Topic: 2nd battle just completed
Hi
just finished our 2nd battle and myself and Andy (my long standing opponent) really like SX. We are both FT fans initially and don't want to get into the who's best argument. For our battles we use FT ships/background, FT movement (vector) and SX everything else.
Tonight was a 900 CR per side. Andy had 5 ships, I had 3. We used screens and there were no fighters or damage control/
Points to note
We think shields/screens a bit too powerfull. Love the screen allocation process but we think enforcing a screen value of 1 on each side and the rest to a max of 4 may be better. We had battleships with shields of 5 facing each other and not making a dent (each had a good mix of heavy/med/light laser combos)
Damage control is a bit too easy. We are thinking of one roll per 3 hull boxes of having a fixed roll (4+?) per hull box and then the fix roll.
Other than that, bloody brilliant. Love the game (combined wih certain FT elements).
In the morning I feel a need to order fighters and carriers from GZG (to match our 2 fleets)
Trouble is when are we going to get back to Armies of Arcana (the best fantasy mass combat rules going) ?............
