At some point, somewhere, I remember reading a piece in which one of the Steves discussed which earth empires and nation-states served as the inspirational analogue for each of the SFU empires.

I've started collecting Reaper Miniatures 10mm line of minis for their game C.A.V. It's a mechs game, but with lots of infantry and vehicles -- all of which I find to be very good proxies for SFM unit ... |

The very things that put some people off of SFB are beginning to attract me: the minutiae, the immense detail, the subtle interactions that can have all kind of unforeseen tactical effects....

I haven't played a lot of FedCom, but I think the huge shift between the two is in planning and resource allocation.
A whole lot can happen in 32 individual impulses, and it can be excruciating to ... |

Dale McKee's "Return of the Hood" in CL25 is one of my favorite pieces of fiction. Never played the scenario though. |

No, the breadth and depth of the Captain's edition is central to the appeal of the game for me. I love the long, rich history of ship development and functional diversity, with all the fiddly rules to ... |

Resurrecting this thread to suggest that the Reaper 10 mm C.A.V. line seems ideal for SFM. I picked up a bunch of these on ebay last summer, and backed their recent Kickstarter.

I'm not in the UK, but I would say, yes. Definitely worth getting into.
This is a game system with nearly 40-year-old roots, and it's not going anywhere. The rules are stable and very solid. There ... |

I have a bunch of GHQ and Langton 1:1200 wooden ship minis that I have collected over the years. I haven't done any in a while, but besides the Starline minis, those would be my next choice.

OK, as a neophyte painter, I have to ask: What's your method for painting the rectangular white porthole lights?
Maybe I'm using crappy brushes, but I seem unable to create that kind of detail. |
