Greetings,
I had a solo bash at v0.8 last night and it was insane. Bucket & Beast vs 4 Toasters... Too many dice were being thrown about for my liking, these new rules look a lot better and I'm glad that you have removed most of the Nuke rules from v0.8. They were a nightmare when you had six nukes flying about.
Using Raiders as PD was a great idea, but from playing that game I managed to mess all of my PD rolls up on several occasions and in one example the Basestar got smashed by the Beast's chin guns and suffered really badly (maximum damage and a reactor implosion. Yeah, I rolled 5 Crits...). Needless to say I had a swarm of Raiders undamaged and a Basestar looking like it'd had one of its arms ripped off. I know that this is meant to represent what happens in the shows but it was adding to the insane amount of paperwork I was running. Is there anyway to ease up on the paperwork needed for using the Raiders as PD? Maybe have them refresh each turn but it classes as a new swarm launched?
Sorry that those comments were for v0.8, the new stuff looks good and I'm glad the Colonials get AF now. Sorely needed in the prior edition. Maybe halve the AD if the AF is used to represent the Battlestars change in priority for its weapons.
Cheers for putting your time and effort into this.
