thats true, guess hes using gorns then. need to get myself romulan space to see what they can do.
still undecided on seltorians or tholians myself, most likely the tholians.

I still want to know where in the rules it says Rom's can't use the cannonade.

The rules say 'Gorns, Orions and some other empires'.
We are Romulan's and we have an Empire, so I'd say we qualify!

The comunique's specify that if the rules don't say you can't do something, you can't do it. e.i. my base 27 hexes away from the ship hit with the drone will tractor the drone for it.

Only the Federation, Gorns, and Orions may use the Carronade. The Romulans and ISC may not.

This was clarified in the Briefing #1 rulings section. Follow the link and search for (4J4c).

Ok, thanks for that.

Any plans to amalgamate all the rulings from the separate communiques/ briefings into one place?

Actually, that is what the Briefing #1 was intended to do. It brings (almost) all of the rulings from Rev4 of the rules up to date. (Rev4 is the latest version of the Klingon Border rule book and only version of the Romulan Border rule book.)

Eventually, there will be a consolidated Rev5 rule book, but that is still a ways into the future.

It may well be that ADB would consider another product for Federation Commander that would not include ship cards, counters, or maps. It could be the Rev. 5 rulebook. It could perhaps even include some new scenarios...
