The nice thing is that the enemy can screw up by failing his Special maneuver rolls. So let's say I get on the tail of a guy and he tries a Special move and fails, he won't automatically get away like some games allow for. Instead he fails and is a sitting duck. So to answer your question you don;t have to think 2 or 3 moves ahead like in other games.<br /><br /> Ed the THW Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292937946470988246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568407646833164205.post-72877753093802527542013-04-07T23:05:23.968-07:002013-04-07T23:05:23.968-07:00Ah, nice.

I think if you use your common sense you'll do well.<br />Cheers,blacksmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11131707654108494186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568407646833164205.post-42250972091235628202013-04-07T10:27:28.245-07:002013-04-07T10:27:28.245-07:00Great batrep.

I was looking for something like this for so many years. Finally I have an excuse to buy some fighter miniatures :-)<br /><br />Do these rules include obstacles like asteroids? Oh...and does returning to your homebase call for a test?<br /><br />Whiteface / OliverWhitefacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11097769963186602411noreply@blogger.com
