"Are you a space gamer?" Topic

Do you play miniature wargames which involve spacecraft in space?

Have played BFG and Full Thrust.

Had some fun games with Full Thrust and Silent Death

Sometimes.

I do miss The Space Gamer though.

Yes.
Silent Death and X-Wing 1.0. I tried X-Wing 2.0, but did not like the changes

BFG, BSG(Battlestar Galactica) and Star Wars.

Yes I do. I play Battle Fleet Gothic, X-Wing, Star Wars Armada, Star Trek Attack Wing, Battlestar Galactica (the Ares Games/Wings of War version) and Full Thrust (their universe).

No

As the creator of Generic Outlandishly Big Spacefleets! (GOBS!), you bet I do! thegobspage.com

I also play X-wing, and have worked up a new ship-on-ship duel system I call Star Captain (if anybody wants to try it out, send a PM or stick my member name in front of the @ symbol and add aol.com to it.)
(For more on Star Captain: link )

I do miss The Space Gamer though.

Thank you!

Yes, with homegrown rules – Eggs in Space.

Not recently, but yes.

No.

I was for Babylon Five and had plans for others but that destroyer has entered the wormhole.

Like to be but just don't want to buy the terrain to make various planets look good.

Yes.

Yes.

No

Full Thrust and Colonial Battlefleet are my go to games for capital ships, Star Eagles when I want fighter action.

Robert

Absolutely. Very much so.

Have an occasional run with "Red Chicken Rising"-- nothing more serious.

Yep, lots of them.

Thanks

John

Absolutely. I've played lots of different systems and even invented a few of my own.

I have messed around with Silent Death and Full Thrust.

Yes

I've played a number of systems over the years, but never stuck with any.

No

Mostly hex and counter. I did play Silent Death a few times and would like to get back to it. So sad that ICE never did put out X-Decom the boarding action sister game. Really, I'd like to do an rpg. I know it's been talked about. I suggested it to Bruce Neidlinger back in the ICE post bankruptcy days but he wasn't interested at the time as they were already selling Space Master.

Babylon 5 ACTA, Federation Commander, and X-Wing.

I played a game called Vipers in Space at a convention in Orlando Florida several years ago using Battlestar Galactica models that was a lot of fun. Would love to play more Battlestar Galactica games from the original series, but rarely ever find them at conventions. I have also really enjoyed playing X-Wing version 1.0.

Definitely! Full Thrust, Silent Death, BFG, SFB/FC, Interceptor (both the original Renegade Legion plus the new Aetherstream version), Leviathan, Dropfleet Commander, Firestorm Armada. Plus X-Wing and SW Armada although both of those have mostly fallen by the wayside.

I play Stars & Lasers spaceship combat game.

Yes. Full Thrust and Stars & Lasers.
