I've been playing ACTA since I first purchased it at GenCon the year it was released. In St. Louis, MO (USA) over different periods of time I have assembled large groups of players who at times would play weekly for a couple of years then we would cease playing for a while only to pick it back...

Matt made a comment he had no prob with the 1st edition WS and I replied back to him, neither did I or any of the later edition WS. The SFOS WS is by far the most powerful version of this ship and with such a low dodge is extemely difficult to deal with. I playtested SFOS for Matt before its...

I've never thought the first CTA White Star was broken either nor did I have a problem playing against the SFOS version that many on the forum fretted over. The ISA fleet is so limited that they need the White Stars to be an above average ship if they are going to be competitive. There are...

Matt, I'll try to keep an open mind. You know I've playtested alot of stuff over the past couple of years but the tournament Sagittarius was definitely over powering at Skirmish PL and the new one doesn't address this at all, it enhances it. It will be abused by players in Armegeddon just as...

You can sure say that again. Utterly ridiculous!!! Chewy _________ Semper Fi

I agree, Gale Force Nine definitely makes good ACTA templates. I use them all the time. ACTA Targeting & Ship Status Token Set http://www.gf9.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=49&products_id=274 ACTA Special Action Token Set http://www.gf9.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=49&products_id=217...

Our scenarios were all pretty much fought with fairly balanced fleets from all the races in ACTA, and no one felt it broke the game. We rolled up a scenario and PL strength as per the campaign rules then the players had to make a random roll to see what race they would have to use in the...

Are you sure you weren't secretly hiding in our game room Saturday afternooon ;-)? I asked our group if we made any changes to Redundancy X what would it be? Over half suggested trying next time the exact same changes you mentioned. We'll try it out later in the week and see how it feels...

Well I said we would playtest this idea this weekend so here is how we implemented this simple rule and what our thoughts were. Special Ability: Redundancy X - A ship with the redundancy X trait will automatiically ignore X critical hits per skirmish. So a crit roll of 6 or 5 on precise weapons...

Just some basic thoughts: I think I understand the evolutionary process the races have gone through since the beginning of ACTA - SFOS - Armegeddon. I have no problem with races migrating to larger ships and fewer skirmish ships as costs and technology continue to evolve, i.e., EA as some other...

I actually like your idea and several of us are going to playtest it this weekend with a slight modification. I think the scale should start with Raid and not Skirmish. Here is what we are going to test: Raid-1 Battle-2 War-3 Armageddon-4 The reason I think we should exclude Skirmish from...

Reaverman I agree 100% with your assessment. The percentages show the Vorlon player should win most of the time, no matter how the Sag player arranges his fleet. What your battle effectively illustrated is that the reason why the 10 Sag fleet is so deadly is its ability to fire lots of precise...

I've tried many different fleets in test skirmishes against the 10 Sag fleet combo and was also able to defeat it fielding both Shadow and Vorlon fleets also but only because these races ignore crits. With the Shadows I prevailed with the 2 Shadow Hunter 1 Scout fleet and it was a typical...

I hope you realize that anytime you ask for a poll of whether people want something for free or if they want more of something for the same amount of money than they currently get that they are always going to say "YES". The decision about whether the ISA Fleet box should have an additional...
