Though I have only used the 3rd age nova (and once at that), twin linked on its own is next to useless if you are shooting high armored ships. with ap/dd you can use your scout to give you rerolls and do massive damage even if the dice are less. seems kinda silly to me that the ap/dd is the...

Biggest problem with hyperion in crusade is that everything else is hull 6 so the hyperions get jumped fast....though they do better in big games...Id like to see a hull 6 raid choice to match the rest of the crusade stuff... as for looks, I use a delphhi with extra turrets from a...

how about ships with fore and aft boresights? we generally play you have to line up on a target thats already moved....would you think it reasonable, given sufficient movement and turning, to line up both weapons if you are at a point on a line between the two targets?

Burger-- EA crusade era--Marathon is missing its aft boresight weapon

any opinions on the chronos? What ratio compared to heavier ships ie hyperion/marathon/apollo?

Any general tips with Crusade era EA? So far Ive played 5pt raid with: 1xmarathon 1xHyperion 1xdelphi 2xchronos Suggestions? Hows the appollo at this level?

we had the same question about double/tripple damage and criticals...any ideas? how was this handled in 1st edition?

Though Id love to see BFEVO do well, I suspect this will just speed up its demise. EVO's closest rival, in my eyes at least, AT-43, though having many release issues of their own, are still managing to get some new product out there each month...evo/starship troopers is a great rules set, its...

try gamekastle in santa clara www.gamekastle.com they have a good selection of stuff and a big space to play. I dont think of anyone playing ACTA. those of us who are interested in it are waiting for the new rules to come out before buying in. there are however a few of us playing victory at...

Game looked great Dan--quite the crowd! It was cool to see how different folks approach the scenario....so, next year Java sea in space? ;) Zach

I think we were all about 2-3 casualties away from shatter point, so even the winners limped home....good stuff. Eric was taking pictures, so maybe he'll post some if we're lucky. thanks for the great game guys. see ya at the next kubla. Zach

sounds good--I'll bring my stuff....rabidchild--do you have a bay area group thats playing battlefield regularly?

Mongoose Alex--is mongoose going to have there own booth at the con, or are you there with one of the local vendors? I'll be a kubla and would certainly be up for a game--I have about 1500 of PLA and Marines Zach
