Keeping track of turn modes is easier if you use the turn/slip markers.

I dont use the turn/slip markers as it makes the map completely cluttered and very confusing to work out what is going on. A ...

Nice report Kang. Loved Paul's counters - are they scanned in from the megahex counters then mounted on the card?

Afraid not. I mailed on the forum a while back asking for scans of the ships. SV ...

I've ruled that if a photon tube gets damaged whilst it was pre-loaded, or even loaded, the torpedo in there is lost and once repaired, you have to start over again.

I'm also tempted to rule the sa ...

I do agree though that the way the rulebook describes this is not entirely clear

Surprise, Surprise. Seriously, with all the communique's, rules updates, briefing #1, etc, I really wish someone wo ...

The way I have interpreted the rules is that all HET's are done at the start of a sub-pulse, before anything actually moves.

If 2D2a suggests that you can do a HET in a sub-pulse when you arent sch ...

1) Smaller Fed or Bigger Klingon. Smile

But I'm guessing this is not the answer you are looking for. To keep more in what I perceive to be the spirit of the scenario...

Mike has suggested that queries on the rules of scenarios should be posted in here.

So, based on my email in the general discussion forum, I am moving the "relevant bits" to this area. A ...

From what I remember, this is another "quirk" in the rules Smile

When a drone impacts: You can first use ADD, then if that doesnt work, use phasers, and finally whn all else fails tractor it ...

I think the reason Kang queried it is that plasma-F weapons start off fully charged, loaded and ready ...

Excellent report Tony. I wish more people would post their scenario reports on here Smile

In addition, the game was played using some interesting hybrid mini stands/counters, of which I’m hoping t ...

Last night, 6 Gorn marines beamed over to a Large Freighter to try and take control of it. Because there are no marines on board the frieghter, it was just a case of scoring 4 casualty hits, since th ...

We played 8K3 last night, and the attackers wanted to know if they could tractor the suicide freighter and drag it along behind them. We said no, since I feared they could just drag it along at speed ...

Are you saying that the energy for the 4 impulses of cloak does come out of the energy they get for turn 1?

If this is the case, then it doesnt really make a difference game-wise.
If they pre-pay ...

The note about cloaking is there to say they have spent the power. It doesn't mean they have to stay under cloak. It just means they start under cloak, and have spent the power for four impulses of cl ...

I think Paul's tactic was a good one

In retrospect, I played it completely wrong! What I should have done (I think) is run away for 4 turns as best I could. Simply looking at the points values, t ...
