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 ... |

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 ... |

I dont think that is a house rule. Isnt that in the core rules of the game for plasma weapons?
I think the reason Kang queried it is that plasma-F weapons start off fully charged, loaded and ready ... |

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

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 ... |
