Dodge ... still think the best defence is not to get hit at all :wink:

Sorry but i won't see this as a "solution" - you just try to justify a work-around as "solution" to a valid issue. The problem will still be around ... If I take your post and try to read between the lines it says : not all fleets are suited to play a game and get a chance to win. If you pick...

Hi ! Sorry but I find it a little bit arrogant to say "just take another fleet selection". This will only work if both players decide ( and are able regarding their fleet list ) to use the breakdown and get more small ships. In IMHO this does not sound like fun. If i play the "wrong" fleet...

I can not say that i love every of your rules but there are some that have potential :wink: ... we will have to talk about same of this in our gaming group and see what we get. Thanks for sharing !

Yep, it is slightly more than half of 3/4-quarter of a full half-pint ( at 32° degree Celsius and a hand-made beer jug [ but must be made by a left-handed-person to get the correct tingle ] ) and you will have to fight for it with the barkeeper in a Klingon-Honour-Duel to death ... and it will...

In our current campaign we use house rules for redundancy and admirals. Redundancy Redundancy let's you ignore the crittical effect of hits - not the damage. The critical effect ignored can be selected by the player ( it does not work automatically ). The Redundancy number depends on the PL of...

Agree totally with you ! Also i find it very strange that the iconic ships from the show are not the ships that everyone will take as first choice because there are better options ( except some ships : Sharlin & WhiteStar ) and a fleet selections with the breakdown will almost always get more...

@ Greg Thanks for the fast answer ! @ Triggy Maybe they aren't designed to lose ( or be loose :wink: ) but - as you mentioned - they are designed to have only few options at low level games which will result in no real option for using the breakdown which will result in other problems.

Yes but in the other extreme a race like Shadows will have a problem to use the high initiative. At the moment a one ship Shadow fleet can not escape boresight swarm fleet. Against any kind of swarm fleet or even a player who knows enough about the Shadow fleet the initiative modifier will be...

It wasn't my intention to put words into your mouth ! After reading your post I think we are both very close together regarding the result we want to get. The idea is to "catch the spirit of the show" but still get a balanced fleet / game. If there is something unique/cool/special in the...

Regarding fluff and scenes in the show : Things in the show were FX created to get a "WOW" from the viewers. The fights between ships can also not be considered balanced in every scene. Otherwise every Minbari player would be allowed to take multiple Sharlins in a normal battle. IMHO it is...

Listen to the No. 1 BEAR ! He will tell you the Truth (TM) ! <oops ... hope this will not end in a copyright issue> Now I'm agitating ! :roll:

If always liked the idea of "hidden movement". You make a plan and than you see what your opponent was planning and what you both get ... very interesting :D: But I think with the current rules for boresight something like "hidden movement" would make it very hard to get a clear target. Except...

Personally i find the current system ok - not breath-robbing but ok :roll: IMHO the initiative winning side should be allowed to make the last move. Currently the side with more ships will have the opportunity to "save" ships until the opponent has moved everthing - even if he/she lost the...

Agree with Ripple on this one. Would be similar to the Vree special rule regarding normal movement & SM. Can be used but you don't have to and gives the fleet a unique trait.
