Re: A (general) question about tactics

Is it my imagination, or do tactics boil down to: Close to point blank and fire everything?

Well the Feds like to do that since it makes the most of their overloaded Photon torpedoes.

There is a lot more to the game than just that though. The Kzinti certainly don't do that sort of things nor do ...

Running Adrift change

I assume that it is too late to rename Running Adrift to just Adrift?

The phrase 'Running Adrift' implies movement which is just not the case in the rules.

So don't set it off next to an asteroid field :-) Gotcha

I should have been clearer.

If I am outside an asteroid field but the Ram radius overlaps the area of the asteroid field terrain does it interact with the asteroids?

I am not targeting something in it just flying close to but outside it

ESG and asteroid field question

If I use an ESG Ram outside of an asteroid field that is an area terrain piece does it interact with the asteroids or is it only if I am in the field?

Area of Effect

Offensive ESG use

It doesn't say it explicitly but is the Offensive Mode of the ESG only usable in the Combat Phase? Or can I declare an Offensive Mode burst at the end of the movement phase?

I am going to assume, for the sake of my game, that I can't use it in the Movement Phase and will have to use the Ram mode ...

ACTASF playtest game 3

Getting started with another playtest game. This time it is Lyrans v Kzinti. No fighters as I want to wait for the new draft and I also want to test ESGs against drones
