Federation Commander

How do you go into PBEM mode?

It's one of the options in the pulldown menu in the log-in window. Instead of "SFB Online" or "SFB (demo)" or whatever it says (I'm not at home at the moment), scroll down to at or near the bottom. "PBEM Mode" is one option. Playing in PBEM Mode should give you full ...

You can shoot at the other ship if you're in "PBEM Mode," if I'm not mistaken.

Oh, and _Active Ingredient_ *is* smelly. That's why I won't play with him anymore.

This probably can't be replicated, but after redownloading the client, my right-hand-side tabs in the main menu (Energy, Fire, etc.) are about half the time getting stuck, as in I can't move between them--can, in fact, select all five (?) without anything happening.

A saved game I had from pre ...

I'm a bit confused about the redownload. Does this just mean I should update to the latest, or should I actually uninstall and reinstall?

Pretty sweet.

There's a *short* article in Communique #2 addressing Fed-style combat. It's in the Commander's Circle area, which you may already know about.

Other than not having any players, my problem with PD was just trying to figure out where to get a toehold. I'll give this a look; thanks.

The Starline minis are expensive relative to paper chits but probably not relative to other games with minis. Whereas a set of five ships lists for about $35, Battletech lances (four 'Mechs) are around as much or even a bit more. No doubt, the minis are an expensive way to go, but you can spend more ...

I'll have to check this out tonight. Thanks. I'm sure I'll be making more HETs and damn the consequences!

Thanks, Paul, for the reply.

I do have an account, but there are just lists of ships, and I don't have all the products to match them up.

I'm "jpat" over there, too. PM me sometime, though not this weekend, and we can set something up.

I'm not totally sure. Probably both "border" sets, KA, and RA. Battleships isn't in there. DK isn't. TA may or may not be.

It's $10 for three months for just FC or SFB. There are combo SFB/FC options as well. You can also pay by the year, though it's basically the same price as the quarterly rate.

All the good "Convoy" jokes are taken.

Nice work on the minis.

Hallloooooooo!

Paul may check in here. I know there are a few other players, too, as I have occasionally heard about them or even seen them in the wild.
