@ djclark: Heh. That would be me. I had a bad game against you *ages* ago and in a way of assuaging my own fragile ego, made a story of how the fates had cursed me and that *you* were my nemesis. In truth I had a bad game, a few unlucky rolls and I disagreed with a some of the rules calls at...

Shadows!

...does this I mean I get to actually use Shadows! 8) Woo Woo! ;)

Swarms are effective because to chose a ship that is roughly 50% better you pass up the chance for two of the lesser kind. e.g. The Raid ship is 1.5 times as good as Skirmish but you get 2 Skirmish Ships for the same price! ...and this works all the way down. How about allowing splitting but...

It does have one quality I actually like. It's a deterrant. When not ALL of your ships have stealth then the opponent (well at least me) is more likely to go for the non-stealth ship that has a definite chance of being able to roll attack dice. Of course if you're fighting boneheads that really...

Don't be silly. Things only appear in S&P after being extensively play tested. I suppose there might be an article that explains why the stats are the way they are...the perfectly reasonable, "Why Shadow Fighters are lame" article for example? :twisted:

Burger's been making 3-D counters for a bit...I think he's trying to get a selection of each fleet! He's posted this for the Minbari... http://www.ibisfightclub.co.uk/Counters/

Burger has posted a method of doing it to... http://www.ibisfightclub.co.uk/Projects/Omega.html

Just so long as you don't take lessons *while* you're actually playing right ;)

Some general tips, and these are my preferences so feel free to disagree!... * Give everyone, as much as possible, reasonably balanced choices with a roughly equal number of ships (and not too few either or one lucky crit could ruin the game). * Don't use too many ships on other side (i.e. no...

Why do you say this when you know I shall hunt you down and make you suffer for it?! Do you think I would really give up my advantage? You will all suffer for your defiance! Plus I would have won the 2nd game on VPs if I wasn't tired. The crits were awful but be fair, Drakh have a lot of...

Burger and I are in training for the coming Mongoose tournament (1 Battle Choice, 1 Skirmish Choice). We chose Vree and Drakh respectively. Although the scenarios are not revealed, we decided to duke it out mano a mano style with random terrain...he got a dust cloud to hide in. I got nothing to...

It doesn't make much sense that EITHER Shadows or Vorlons would have any problems against the stealth systems of younger races. However in terms of game balance, both Shadows and Vorlons have a full (well sort of) fleet list and as such are viable options for day to day play. If they simply...

Arghh...that's an excellent point. To be honest I thought you could the use the idea to create "one off" variants that would be at a higher PL level but is does seem a little unwieldy now. You could come up with something that created a taxonomy of ship systems and cost may be dependent on what...
