Federation Commander

I was watching a game last night between the Andromedans and the Klingons, and a question arose that didn't seem to be covered in the War and Peace rules.

If a Satellite Ship is sitting in the hang ...

Well, in fairness, the answer changed.

This was asked at a different point, and there was a much longer discussion on it. (I couldn't find it. It might have been on the Legacy BBS.) My initial answ ...

I killed all the men

Nope. You keep the men alive. If you're feeling charitable, then you release them. If you're not, then you ask their employer for a ransom payment.

Why is it not legal?

In this case pretty much because Mike - who is second only to SVC himself when it comes to resolving Fed Com rules questions - has decided to define this particular grey area i ...

You'd need to create two sets of overlays, though, as you'd need one for each hex size and that's not something that can be made reversible.

While we've only seen playtest rules for the Vudar and ISC, SVC has stated on multiple occasions (including within the last month or two) that the plan is for the Andromedans to be in War and Peace. ...

I'm a geek and fully understand the attraction of something like sub-pulses from a geek perspective: we geeky wargame grognards perceive the higher granularity as being more "accurate" and i ...

Or in other words, those NDDs and NFFs may have been running around with dreadnought firepower (actually, probably less than that) but they were still just frigates and destroyers. One good volley fr ...

Giving up fractional energy would be a deal breaker for me. It effectively removes the entire point of having phaser-3s (and horribly screws up Gatling Phasers). And the sub-pulse system is the hear ...

You can only launch one shuttle - and if you do so then you can't recover a shuttle that impulse. The only exception to this rule is the Hydran Stinger, which is assumed to have specialized launch tu ...

There's a rule in Starfleet Battles called 'Narrow Salvoes' that allows weapons of the same type to be fired using just one die roll.

It's also banned in the official tournaments, iirc.

When talking about Hydran ships of a certain size class (and smaller than a BCH), you need to mention whether you're referring to a Hellbore ship or a Fusion ship. In this case, it appears that you'r ...

the key word was "stubby"...

Once again, I'm not sure how that matters.

I'll take "stubby" over "hulking" when discussing how much of a target I present any day of ...

They are also easier to hit (They are Short and Stubby)

Er... the smaller race is easier to hit? How does that work, exactly? The easiest races to hit would be the Gorn and Kzinti, as they're by ...
