Federation Commander

Do I have the following correct? Plasma torpedoes fired in seeking mode roll one die per torpedo. So, for a plasma S fired at 8" range at the side of a target with a max speed of 12" and n ...

While the Battle Station in ACTA seems a bit plain, I've been pondering rules for Starbases that would make them more than just a bigger version of the Battle Station. While not invincible, a Starbas ...

The Juggernaught has to kill the Fed quick, cause he has the most crunch power. the next target is the D7C, unless the Tholian CA is using a partial photon load. the CR is always the last target.

I lost. We had exactly 5 people so we didn't need to substitute ships. We played the scenario from Klingon Border, which starts the battle with the alliance players at 15 hexes from the Juggernaut, ...

We are talking the FC version, right?
Yes. My question isn't whether it can be reinforced by SFB means. The question is whether I have to allocate all power I want at the beginning of the turn, or ...

Well, I volunteered. I've got CL #41, and one thing still confuses me. The rules say the rotating shield cannot be reinforced. Does this mean that you allocate power to the shield at the beginning ...

I think B#2 is what is meant. PDFs of Module Prime Alpha (for Prime Directive) and Klingon Armada ship record sheets are already on sale. AFAIK no FC products are available as PDFs yet. IDK why B2 is ...

It won't happen in 2010.

We'll see how PDF sales of Briefing #2 go.

Do you mean Briefing #3? Isn't it hard to judge whether PDF sales are viable if it is an existing product? Or am I missing ...

I wonder if the ISC booster will give some people the idea (or reinforce it) that the booms are the engines and that the ships are "backwards" since the other fleets are presented as flying ...

I've played this scenario both in SFB (long time ago) and in FC, and recall the SFB battle felt more 'balanced'. In FC, the default KR is the same as the SFB KRB which has reinforced shields and plas ...

Thanks for the info! I will be sure to screen the old counters to be sure
I don't bring any obsolete values into the new game.
Hey, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one in the area interested in it ...

I think the problem is that once the rules are in an electronic form, someone will post them somewhere and then the cat is out of the bag - there's no way to pull them back. Given that it has been po ...

Doh! If I had just managed to see the last line of Steve's post, I would have realized they are two separate functions. Thanks.

Is this effect in addition to the damage it causes to small units within 2 hexes, or instead of? In other words, is this a separate mode to defensive fire against small units, or is it a combined eff ...

The next scheduled meet is for Saturday February 28th at Games-Plus in Mt. Prospect at 1 PM.
