Federation Commander

what ships should I use to recreate the Kobayashi Maru

Depends on how you want to play it.

At the base level, take a Federation CA or CC. Then send waves of three D7s against it. Each wave comes in directly in front of the Fed cruiser. The timing of the waves (three per impulse; three per turn; three per x turns) was not fully defined; pick something that works.

Also, feel free to scale the D7s down to D6s or F5s to let the Fed ship last longer. Scale the Fed ship up to a BC, DN, or even BB to let it kill more before it dies.

Also, you could do worse than looking at the scenario in Communique #42 here:

But I didn't tell you that....

Good one Kang,
Thanks for jarring my memory, because I knew I played a scenario that was a robot rules one that was very similar...

Now that the new movie is out, we should add that you must eat an apple with a devil-may-care attitude while playing The Dakota Incident...

And figure out a handy way to get the Klingons' shields down, while you are at it...

That's what Photons are for!

Great. Just Great. Now I'll have to do that ...

What, you don't like apples?

I has to be done...

I've tried it a few times.
I even got the crew once, but I had over half my boxes damaged... The few other times, I caused more than 10 pts. of internal damage on the D6s...
