If it's anything like Crusade, they did have individual ships, though only around 12 or so ship packs total - i picked up a pack of Skyhawks, a friend got a Fed BC. Packs appeared to be mainly Fed (and mainly Fast Cruisers) and Skyhawks. No Klingons.
Painted Gorn, Tholian and Kzinti were nice 8) (i'm still awaiting the True Plasma user'S :wink: , then the Gorn :lol: )

True plasma users, cough splutter. :shock:
Oh wait, you must mean the ISC :lol:
We will indeed have Star Fleet stock at York, and will be running demo games - right in front of our stand (up the stairs on the first level, just turn right), I believe.
Feel free to come up and confuse me with rules questions!

Not going to dictate what you can and cannot do at a convention!
However, I am afraid we can't do it on our demo table - as what you want to do is not really a demo
Well, that was fun.
Watched one game, participated in a second. Each was two Fed CAs against a D7 and a D6, the Feds were toasted both times. Klingon agility forced the Feds to attempt HETs, usually with calamitous results, either ripping out their own impulse decks or succeeding in the HET only to fail to dodge the scenery (guess what an asteroid does to your no-claims).
Perhaps massed photons from a large Fed fleet can score enough internals/criticals to make a difference. That did not happen in these games.
Saw the minis close up for the first time, most impressed.
My thanks to Matt for an entertaining afternoon.

You were either playing with or watching me rip out my impulse trying to het. Gotta say I don't see Feds winning many small games against klingons. But I can see them being better in bigger games.
Though to be fair those were upgraded D6/D7s we were playing against. Someone had given them FH disrupters, but having looked in my new shiny rule book they should have been F (as expected). I think their Ph2s were accurate +2 as well instead of accurate +1. At least that is the story I'm sticking to when it comes to any inquiry into the loss of the ship.

Badges? We *do* need some steenkin' (name) badges...
Hello, Lee, pleased to (have) met you.
That was a D6 variant unknown to the Klingon fleet - or at any rate to Hydran Naval Intelligence - with FH disruptors, but only two PH-1's and one drone launcher. Sort of a D5-and-a-half.
The D7's phaser-2 arcs were a bit...erm...generous...as well.
However, I think the rot set in after Matt (umpiring) said he was siding with the Federation after I started throwing Special Actions about. I don't think the Feds ever made a good dice roll after that, and my Klingon wingman's shooting was simply flawless.
At that point, Matt looked quite sufficiently harassed without me shooting holes in his quick-reference sheets
I think the Feds would have done much better by taking smaller ships - FF/FFB/DW/NCLs - to get better turn modes and possibly an extra hull as an initiative sink.
But, of course, then the Klinks rock up with F5s or E4s.
