Has anyone tried the Aracnonoi web yet?
I have had a few trial games using Vassal, the last was two spinner class
Cruisers (spinwell and Spinwheel) against three Terran Union Catfish Mk.2 Scout Cruisers.
The dice throws were poor to say the least! Objective I set was for the
Aracnonoi to capture at least one Catfish so that they could get their
"hands" on the Terran Fire Control equipment. One Catfish managed to get
away (Deep Seeker), another did not have much of a chance due to speed loss
(Deep Watcher) and the third (Deep Lurker)was weaponless having lost the last of it's weapons trying to get
through the web, and stopped (speed 0) having just bounced off!

Spinwell turned too early, this allowed Deep Seeker to turn away and get enough distance to escape although not undamaged.

BTW The Shipyard was updated earlier this month (in case nobody noticed)to v2E29 and revised sourcebook for the Watchee just posted in the files. I included graphics and text for Vassal use.
Update: "Watchee" seems to have become popular since my first draft of the original booklet, so I have changed the name of this species to Watikree. :roll:
