I wanted to say thank you again for putting material on the E23! I've gotten quite a few SFB products now via this venue as I like to put it on my Ipad Mini. This way I can take it pretty much anywhere for reading/reference.

This is also giving me a chance to fill in the blanks on the CL's I'm missing as well. Big space saver!

Thank you again!

David, you are quite welcome.

New on e23 is Captain's Log #31. Ken Burnside was just starting at ADB, Federation Commander was a dream, and I was first mentioned in an article on SFB Galactic Conquest. Ah, back in the days the ISC Queen was faced with the Andromedan Wars ...

There are two stories about the Romulan Invasion of the Federation and (fittingly enough) the deckplans for the SkyHawk.

What were you doing in June 2005?

The cruiser Groton and destroyer Genghis fight to avoid destruction in a Romulan ambush. The Federation carrier Nimitz has the first carrier duel with the Romulan carrier Imperial Standard. Plus the usual features, new battle frigates, new scenarios, new tactics.

Just purchased #28 on e23. That just leaves 29, 34, 40 and 42 and up to collect.

It's a hobby

As I mentioned in my post above, I purchased CL#28 on e23. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Didn't realize it was SSJ#2 so that was a bonus. Well done.

I picked up the first few PDF issues of CL the other day. What makes me sad is I remember buying the original hard copies when they first came out. Since then, I've lost all my SFB material and I now face a compulsiton to buy them all again so I'll have a complete set.

Among some other SFB items, I picked up CL 29 this morning on e23. Next on the list is 34

Fiction: For the Good of the Empire. In one of the more curious battles, we find an Orion pirate protecting a Klingon freighter from a Klingon frigate while a Klingon police ship tries to arrest the pirate. What's going on? How did these four ships get here? Is anything any of them are doing actually for the good of the empire?

For SFB: four new scenarios, 14 new ships, victory at origins, more tactics articles, Carrier campaign update, Mind Monster Update, Term Papers, Growler, Anarchist Magellanics, and more.

For Federation Commander: Victory at Origins, new scenario, eight new ships.

For Federation & Empire: Alternate Romulan history, every question you can imagine about Devastation and Residual Defense Factors, Tactical Notes, and the truth about PFs.

Updates on: conventions, marketing, new products, after action, starline miniatures, FCOL, SFBOL, FC-PBEM, SFB-PBEM, Warlord, Galactic Conquest, Prime Directive, SFBF, SFC, 10 questions for Vanessa, medals and awards, and much more.

Return to 1983 when hair was big and Star Fleet Battles was the hottest game on the block. From the data files of Star Fleet Headquarters, from the design and development staff of Amarillo Design Bureau, and from the players of Star Fleet Battles come even more scenarios to challenge your skills as a Captain.

Captain's Log #2 features the short story and scenario, "Refiner's Fire," by James Ashauer. The story details the Romulan attempt to destroy the Gorn Heavy Cruiser Reptilicon as a prelude to an invasion of the Gorn Confederation. The decisive battle occurred at the Gorn/Federation border. The scenario allows up to four players to recreate this climactic final battle.

The second feature of Captain's Log #2 is "Who's Who in the Star Fleet Universe." A brief background is given on the key people who were involved in the continuing creation of the STAR FLEET BATTLES gaming system.

Captain's Log #2 also includes the new Impulse Movement Charts for 8, 16, and 24 impulses and three new command cruisers: The Gorn Allosaurus Rex, the Hydran Lord Marshal, and the Romulan Superhawk.

Over 20 new scenarios are included in Captain's Log #2. Some scenario titles are: "Mutiny on the Demonslayer," "A Question of Franchise," "Ambush!," and "The Rain of Terror." Also included is the Campaign Game "The Expedition" which allows players to recreate the Hydran attempt to drive through the Klingon Empire.

This has been scanned from the best copy available.
