Ok, lets do some scenarios then.

The idea of placing the limits on number of ships is so that you end up with a game where you can use more ships.

Just seems kinda pointless to me to have three 98 point Gorn ships in my boosters and know that I'll never have them all in a game because a 300 point ...

Hmmmm, makes me think that the size limit idea I suggested to Silent Bob last night might work.

Essentially I suggested that you do the following:

1. Set the points value for the game.
2. Set a maximum points value per ship

or

1. Set the points value for the game.
2. Set a limit on the number of ...

Thanks for the advice guys, and thanks Steve for starting the thread.

As the player in question (i.e the one who currently sucks!) I'm interested to get other people's opinion on whether bigger ships are better?

I'm used to playing 'Babylon 5 A Call to Arms' and in that you really need smaller ...

Federation Commander in Swindon

SAD (Swindon and District) wargames club have just started playing Federation Commander.

Doug and Silent Bob are happy to take on all comers (I'm happy to just survive the encounter!!) :D

So if there are any gamers in the Swindon area who either already play, or want to learn a new game and be ...

Ok, thanks for that.

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

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!

Well, the carronade always hits

Plus, the feds and Gorn and Orions get carronade
I thought Romulans with Type F launchers also had that ability?

How to start playing (and avoid sucking!)

I've just started playing Federation Commander after a friend introduced me to it, and I'm having a few problems.

I've trying to learn how to play using Romulans and I'm getting my head beaten in!

Any advice on how to use Romulans better, or which race is easiest to learn with?
