Thats right. The Romulans had two types of PFs. I remember the ones that look like little birds of prey, others that looked like sparrowhawks..... |

I don't so much mind fighters, except that they lead to carriers.
And I don't even mind carriers so much, except that they lead to escort ships. And carrier battle groups.
The concept of escorts ... |

Don't know if this helps, but both times I orderd from ADB, they sent me refunds for half the postage costs. |

Sounds good to me! Makes sense. That is why in my previous encounter, the DW was crippled and forced to disengage. Same result. |

Yes. I agree.
Nowhere does it say: " In order to win, the Romulan player must capture the base. Any other result is a Federation Victory." It does say to use the point system, howeve ... |

It says; use the point value victory system (8B2).
Just do not give the Fed player any points unless the Romulan ship disengages, or is destroyed, or captured.
The Fed DW must start 35 hexes f ... |

According to the scenario rules you can't win if you don't capture the base, also the fed ship need only stay at the base to concentrate its firepower on the incoming romulan to win. Which is basicall ... |

I still want to see gunboats (but no tenders) in the main game. Fighters, carriers, tenders, and such can all the rest can be left in Borders of Madness. But I would like to see gunboats (as mini ship ... |

I'd love to have the rules for both fighters and PFs from all races. Would also like to have ships cards for the ships that fielded them. Get them all worked out and put them in Borders of Madness.. ... |

this topic just came up. I played this one a few weeks back. I was the Romulans. I never had any intention of capturing the base. Romulans won a substantial victory, just doing internals to the base, ... |

My only problem with fighters and gunboats is that they would never find a crew. As attrition units they die so quickly you would have to be demented to step into one. Half the mission reports I read ... |

I know there is some resistance to Fighters and Pseudo Fighters in FC. I agree with most of the arguments. They do add considerable time to the game, especially drone equiped fighters and the CV class ... |
