In most of the games I have played we have used the fleet composition rules; before they were published i used my SFB knowledge to decide "what was reasonable". I have no major issues with the rules. It might be interesting to know how many people who think that this race or that race is broken...

I saw Attack wing being demonstrated - it's not the game for me. The models are over-priced, particularly the Enterprise and other small ships, the game involved characters (Riker, Picard etc) and it's not suitable for fleet actions. Depending on the number of ships involved and the time...

Got to agree with Reynard. The game is fun to play, fast and easy to learn. Fleet battles are over in a few hours (quicker than FC, never mind SFB). The models are good too. As an SFB player who started playing over 25 years ago I find the rules different from SFB (and sometimes my...

Great news - several people are showing interest at my club, but with them being old SFB players they are waiting until their favourite ship/race/weapons are added before buying.

I asked about Plasma Bolts here: http://forum.mongoosepublishing.com/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=55671 my understanding based on the responses is roll 1AD for each AD of the Plasma Torpedo - based on a 10 maximum range AND Energy Bleed trait so for a Plasma R at 8" range you have 4 dice (7 AD...

I took along 1no Royal Hawk 1no SpH-C "Owl" Scout 1no Sph-A 1no Fast Hawk 1no KRC 1no KR and then had a combination of bad luck and foolish mistakes (Don't decloak behind a Kzinti DN just because you can). Still I had a great time and learned a lot :D

Having lulled you all into a false sense of security by coming last I plan to return and be revenged! It was a great day - so thanks to the organisers

Thanks for the answers.

Thre questions on Firing an Plasma-D in ADD mode 1)When you fire a Plasma-D in ADD mode when do you need to reload it? a) In the next turn IF you rolled a "1" b) In the next turn regardless of whether you rolled a 1 or not 2) Assuming you don't roll any 1's while using it how many times can...

You cant escape from a blackhole either

The Klingon vs Orion squadron set & Rule book doe the job nicely. Throw in the mini-campaign in the recent PDF and you have a starter set, although other X vs Y sets would be nice to have too

As a long time player of SFB I have always enjoyed ADB's honesty and openness with customers, also their commitment to quality, and "getting it right". Modules I have waited for, for years, have been delayed at the last minute because of various issues. When this has happened there has always...

Since I can't edit either list please add me to both / the one that's going to be used in future Simon Robinson (Loki1965) Rushden Northants UK CTA:SF (At least one other player at my local club and we're trying to recruit more :D) Although not mongoose games I also play SFB and occassional...

So in your plasma-S example if I rolled a 2,5 & 6 to hit - the 2 would miss, the 5 would cause 1d6 divided by 2 damage on the shields and the 6 1d6 divided by 2 damage that would by-pass the shields? Does any critical scored by a plasma bolt still cause the relevant score to increase by 2?

How to plasma bolts work? If I bolt a plasma torpedo is it still a seeking weapon (automatic hit, no shield leaks) or is it a direct Fire weapon (roll to hit and natural 6's by-pass shields) with a Range of 10"? Example If I bolt a Plasma-R at 6" range against a target with 25 shields then...
