I like special rules, they make units and armies unique. Ideally I think basic units should have around 2 traits each with maybe a special rule. Elite troops should have at least one special rule with traits thrown in. Monsters/Vechicles/Characters should have several special rules each...

I really hope that an updated Evo version of the old tunneling rules are in the advanced rulebook because Arachnid "Deep Strike" just isn't going to cut it. To be honest the thing that made SST so great was that the rules were designed almost entirely around the MI and Arachnids. The focus...

Much much better. As long as the prepainted minis stay at this quality or better I think most players will be more than satisfied.

This topic covers my my biggest beef with B5:ACTA which is the game's fleet/ship balance. I think the core rules are great and the overall game is a lot of fun, but there are some definite balance issues regarding several of the ships in the game. Compounding the issue, is the fact that many...

The Prefect has higher hull so it ought to last longer. My Sulust's interceptors tend to get depleted real fast with crappy weapons and let the missles right through. I think over the course of the game hull 6 works better. With the fighter changes in Armageddon, it's even easier to deplete...

Did they change the stats on the Sulust in Armageddon or something? Why all of a sudden is it supposed to be so great? With SFOS stats the Prefect and Dargan are arguably as good or better and with the tournament lists I'd a Dargan or a Centurion are just as good as well.

I think the Armageddon rules changes are great. I love the stealth, e-mines, and fighter changes. The Sagittarius change, however, has me dumbfounded. It's now possible load flash missles to CAF with and it has two extra AD in front arc? The Sagittarius was ludicrous before, now it has...

I think the crits are just a little bit too much. The Crit tables always keep me from taking ships above priority level and make me cringe whenever I take ships at priority level. Two ships below priority are much less vulnerable to crits than one ship at priority and you don't loose much...

The Sagittarius needs to be updated if it's going to stay at skirmish. I'd drop 1 AD off of the port and starboard arcs and either lower the hull to 4 or drop some damage and crew. Alternately if it's going to be moved up to raid I'd add maybe 1 AD to front and rear arcs. Maybe port and...
