Federation Commander

While I entirely agree with MJW as to how the rules are written, I want to add my support to the question raised by Patrick Doyle.

There is a subtle, but significant, difference here that no one ha ...

Saved,

I own it, it currently is packed into my Federation Commander traveling boxes. As SVC has stated before, it was done by Task Force Games with (If I remember correctly) no input from ADB. I ...

I also read it that way.

The Tractoring ship must MATCH the negative tractoring bids (so they would cancel each other out) so that the ONE point of power to start the tractor would win out

Ok people, I know I understand both points of view, and I think everyone else does also.

We are talking about rules to a game like they are laws.

as an absurd example:

Two players could sit d ...

First, this should be reworded as FC has no "Direct Fire Phase" we have an Offensive Fire Phase.
Good point. I will remember that.

You are welcome. Thank you for your hard work.

Mjwest,

If your reply was directed towards me, Yes I understand that continuing EM into another turn is not a change. Sorry if my prior post seemed like I was shocked.

Junior, as per your suggestion over there, I agree that making Evasive Maneuver declaration in the " ...

My guesses as to the answers (and reasoning) -

1.) I don't think that the rules allow this. So far as I can tell, the only time that you can declare EM is in the Defensive Fire Phase. So if you ...

Mike,

That is unclear. I was going to ask that along with other questions.

Rule 2D4a states:

"Engery cost: At the end of the Defensive Fire Phase (1E2c) of any Impulse, you may announce ...

I am disappointed in the new ruling. Sad

I know and completely understand while this forum APPEARS a democracy, this is SVC's game and such his choice.

I felt that with the debate ongoing we sh ...

I just wanted to announce that I am heading up a group that runs weekly play every Wednesday night at:

Ok, since I started using the soap box... Very Happy

First, I'll admit that junior's point of Evasive Maneuvers being an emergency crutch is valid. It has even eased my own opinions on this topic.

To address mjwest's point on Federation Commander being built around "Act and React" using junior's D7 vs Ranger example:

The D7 closes to a 5 hex range and declares offensive fire (Kling ...
