Federation Commander

I have to say absolute kudos to Steve Cole for creating such an amazing set of ships and scenario for Comm. #144, and that on the back of recovering from his recent illness - well done mate! Much appreciated.

Sgt G, I love how you have your Real medal ribbons as part of your sig. That's pure class, mate

Yes, that's correct. No matter how many points hit the shield, if the shield does not go completely down, one point of burnthrough is scored. You can have a maximum of one burnthrough point per volley.

Great, thanks. And once again, well done

My first impression with these rules are that things are getting too complex....especially with things like that 'a legitimate target' - is the target not declared on launch like it would be from a ship?

And if this sort of thing can be done with fighter 'drone swarms', why not with those from a ...

Just found this, it's great thanks! Could you tell me what font you used, please? I really like it!

On the subject of Special Sensors, though (Rule 5S), I note that the Special Sensors do not confer extra drone control channels. IIRC, Special Sensors in SFB *do* confer extra drone control, but apparently not in FC.

So the Agincourt would need the named ship exception to the standard 6-drone ...

Quite a busy year for everyone, then.

Thanks for the replies, folks!

Hi Jean - thanks for all the work you've put in on this. Please can I ask, though - you mention that 'The year of this battle group is 2575'; why is this important for a Federation Commander scenario, when refits etc. are not part of the plan? Thanks

Excellent, thanks Mike. I'm glad he's doing it right, because as I said above it's a clever trick. I guess I have never had the opportunity to pull a ship out of a web, so that's why I didn't know about that rule!

About the rule sequence not being in the Andromedans' favour, well if the frigate can ...

Clever trick, although I'm not sure how legal it is, in that if the frigate is stopped, how can it pull the mothership through the web? You can't do 'tractor rotation' in FC, y'see, so the frigate could not 'pull' the mothership through - it could only do it during a movement phase. Could you ...

Agreed

Hehe cool

And if you're playing on the kitchen table, try not to get porridge on the game board. It will spoil it.

IIRC the Neutral Zone is about 50 light-years deep. That's one heck of a lot of 10,000km hexes.....
