Federation Commander

If you can get map panels again, please use them. They are far far superior to paper maps.

Thanks for the replies!
I'll give some primer a try, I need and excuse to get a new can of the stuff anyway.
The worry about loss of detail is why I didn't get the polished one, thanks for letting me know. I guess I'll judge each model on detail/price, as some better detail casts are cheaper. I ...

Two questions:
Is there a good European source of Star Trek decals that work on the Federation Commander miniatures?

Second, on Shapeways there are a bunch of options for detail/material. What is the best option in terms of quality to price? I got a few minis in 'white strong & flexible', and ...

How do we properly report playtest results? I had one game with Rom vs Gorn (me with Roms, a brand new player with Gorns), and the cloak was useful because of the new rules. He launched too far out, I was able to slow down and cloak at the start of the next turn to get rid of plasmas.

Try Black Hat Miniatures. The owner seems to be a big FC fan, and stocks stuff. I've had good luck ordering from him in the past.

Thank you! I think ...

Hi all,

I'm going to be running a 3-5 player game of FedCom at a convention pretty soon. To keep it fast-paced and action packed, it will be an all-on-all scenario where people start in a DD, then get a CA when the DD dies, then get a DN (I have 4 hours, so a fair while).
The one point I would like ...

Thanks! I'll give these tips a try first chance I get.

So first off, I haven't played this matchup yet in FC, but I have a bit in SFB. One of the people I play with is just starting, but seems to like the Hydrans. I am quite fond of the Klingons, despite their weaknesses, but I am totally unsure what to do against hellbores. Your agility does nothing ...

I just want to add to this.
I've ordered a few things over the past couple of months from Mike at Black Hat Miniatures, and I have been very impressed with his service!
