    Ahh, sorry misunderstood. Though it does show if you don't speak out, you cannot be counted.

    pre-painted miniatures?

    "A small but vocal minority" - sorry, did we have a referendum on this - any numbers? Or is it your interpretation of postings on the boards over the years? Seriously if there is a poll out there I didn't see let me know and I'll happy cast my vote!

    pre-painted miniatures?

    Have you ever tried painting onto some of the pre-paint plastics out there? A lot of the pre-paints I've seen/used are also a cheaper/softer plastic than unpainted ones and are often not suited to painting. Not having experience of Evo or SST, I don't know what Mongoose's are like. A*se about...

    Game Balance - Hopes and fears for 2nd Edition

    I'm sure the XO comments on the disruption coming from the Minbari scanners/sensors. Stealth was active, so there is some "cannon" for pulse weapons being able to hit and damage even a stealthed ship, just not very much. Re: Sharlins and Shadows, a Sharlin gets neatly sliced in "Shadow...

    Pixar's latest production

    Actually I suspect it was to control the size and power of the colonies that it was in Britains interest to hold up this deal.

    Game Balance - Hopes and fears for 2nd Edition

    To my mind adding more depth is a positive thing, but ACTA has always been pitched as a fast-play game, and while one additional die-roll here or there won't make a lot of difference, where do they stop? Of course if you REALLY want to give some more detail to ships do away with the D6 !!! (it...

    Detailed fighter combat rules

    There are some very good ideas on this thread. @Triggy - not wishing to turn this into the "crew score" thread, but is it really worth it for this level. All the fighters you've stated so far are Crew 1, so one crew crit is dead. Messed around with some ideas myself in the past (everyone's a...

    The Olde crew score

    - Reduce the WS damage score? - Ancients still wouldn't suffer from crippled effects (thinking of the 2 threshold suggestion above) and cannot be boarded. Personally I don't think crew adds much as the system stands.

    how many ACTA players will or do play Victory at Sea

    Lured in under false pretenses :shock: As a ground system - no, because (a) trying to fit into a well-established market (b) what woulkd be so special about these rules and (c) they have ground combat rules.

    Is Fighters firing first so bad?

    Not sure how this makes much diffence, as far as I can tell from above, the fighters are still firing first. Or are you suggesting firing/damage is simultaneous? Phil
