HI, As per an earlier post, I am moving soon, and unloading my B5:ACTA in preparation. While I found it to be an awesome game, I've had trouble finding opponents, and where I'm moving I suspect will have even less luck. My stuff is up as a lot on ebay here. Have a look, bid early, and bid...

Hi, I hope it is ok to post this here. I will be moving in a few months, and have some ACTA stuff I am unlikely to use at my new location - two of the Poseidon box sets, an Earth support ships box set, and a couple of hyperions. Can anyone recommend a good place to move this stuff? There is...

Hi, So, I've played a few games, have been totally hammered in my fist campaign, and learned a few lessons. 1. Despite all teh best wishes in the world, and the Armageddon changes, you cannot count on fighters to win games for you. They are usefull, and have a role to play, but devestating...

Hi, Speaking as someone using a poseidon in a campaign now, I think that it is more usefull underthose circumstances than under any other, although the second time around I would buy it as a reinforcement. The bonus to campaign initiative is usefull, and in the big games that a campaign can...

Hi, What is rulesmasters? BTW, we are using SFoS, not Armageddon. Sort of. FMB

Admiral Laertes sighed in frustration as his aid placed another stack of casualty reports on his desk. The campaing had started so well. The task force under Commador Haen had moved tooccupy one of the two system jump gates, and the fighters aboard Haen's Achilles had managed to gather...

Hi, Thanks for the kind words, gang. More to come, and I'll post as they are finished. FMB

Hi, Memory goes to hell, along with vocabulary. Mild recovery after pregnacy, but at 6mo. and counting, she's still not the same . . . M.

Hi, Looks like it was a good time. If I may ask, what's a "dream fleet"? FMB

Hi, My first ACTA ship, the Hyperion-class Heavy Cruiser EAS Thetis. The piccies are a bit dark, I'm taking them at night under a single overhead, so I'll try to get some better ones tomorrow. I figure they'll give you the idea though. FMB

Hi, I was wondering about the impact of the new PL ships on campaigns. As it stands, getting more than one war choice into a campaign (at least at the outset) can be daunting. I imagine including an Armageddon level ship would be even more restrictive. So, is the idea that these ships would...

Hi, Nah, I'm lucky - my in-laws are both good people. It;s hard to justify hiding away with a paintbrush when you've got houseguests, though. FMB

Hi, So, my first installment of EA toys arrived last night. Two Hyperions and a Poseidon box set. The hyperions look to be in fantastic shape, some mold lines, but nothing serious, and I cleaned on up last night in a half-hour or so. The Poseidon is a ilttle roughter - the hab sections have...

Hi, This may be an odd question, but is the only way to seize a planetary strategic target via the planetary assault scenario? The impression I got from my first read through is that scenarios are randomly determined, and that planetary assault can only be a result for a ST with a planet. In...

Hi, Ahhh. So, no worries about anachronistic matchups, and you treat the three EA lists as separate forces, rather than three time-limited examples of the same force? Is this likely to be the standard approach for post-Armageddon tournies? FMB
