If I have a critical hit and in the end phase I successfully make a damage control die roll, the critical hit level drops by one. I take it that speed etc recovers, but I don't recover hull damage nor do I get marines back. ( damaged / dead etc). I then take another critical hit in the...

Clarification of 'Escalation' (End phase, page 17) I take this to mean that if there was an escalate result on a critical during the preceding turn, that, for each location (Engines, Reactor etc) where this occurred, you roll a d6 and on a 4+ all future Criticals against that location get a +1...

I discovered Babylon 5 about 6 months ago at the club I had just moved to. In principle it is a great game, but a bit like the early GW stuff - some of the rules are bit raw, the balance is not perfect and the are sometimes poorly moulded, and the checking of what goes in the fleet boxes is...

Help ! I have recently been told that Weak weapon rule has changed. My reading of the rule in the Basic set indicates that weak means that there is -1 from the to hit/ attack dice and damage dice are rolled as normal (1= bulkhead, 2-6 cause 1 on each, and in addition a 6 is a critical). I...

I support the original point. The lack of QA also extends to missing out parts of the ships. For Christmas I got the Minbari Fleet box and the Narn Reinforcements. There was a whole ship missing from the Minbari box and bits missing from the Narn set. How difficult is it to have a check list...

Opened my Christmas presents to discover that the Neshatan was missing from the Minbari Fleet box......not just bits of it, a whole missing ship. In addition, there were gun sprues missing for the Sharlin. I opened the Narn reinforcement box to check that and two rings were missing for the...

That's cheered me up ! I have a box of Narn reinforcements and a Minbari fleet coming as Xmas presents. A lottery on Christmas morning. Can't wait. About the postage........My understanding is that - In the UK if you order goods and they are defective, you are entitled to have the return...

I have only been playing B5 for a few months. I like the game system, but having bought some ships.......the standard on some of the casting is dire !!!! You only have to compare with Games Workshop, or some of the other manufacturers to see how poor they are. This is a pity. They take a lot...

I have only been playing B5 for a few months and the game level issue seems complex. Why not just use : Patrol = 1 Skirmish = 2 Raid = 4 Battle = 8 War = 16 Armg'n = 32 The level of the game is established as normal (eg 5 Raid points) this...
