Howdy,
Did a playtest for my new game, Exploding Spaceships on Saturday (2/24). The game system, The Skirmish System, was used with So Convenient for Hewing. There is a Facebook page for those rules; search by title.
So Convenient for Hewing is available Print on Demand from TMP link lulu.com for $24 USD. Again, search by title.
A few photos from the game below.
The Red Fleet raids a Blue system, and is met by the Blue Fleet defending. Ships are armed with Beams, or with Missiles; Beams can shoot 1 ft; missiles 3 ft. Limited ammunition for missiles. Units in this game represented divisions of ships. The clipboards are for tracking/matching ships to "black unknown" markers.
During battle the Blue Fleet lost more points of ships, but held the field. A victory for the Blue Fleet.
