.

Gunboats for FC, ooh yeaaah. That's gonna be nice.

Speaking of book three having fighters, will it have fighters, bombers, and gunboats? Or rather like.. all types of "Fighter type" craft ?

By Andrew Schwenzer (Andrew_Cluetain) on Friday, February 24, 2023 - 11:50 am: Edit

Probably just Fighters, Gunboats are book 4 if I remember correctly. Don't know if 3/4 space bombers are planned for anything yet, as they are rarely used beyond planet defense.

Deleted by author.

Book 3 has a single Strike Fighters for each Empire. F18 for Feds ZYC for most the Coalition Empires.

Gunboats are for Book4 maybe we can convince Tony to put Attack Fighters in ACTASFR2. I hoping we will include those and an Pre/Early War Fighter. Double Fighters maybe or it will be Book4.
