OK I'm done. I promise I wasn't angry when I said it. That's an improvement :D

OK, I figured out which one it is. You're the idiot.

Wulf I do not waste my time with those types either but it is possible to have an issue with friends over what constitutes a "crap" fleet. The game has a flaw in this area that I thought was going to be addressed in Amageddon. That was an assumption on my part and I was wrong, not a big deal...

And to them I say, bugger off. And so the game is no longer broken. Simple.

Who decides what a crap fleet is? How many Sagg's is to many? How many isn't enough? Crap to you may not be crap to me. Yes there are game systems that do a very good job of preventing power gaming and keep everything in balance for the most part. The fact that MP had to come out with a list...

So what we have here is a giant game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. :) Nova beats Transport, Transport beats White Star, White Star beats Darkner etc, etc, ...

When I refer to broken I'm talking about the ability to take 12 Sagg's and nothing else. The ability to take a fleet of nothing but the best ships regardless of priority level. That is power gaming and the system does nothing to restrict it. I assumed that the new system would. The game very...

in my example, Raid 5, there are very few ships that carry enough AD to to do the 80 pts. needed within a reasonable amount of time. Also in my example I showed that it would take 3 turns for all 5 WS to kill one Transport. In the mean time the Vorlons 4 buddies are consentrating thier fire...

What makes you think it's intentional?

I disagree. Just saw a War 5, Vorlon vs. Drahk. Vorlon lost nothing, Drahk lost 7 ships before he could get of the table. Let's look at the average game with the non scary 5 Transports. I usually play EA , Centari, or ISA. Out of those fleets the White Star is probably pound for pound my best...

Thanks for the link, THAT is exactly what I needed. I disagree that it isn't broken. Any system that allows me to power game as badly as this one is broken, but hey, if you can't beat 'em join 'em.

How good are Vorlons? Way over powered. This is good if you are playing a historical game. Vorlons and Shadows one on one, pound for pound should be able to kill anything the younger races can field. However in just a normal game, say, as part of a campign there is no mechanisim biult into the...

Thanks guys, that helps a little, but I still don't understand how the new system is different from the old. Maybe it would help if I new what I could NOT do under this new system. For instance, WAR 5, could I break all 5 pts. down into say 10 battle, and then take 4 of the battle and make 8...

We are having a disagreement in my group about how the sysytem works in my gaming group. Here is the way it was explained to me. War 5, break down 2 war pts., 1 war for 2 battle, and 1 war for 4 raid. This would give a fleet of 3 war, 2 battle, and 4 raid. That is not how I understand it...

Unfortunately, I have to agree. The price verses the quality is probably the worst of any miniatures produced that I'm aware of, and I also buy a lot of mini's. It's disappointing, I really like the game and the B5 background, but I refuse to spend my money on bad looking models. Not only is the...
