It seems to me if you bought every far-stretching argument on how to miss with a beam you would have to conclude that it would be near impossible to hit with anything other than a beam. :P Neverethless the flashlight analogy was a joke. As for the topic at hand run-away beam shots have...

There is nothing affecting a beam in space. Assuming you have a targetting system capable of making a straight line your movement or the other ships would make little difference (the speed of light thing). Even assuming your sights are perfect on a rifle there is wind, gravity, and the...

Straight line, speed of light, in space... Seems kind of hard to miss...

Start listing them and I'll let you know when you get to "many". :P Regardless, I was joking. Plus the rules to this game don't really reflect hitting/missing well. Is a big laser really more accurate than a small one? Why can you dodge half a laser?

Playing ISA and Minbari now comes down to how well one rolls on his beams and nothing else. It's way too random. The chances of missing with beams does not balance with the the chances of causing big damage. White Stars with their triple damage, precise beams are way too likely to severely...

I like: 1 Primus 1 Sulust 2 Vorchans 3 Corvans This differs significantly from the 2 Primus 3 Corvan fleet because the Vorchans let you pretend you are doing something other than shooting half-way across the board with overpowered "lasers". :roll:

Yup, fantasy battle is the worst. I went to this tournament in Oregon once where this guy from Canada had both a high sorceress on a manticore and a war hydra. :P Anyway all games where you get to build your force have this problem, however I think this is one of the better designed ones...

In my rulebook it says the attacks are wasted and the firepower is uselessly expended in space. This leaves me to believe that slow-loading weapons have to wait a turn regardless of the stealth roll...

I figured as much. I am going to give it a try today though and see if my experience mirrors yours. I have a feeling it will. I've been following these posts for a while and so far you seem the one person on these forums whose experience and observations about the game seem are closest to...

It's my opinion that a lot of the arguments against the Minbari being better than everyone else are soley based on people just really not wanting them to be so. However they are. And while there is the little list on how to fight them it doesn't even the playing field especially since the...
