    Shadows physical disruption

    Sounds like a common sense houserule to me!

    A viable tactic against Gaim?

    This is true and considering I am now only starting to pick up the fighter rules I apologize. However even if they drop in the End Phase the enemy still cannot open fire on them as the fighters "Dogfight" before the ships fire if the turn sequence chart is to be believed. Meaning the strategy...

    A viable tactic against Gaim?

    Correct me if I am wrong but lets say for example ship 1 has 10 guided missiles breathing down its neck (lets assume you are earth) Regardless of who wins initiative lets say ship 1 does its movement and then launches 1-4 fighters. The fighters then stay in base to base contact with ship 1...

    A viable tactic against Gaim?

    So I am sitting here playing a few friends in B5 with a Mimbari fleet when I roll up a anilination scenario against a Gaim fleet. Since I am aware of how they played I picked up 2 of the war level ships with the 36' Beam/Triple/Precise weapon, Sharoos IIRC. Also a ton of those raid level Escort...

    Negative R&R - Can it be done?

    I wish I could do that, although I play Shadows so I kinda have to save up for anything. Thanks for the answers though guys

    Negative R&R - Can it be done?

    Lets assume for this example you are in a campaign and only have 5 RR left for the turn. Before the new turn can begin someone attacks you and takes your planet, now according to the book you would lose 15RR for losing control of a strategic target, can you do to -10RR in the above example? Or...

    rescue

    If its a matter of taking the ship out then rush him. That Sharoos is kinda slow and it has lumbering rush him and try to keep both ships in one arc to avoid damage saturation.

    5pt Patrol or Skirmish: Can the Shadows win???

    I suggest using that double movement we have to get some range on the fights so you will have a chance to fire on them. Otherwise they will just end up attaching to your back and staying there, use your fighter to escort the Scout and then once the dogfight commences shoot into it. I don't...

    Some thoughts on the Gaim...

    I played against Gaim actually in my very first 2nd ed game a few weeks ago and I was not that much impressed. At a 5 point raid I had 1 shadow ship and 1 shadow scout. My scout ended up dying but my ship was largely indifferent to the guided missiles flying around and dropping 1 enemy ship per...

    Ship Deployment Question

    You are indeed correct as all the scenarios have someone who lays down their entire fleet. It looks to me we were playing it incorrectly which would completely invalidate my idea, :cry: Ah well

    Ship Deployment Question

    I had a few games today at a nearby game store all of them victories for the Shadows, a problem did arise though during deployment (which we just rolled a d6 to solve) but I had purchased Shadow fighters (I know!) since I had some left over points. It suddenly occurred to me that I could place 1...

    Question

    I interpreted that to mean they don't have to be stuck in the ship with the dispersal tube the only way of letting them out. Then again the only reason I pay attention to my fighters now is because we get them for free, so I wouldn't mind just dropping them out at the start of the game.

    Question

    Well other ships follow this exact same restriction. The only difference being is any other army besides my beloved Shadows can use the Scramble! Scramble! special action to pop out 1 more fighter. Also since they can start the game with 1 out you are actually looking at 5 turns not 6. The...
