Federation Commander

Thanks for the correction, Mike - I was confused thinking of the total COMPOT (including fighters).

Gotcha. I think I get it. Now, if I am the attacker, I can also direct damage the base. If I am attacking the base, and have 26 damage, I can criple it directly, right? If I have less than that, b ...

But do I have to use SIDS? A Kzinti base has a combat value of 12. So, to cripple it straight up, I need to do 24 points of damage. A SIDS step is 18 damage, correct? If I have enought damage, cou ...

If you are going to make an open- ended starter scenario, the one I want to see is a Fed/Klingon one-on-one war. Not the two-turn silliness presented in a CL a long time ago, but rather a full, open w ...

NRB handy, but I'll try to address your questions. Folks, please feel free to expand and/or revise this post.

So, I had a chance last night to play my first ever game of Federation and Empire. My ...

Gary Seven shops at my grocery store. So now what Mike?
Does he bring his cat with him? Laughing

This seems to be the justification for the Klingon dreads, which seem less useful to me otherwise than an equivalent weight of cruiser and battlecruiser sized ships. The extra hull and system boxes ma ...

My regular opponent and I finished up our FnE Historical campaign this evening. We started it in January of 2010 and played every other Sunday up until today. After 16 months, and about 160 hours of p ...

If you enjoy t ...

Given the hurry up production schedules during wartime (for gorn at least) I figure the War era would be the more plain.

Pre-war could be "Warp on the Wild Side"...

Worf - simply because for most of TNG he was used as a punching bag whenever the writers wanted to show how tough the Alien of the Week (tm) was.

In general, the TNG Klingons with ...

One guy wanted to suggest some rules for tanks, but i don't see how you maneuver a tank inside a starship.)

Boarding action on a Dominator? Shocked

Nice work.

I might mention that Matthew at Mongoose was mumbling something about a "black-painted fed squadron" and perhaps might enjoy seeing Federation squadrons in unusual paint scheme ...

If you're looking to travel with the figures, the Crystal Caste Battle Hive and Battle Hive II are anvil style cases that are rugged and substantial. They have "pick foam" layers for various ...

Klingon of Gor has it right - while an F5 is an easy squish, its not the threat the D6 or D7 is. The D6 is more fragile than the D7 but has the same heavy weapons load out, so by these numbers, the D6 ...
