Great, thanks guys I'll loook forward to buying the new book when it comes out in the new year.

First off thanks to Matt for organising a fun tournament. I thought I'd add a battle report. At last years event, I placed second and picked up a Kzinti boxed set, so I thought it would be fun to use them in this years game. Originally I planned to use the following list: 2 drone...

Thanks Drummer, its been far too long since I played original SFB so I couldn't remember the way it was handled in that game. It did occur to me this morning that any ruling on jamming also affects phasers under the "close blast doors" action, as they could be firing up to 18" away. It seems...

That's the issue though, the rules don't use that wording (although maybe they should!) when they discuss jamming. If jamming an enemy vessel the wording is "remove two attack dice from any one weapon system" which is very different to "remove two attack dice fired offensively from any one...

I played a game with Kzinti scouts against the Federation yesterday and came up with an interesting issue which needs clarifying. I experimented with using jamming directed against the Federation drone system, to give myself the maximum chance of successful drone bombardment. This lead to the...

Tried a few different fleet out. Got thrashed twice, and only won once using a seriously cheesy fleet I won't bring to the competition....

I have one other who is willing to come along and make up the numbers if helps.

Just ordered my ticket.

Sounds interesting, looking forwards to hearing the details!

I'm a britcon regular, so I could definitely be interested.

My battle reports, apologies for forgetting names and fleet details, I'm terrible with names! Game one Charles Listers Klingons: C7, D6,F5 I took two D5s and a D6 Terrain: deep empty space... This was rescue, but mostly became a stand off firing match over the objective at long range. I...

I'd be interested, and possibly one other.

I'm going to add to the arguement against this rule as it stands. I just cannot see when I'm going to use it. If my main weapon is out of action, I want to get out of combat for a round, which means being able to turn the ship (and for the big guys thats hard enough). If we have just made a...

I love the idea of the main battle-line going down the throat of the enemy pouring out suppressive fire. It can even work (somewhat) with the fluff, as Centauri are noted for the use of explosive rounds - now we see why! If you are going for a defense against a single ship, it probably should...
