One thing I've learned is to not pay attention the the "age limit"

Games are considered toys so to be rated under 13, they have to do bunches and bunches of testing. Lots of games are 13+ because the manufacturer didn't get the testing to prove the pieces could be eaten by children, stuffed up ...

If it's a scenario, I'd suggest using a commando ship. You can say the barracks have been very lavishly modified to suit the diplomat's status. Cut the marines down to reflect just his guard force and some marines.

Thx.

I'm working a pretty lengthy tactics article on Tholians and wanted to make sure one of the tactics was possible.

If I wasn't reading the sequence right, I'd have to drop that particular section.

Thx again.

I think this one got lost during the holidays. Anyone know if the above sequence of play is right?

Cards as low-cost miniatures?

SVC, et. al.,

Have you heard of Battleground Fantasy Warfare by Your Move Games?

http://www.yourmovegames.com/#!copy-of-battleground/cu0c

The business model is to allow people who can't afford miniatures or who hate painting miniatures to have tabletop miniature battles. The cards also function ...

The little dots coming off the Tholian DD are my "puny disruptors"

Here it is. He added the photons because "I fired those, too"

Game 2:

Added overloads, acceleration, and drones.

The mini-me gave me overloaded photons at range 5 and missed!

Next turn, I let him close and he popped my weapons with his phasers.

My overloaded disruptors did a number on him, but all I had left was engines. Literally, everything else was ...

Web Caster - Sequence of Play

Do I have this sequence right?

Resolve Direct Fire
Activate Free-Standing Web (from previous impulse)
Remove Free-Standing Web that has expired
Cast Web
Linear Web that was just cast activates

I got most from the FC rulebook, but FC doesn't specify exactly when expired web is removed. The SFB ...

MJ,

Thanks for the ruling, we needed it. For the rest...

No one ever used "the rules don't say you can't" as the argument. If I gave that impression, it was not my intent. Since you're usually not so pointed in your responses, I'm going to assume there was a miscommunication somewhere. To attempt ...

Web Snare & Evasive Maneuvers

Can you use a web snare while using evasive maneuvers?

I can't find anything that specifically says yes or no. We're having different opinions on interpreting what is written.

The weapon faction: It's a weapon so it can't be used.

The web faction: You can't lay web so it can't be used.

Thanks!

That is what I was thinking of. Sometimes those SFBism's stick around and get corrupted into something new. :)

Tholian Phasers

For some reason I thought Tholians could only fire phasers through 1 web hex. After reading the rules today, I noticed the rules say that Tholians can fire phasers through web hexes. It doesn't mention a limit on the number of web hexes that can be fired through.

Not sure where I got the idea from ...

1st Game with the boy

Had my first game with the mini-me. He's 8. I wasn't sure he would be able to play, but he's been bugging me for at least 2 years to play, so I figured it might be time. He wanted the "Enterprise" so I took a Tholian destroyer just because.

1st Turn was basic movement with phasers & DAMCON (no ...
