Ship Base Size Chart

[Chernobyl]

regreatable, i have seen some games where the players want the boresight to be right no the money and will go to extreme lengths using odd math and strange tools to make sure it is a perfect line. The game players also have a chess style rule once you let go of the model you can't touch it again.. thus boresight becomes to much of a hassle to mess with...

players like that need to get a life. this isn't ACTA-CAD, this is a tabletop game. that standard of accuracy isn't possible, playable, and certainly not fun. I'm there to play, not put theory-to-practice on the quadratic equation, or the pythagorean theorem - and I'm an engineer!

Glad there no longer in B5 and went some where else that way others can have fun. I like that decal Idea for the bases showing F, A and what not. I might have to change from just a arrow and paint the angles on with a arrow for the center. I wish there was more people who play over here so far its me and a friend both of us have only been play the game for a few months. I hate victorys and dodgeing carriers. I play minbari I look forward to the new rules. Most people play warhammer 40gay I mean k and warhammer fantasy, warmachine. every once and awhile a few do BFG. Im trying to get more in to B5 but have had no luck yet.

Having two stems on a ship is not problem in ACtA - simply nominate one of the two as the "main" stem for each ship and there's no issue.

That´s even in the rules, at least it was in 1st ed - I guess it is in 2nd ed as well.

Agreed, though I do confess to having a laser-equpiied tape measure for settling "thats never in your front arc". It has been very useful and often prevents arguements before they even start!

well, having a tool to show arc is fine. a buddy of mine uses one.. it does make it real easy.

I find the GF9 template is perfectly suitable and most players are mostly reasonable. And again GF9 boresight markers are actually quite handy in regards to who boresighted what.

As to boresighting itself, that I find to be relatively easy, for the most part if it possibly seems dubious I just ask my opponent to see and go with that. Most players I have played aren't actually that bad

Yeah, the GF9 template is great for a lot of things, just not drawing LOS from across the table.
