We did a Three-on-three game with about 650 points a side. Even with several new players it went very well. You can find details here: link |

Our group likes to do large games with a lot of players and I'm thinking about ways to have multiple people activating ships to speed things along. |

Our group likes to do large games with a lot of players and I'm thinking about ways to have multiple people activating ships to speed things along. You might go with an initiative system: 1,2,3,4. All ships with initiative 1 activate,then all ships 2, etc… Shooting could be simultaneous between ships of the same initiative class. |

The mat is actually four 3x3 mats. Not sure where Joe got them. |

Beautiful set up and great collection.
I have only played 'one' game, found it just a bit complex for my taste. The ships are outstanding, but cost per ship, especially the capital ships can get pretty steep. Other wise I'd have Nebulon's (which 'served' w both rebel and the empire) and Mon Cals' by the dozen. I like the initiative idea, 'smaller, faster vessels would get to react first', or to add that 'fog of war', roll D6 or 10 per ship, something like B5 Wars IIRC.
And totally agree with *Repaint, all shooting could (Should) be simultanious. Anything other than simultanious combat just never seemed realistic to me. |
