Hod K'el: thanks for the reminder. I don't use suicides very often, so I'm clearly prone to errors. Usually, I don't like to do the "special" shuttles, as it doesn't fit my sense of flavor, but, unusual circumstances call for unusual actions.

Before playing rules I don't use often, I really need to ...

Ravenhull: I live in the middle of nowhere. Not a lot of gamers, so I doubt if I'll be playing outside of my gaming group anytime soon, and tournament play is even more unlikely. That said, you do have a very good point. One thing I try to do is always discuss house rules in play with any players ...

Basic summary of the Battle with the Juggernaut:

Set-up: Location map, 12 panels (30 x 32 hexes), centered on Class-M planet, one comet (2 hexes in length) at range 5, in direction 6 from planet, headed toward it. Kzinti and Juggernaut start at opposite corners.

Turn 1: Basic approach turn ...

Are you looking for three players, every man for himself, or would two-on-one be an option? When I was running demoes at a local game store, I found Battle Station assaults to be a good way to set up good games, in which we had up to five people playing. It was just divided into defense and offense ...

With a few tips taken from Marcus' post, I've revised the fleet as follows: Z-BC, CL, NCA with F-NCL support. Otherwise, the plan is essentially the same; hit from multiple facings, and try to get somebody into position to hit the Juggy's engines after the shield gets distracted. Even a slow trickle ...

Thanks for the ideas! I'll take them into strong consideration, as they hold a lot of merit.

I haven't seen the Juggy scenario, as I don't own KA. My opponent just wanted to fly the Juggy, and gave me the points spread, so I built a fleet for it, looked at the Juggy and started drumming up ideas.

Totally understood, Steve. I only posted this as I've seen a lot of complaints about the cloak, namely that a lot of people didn't think it even worth using, so I thought this might help recapture some of the old cloak flavor for them. As I said in the original post, I didn't have any intention or ...

Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this, but it seemed appropriate to me...

First and foremost, I realize that the likelihood of my proposal being worked into the FC system is very low. One of the main points that stands in favor of FC and of its parent, SFB: Captain's Edition, is that the rules ...

I'm preparing for a battle with the Juggernaut, and I thought it would be interesting to try it with the Kzinti. The fleet I've selected is the Z-DNH, BC, and DF. Some basic tactical ideas are obvious, of course. If possible, I'm thinking I position either the BC or the DNH in one of the rear side ...
