Hi Archon! Yep, you are right. Sorry, hadn't noticed the rather draconian provisions on this regard. Went and read Matt's opening notice and saw his commentary. I've removed the references to any IP that Mongoose hasn't licensed. However, in that vein is a down rev'd version of the...

Thanks, Greg, wish you were close enough to drop by and check it out! :D Each player will have unique goals, though some may mesh, and others be diametrically opposed. One thing, as this will be a Con game and I expect most players will be playing ACTA for the first time, I left out seeking...

The big element of the game will be the various factions interaction with the space beasties. The mystery of what they are and what they truly represent will drive much of the action. In that vein I'm breaking out the labs rules considerably, and will be using the concept of science...

A few examples of what I'll be handing out to the players: Uploaded with ImageShack.us By demiurgex at 2012-06-06 Front page of the Quick Rules page - there's some changes to the Special Rules, including putting the various Sensors and Probes into the Special Actions section (as you can't do...

Hi guys, just wanted to post some of my work in case any ACTA players were going to be at Historicon on July 21st. Its the biggest minis con in the Midatlantic, and a pretty good time. This year I'm doing ACTA:SF, though as usual I can't help but mod and tweak to my heart's content. :) Its a...

Howdy! We had a great time at the con, I put up a battle report that I think is pretty fun. Here's a link: http://www.star-ranger.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=6965 Any comments or suggestions welcome!

Not sure if there are any ACTA players in the midatlantic region, but figured I'd give a shout out if anyone was interested. However, this isn't B5 (sorry) it will be for a Star Wars mod using a mixture of miniatures from various lines, including 3 I've had rapid prototyped from 3d meshes...

If you are looking for rules sets, there's a couple posted up at the Mongoose Mods Yahoo group under the ACTA file section. There's several variants there. Including the in-house variant that the ACTA game designers came up with. However, I have to say I didn't find their research there very...

Oh, here's the B5 Wars vault - has pretty much all the ships designed for the game, which is far more than any human being will ever actually play. http://www.tesarta.com/b5wars/

Can't comment on the CCG, but there's tons of web stuff out for AOG's defunct B5 Wars game. Of course, Mongoose has a vibrant, living game in ACTA, but the scales are a little different. I wouldn't put B5 Wars quite at the SFB, plot out all your energy and movement complexity level (or like...

I've posted over there a tad. Lots of smart folks. Should be an interesting combination over here considering how many people love the Eternal Champion series - and how many love the Starship Troopers game Mongoose is already publishing. Mr. Moorcock isn't exactly a fan. :) But I'm glad...

Court Jester - absolutely fantastic mod, thanks! Extremely impressive design, love the counters, and the research is obviously there! One minor quibble - I know we see Cylon Raiders firing missiles at different times, but it's amazing the number of times when they should when they don't. And...

Yeah, it's a big ship. Problem is, we see it's fighter wing in the attack on the Droid Control Ship - it's 100 fighters. We see the attacking force, which is no more than 2 dozen Naboo N-1s - we even see them launch. Now where exactly are the other 1400 fighters in the attack on that ship...

chaosomega - they are up on the mongoose mods section that pixelgeek put up (thanks pixel!). There's Mongoose's home rules for Star Wars ACTA and Ben Rubery's Battlefield evolution rules for ground combat in Star Wars. Also a new BSG conversion that I haven't looked through yet (but will...

Not sure I follow - what exactly do you think would be different about the battle of Endor if Lucas shot it now? The level of detail is higher in ROTS, I'll grant you, but the basic concepts are the same - lots of fighters screaming around, large ships trading broadsides at point blank range...
