Topic: Z4Miniatures Terran Diplomatic Corps (TDC)

These are the stats I've worked up for Z4 Miniatures TDC:

http://z4miniatures.blogspot.com/

For the most part the stats are modeled after the miniatures with further direction from their creator. The only exception to this are the two destroyers, where I added some additional armaments to make them more playable. These stats have seen about 20 games now and I think I've gotten them to a point where they are both fun to play and competitive. I'll be working on stats for the Assault Carrier next to add to these.

Re: Z4Miniatures Terran Diplomatic Corps (TDC)

Nice disigns with a powerful forward battery. No hyperdrive lets you slip in more firepower for the HS. Are these intended to be carried to other star systems by another craft or in your setting is there no need for hyperdrive?

Re: Z4Miniatures Terran Diplomatic Corps (TDC)

They have FTL capability, it just can't be used within the course of the game. The eventual plan for these was to use them in a campaign, and we didn't want the ability to zip out of combat like that.
