Federation Commander

Thanks for sharing this with us. Sounds like the D6 really got unlucky with his die rolls! Sometimes that can be really annoying as you keep wondering how it might have turned out if you'd all rolled ...

Happy New Year to all from myself too! I did indeed get something FC for Christmas, in this case Booster #4.

Sorry, still confused.

Here are the possible cases.

1) Neither ship accelerates.. Nobody moves and nobody has the possibility

2) Both Ships accelerate. Nobody moves and nobody has the p ...

I think where it says it "cancels its movement" by decelerating, it doesn't so much cancel a move that would have physically happened on the board, but cancels the effect of the decelerting ...

1) Yes, this situation will only occur if both the tractoring and tractored ships have spent the same amount of energy on their baseline movement.

I was 15 when I started playing SFB..it took until I was 39 to figure it out.

LOL

I think I was about 13 when I started playing SFB, but I never really got the hang of the advanced rules, and to ...

Thanks Zero, I'm really glad you're enjoying the game. It's good to see people who wouldn't necessarily try SFB willing to pick up FC - this is in part what FC is all about, as it's designed to be mor ...

I wasn't aware of this either. Sounds like it might be interesting though... Smile

16 for speed...

Also the Lyran started at speed 24, forgot to mention that!

I think also Kang made a minor mistake in closing to range 10-12 in the first place, rather than firing at 14-15 and ...
