My group mixes the campaign rules with the Vbam (Victory by any means) campaign system so that there is actaully strategic movement, resource management, etc... We also roll three races at random for each player, then pick two to play the campaign with (we use counters). We usally ban Gaim...

Ya, I'm sure their might be ways to defeat the drakh using giam but would you make such an anti-drakh fleet for a blind match? The Drakh, Shadows, and the Gaim can throw such a focused fleet that a blind-built balanced fleet is at a big disadvantage. I also don't see very many disadvantages...

I am still a bit of a newbie to this game and I have come across a few problems with ACTA e2. How do you build a fleet expecting any opponent and win? Some things simply seem to trump others and some list seem like they don’t have a prayer against certain other lists. For instance Gravitic...

Don't they have Self-Repair 1? I have not had much luck spliting fire but focusing on one seemed to work.

Yes but the CV is a War level ship, so it should Kill a good quantity of smaller ships (4 raid worth I'd guess), but for 4 patrol ships, Blue Stars generally rank up more than a Raid point in kills. Then again we have been playing in a target rich environment.

Well we have played a few large games and every time it comes down to those little buggars. In our two large 2v2 games the ISA's Blue Stars out did most other ships point wise. The only reason they lost in both the battles was their ally's poor luck (My Xaak Command Saucer smote a full...

It was fun playing in the tournament and it was good to learn the rules through seeing it played rather than reading a book to start with.

Ya, not many people showed, but that allowed a newbie like me to win second. :D

The top one is an excellent choice for a terrain piece. Really interesting pics.

I don't know, that's kind of a stretch for 15 years. Last time I was there, there was a lot of anti-EU sentiment, especially in Scotland. Also, why would the UK risk fighting the world's biggest navy in a time where convoys can be destroyed at the push of a button hundreds of miles away...

Howdy, I’m looking at picking up battlefield evolution, but my friend beet me to the USMC so I was wondering what other faction to go with. I’m also concerned that the game doesn’t really have the forces developed yet. What kills tanks besides other tanks, because it doesn’t seem like...
