I was very rusty and the situation compounded by bringing Briefing #2 instead of the consolidated rulebook...not to mention all my ship cards are the obsolete versions.
Still, it was very, very fun!
First game was more training/refresher. Klingon F5 vs Romulan Snipe and the first time I've seen plasma in the FC universe. I under the Romulans frustration with seeking plasma as I easily out ran the G and F-torps fired at me in my speedy F5.
Lessons learned by all though and it does have its uses. Had it been fired at me as I closed in the Snipe wouldn't had been as pummeled.
Second game was more training refresher with us teaming up as Romulans against a Planet Killer. I commanded a KR while my coworker commanded a King Eagle. The PK was controlled by both of us with a blend of rules from SFB and FC.
At one point I rolled poorly and screwed myself; identifying me as the target in that instance and ate four Ph4s at four hexes.
Ow.
My ship and I survived and landed two S-torps and 3 Ph1s for heavy damage, finishing off another shield, the armor and taking a decent chunk out of the PKs internals with the KE's R-torp and two F-torps and 4 Ph1s blasting through a 5 point shield and crippling it.
We ended the game there as it was late and knowing the KE and what was left of my KR could finish the PK despite what it could repair in the next three turns.
Looking forward to more games with more players.
) Was to put the consolidated Rulebook out on e23 in pdf format. I loaded it on to my Flyer tablet (Which I never leave without) and it is always with us when we play
