That's a good suggestion to spilt out the minis.

Kind of a sad thread I know, but hopefuly they'll all end up in a good home and see lots of play!

So maybe I'm pricing this too low? Well, I can always place it up for auction and see what happens. I think at this point its way too tough to try and break it up. I think my paint jobs were pretty good, maybe that will be worth it to someone. Thanks!

Haven't played in eons.

Federation Commander is a grand game and over time I've accumulated quite a collection. And while it's been fun firing photons and phasers, I have to admit it's been a very very long time since I played. On the one hand this is partly due to my circumstances, having limited time available; on the ...

Well, I'm up for a rematch. I'll try the slow approach and try to end it with a bang. (ESG, not me exploding!)

Lyrans vs Federation

So I played a Lyran vs. a Fed ship one on one and the Lyran took 4 overloaded Photons and an assortment of Phasers right down the throat! Boom!

Now, granted the Lyran did some damage in return but nothing like what it received. So my question is do you do a Lyran saber dance like a Klingon because ...

Thanks for all the suggestions. Looks like this has been other's experiance as well.

I guess my point is that in a free for all situation it just makes sense to use the cloak and avoid direct conflict by design . Romulan ships are under gunned compare to other races and the cloak is what evens them ...

Do the Romulans diminish the fun???

I’ve played three games now with Romulans, and I’m either not using them right, or else I think they might just be my least favorite race in the whole game. Now keep in mind I’m describing a free for all style game, not a scenario using Romulans, so the situation may be quite different when ...

That sounds very cool. So is this a stand alone product, or do you fight out individual battles using normal FC, then go over to Fed Admiral and track progress, and switch back and forth?

Up coming Products

I'm very excited about Hydran attack getting released soon. And I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I'd like a bit more info on the other items.
Have the specific ships for Booster Packs #25, #26, #27 been listed anywhere?

Also, having never played a "campaign" game, what exactly ...

Thanks, I figured that was the case. Are these playtest ships available in a Communiqué somewhere?

Reference Rule Book Ion Typo?

I was looking through the rules on Ion Cannons last night and got confused by the damage values in the weapons chart. If I remember right, (I don't have the book in front of me,) it showed 2-6, 2-3, & 12 for the Damage. Shouldn't it be 6, 3, & 12? Also anyone know where playtest Vuldar Ship cards ...

Other than the new ships and scenarios what else is in B2? I just went to my local store and ordered the R5 rulebook; I'm trying to decide if I'm going to get this too.

I really like "MajerBlundor's" suggestions to teach with only the map and counters. (Or minis.)

I'm doing two things for my next game where I teach new players. But I suppose it’s a bit extreme considering all the custom play aids I've made.

1)Using Excel I created new weapons charts for each ...

Does anyone do anything to give the bottom of the plastic mini stand more weight?
