    MavenCon - ACTA Tournament Debut!!!

    I hear there are a couple slots that opened up recently, as people dropped out. If you want to go to Mavencon for the ACTA tourney, you should probably contact Bryan Steele to see if those slots are still open. Also, we tried out the BATTLE FOR SECTOR 14 tournament pack on Saturday and it is...

    Not sure if this is the right place to bring up ship discussions. But I would like to compare two RAID level ships... The Shuuka Skirmish Queen and the Centauri Altarian Destroyer (a good ship!). Speed Shuuka = 6 Altarian = 8 Turn Shuuka = 2/45 Altarian = 1/45 Hull Shuuka = 6 Altarian =...

    Well, at the Kettering tourney, since you had to field a war or two battles, only 3 of 7 Raids could be used on smaller ships. And Enalut's fleet was considered "obnoxious". How about this? Give a min/max on all ships, per War allocation. So, you could say that a Drazi player could take 0-6...

    I believe my local group would have to come up with house rules. I sure wouldn't panic! I would gladly help with toning down my own fleet if I agreed that it was broken. I assume there will be official errata soon. Mongoose would never ban a whole race at tournaments. So, a guy is not gonna...

    Yes. I get it. I feel I have been very up-front about why I don't think they should be allowed in tournaments. Mongoose it seems, and many people on this forum, have different thoughts on the matter. People are getting a little testy. Except for Enalut. He has been a gentleman (ever...

    Now a word about the Krystal Keep in Kettering, OH. This is about the coolest store I have ever been to. Huge, with lots and lots of space devoted to retail and an almost equal space devoted to gaming. Truly, they do games right! This is Enalut's store. I saw a $100 Gaim Fleet Box on the...

    Definitely a difference in opinion here. You must realize that I come from a Retailer's standpoint. I would assume that a manufacturer (Mongoose) would have a similar view. Its all about how the game looks and feels. Metal (or plastic) miniatures are just better than paper or cardboard...

    I do not think the Gaim are THAT over the top. Yes, they are unbalanced, but I feel they can become balanced with ONE correction. Change their emines to Slow Loading. This will REALLY hamper their firepower. One of the biggest disadvantages of the Gaim is that they have so many fighters, but...

    First off, let me introduce myself, as I have not posted on this forum before. My name is Carlos Fernandez. I have played tactical miniatures games for all of my adult life, which is getting close to two decades. I won the first Gen-Con Bab 5 Wars tournament (by Agents of Gaming). I was...
