Gaming Aids?

[Dangerousbeans]

First of all, hello! I just bought into this game with a friend ( I've gone with Decados, purely for the sculpts but after reading the rules I'm pretty happy with my choice and he Hawkwind ) and after reading through the rules it seems like there will be a lot to keep track of! So I was wondering if anyone has made anything to make the game go smoother? I'm thinking:

- Roster sheets for ships
- cheat sheet
- turn templates
- counters (shields, hull points etc)

If no one has then I'll probably rattle something up, in which case can you help me make a list of everything that would be needed in terms of counters? Rosters would be better IMO (a tidy table is a happy table). I'm thinking rosters should include:

- name/number/something to identify the ship
- Remaining shields
- Remaining Hull points
- space to note critical effects
- crew

Anything else? Any help will be much appreciated.

The official Data Cards are coming soon.

There is a Babylon 5 ACTA turn/arc template that is very useful, if you can find one.

as shields are so up and down I use counters from firestorm armada to record them. has worked fine so far.

things to record really are damage (on mine I have different colour when crippled), troops and crit levels.

Ooooooooo, 'official data cards' sounds great. Maybe I'll hold off for a while then. I'm a typical OCD gamer, everything has to be nice, neat and colour matched!

I'm planning on creating my own roster sheet similar to the ones I used in B5
