I recommend going with Agents of Gaming as much as possible. Of course, this is because they sell Fleet Scale models which are smaller but therefore cheaper and more abundant. You can effectively get an entire fleet for the same cost as 5 or 6 of the regular sized models. Here is their link...

Is there any real hope of a point system being used in place of priority levels?

I have a question regarding the Gatling Laser rules as described on page 17, which reads, "• Enemy fighters. • A rocket, missile or torpedo attack. • A boarding action using a grapple gun. Whenever a gatling laser reacts to one of these threats, roll three Attack Dice for it." While this Rule...

It was interesting to see who would use what. Right now I'm leaning towards Drazi or making it an EA civil war, or perhaps Narn, or maybe Abbai . . . so many factions so little time.

The spell check changed it to what is posted. I thought it was a British/European thing, like honor vs honour (which is how I have seen honor used many times in academic works from those across the pond). Burger got it right, I was curious as to what you guys would bring. Not sure what those...

Our little gaming group is having a three way battle next Friday. I am lending my Centauri to one of my opponents and the other is using Earth (era undisclosed but most likely 3rd Age). I am probably going to bring the Minbari as the Earth player (who is the most experienced) has a...

I guess that would depend on what kind of game play you have in mind. If you are thinking of just one good fleet myself and others would recommend Centauri. If you are looking for variety of factions for a reasonable price, AOG still has League sets in Fleet Action scale. So, for a couple of...

I would recommend not taking more than 2 maximus, possibly one depending on your fleet build. Interceptors will only get you so far. The best solution against a devistatingly annoying Vree attack is to eliminate the attack before it happens. Interceptors/guardian array should be considered a...

That's great news, but a double edged sword for me. I'm already putting in for time off the week before so I can present a paper at a conference in Memphis. I might be able swing it, but I'm not optimistic. I'll be sure to tell the other few players in my area about it. I hope the tourn...

Here is something similar to what I am putting in a game I am currently writing. Shared Telemetry - The greater resources of a Command Ship grant it with the ability to share more precise targeting information with its support ships. Declared before a commander's first activation of the Attack...

How about Andromeda (i.e. Starship Andromdeda [SA])? Since they were looking at Star Trek perhaps they went for another Rodennberry show. The 'N' terms in red on Wikip are Nietzschean, and All Forces Nullification Point. Guess I'll just have to wait until tomorrow, or Friday, or Saturday . ...

We've been looking at announcing a January tournament next week located in the South Chicago (i.e. 30 from IN) area. Checking facility availability tomorrow.

Nice. I especially like the touch with the fighter insignia and the paint job on the WS

I've sometimes played A CAll to Arms by myself. My wife rolls her eyes, the dog looks at me like I've lost it, but all I know is I win every time. If it wasn't for my jerk of an opponant contesting every move I make it would be perfect.

I always liked the idea of a failed stealth role being all or nothing, but only for that target. So, I fail on a Minbari ship to my Starboard, if there is another ship in that arc I can attempt to target it after the failed Stealth role.
