How Come - No Starship Battle Reports?
« on: October 07, 2010, 09:40:30 PM »
I was just wondering why there are no starship battle reports in here.

I mean... Starship combat is most certainly "Future Wars".

I might be wrong but think it is most likely due to most members being or at least commenting on 28mm in the main rather than smaller scales, though I have seen a few bits and some little 6mm or smaller VSF stuff on here

I'll be playing my first Starmada game next week...can't wait! The rules are awesome and so far they seem like the best rules set to me. 8)

--- I agree. I played a game last weekend (just using old Star Fleet Battle counters) and it was awesome!!

I rarely bother taking photos if we play a space ship game. I don't think they really make for much of a visual spectacle. I did post a report once, though.

I was about to post a similar question, when I surprised myself by actually looking to see if the question had been asked before. I gather from several comments that the listers consider Future Wars mostly interested in human figures, though I think 28mm vs 15mm may be too restricting.

I'm a regular on the VSF board, and love the ether flyers I see on occasion, but I also push ships on the table from B5, Star Trek, Star Wars, BSG, and universes not yet seen in media.

Hi, I'm Doug, and I'm a vacchead.

My question is: Would discussions just about fleets burning noiselessly in the aether be welcome here, or should I be thinking of suggesting a separate board?

Oh, if my search was less than exhaustive and this HAS been discussed, a link to same would be humbly appreciated.

Thank you!

Doug

There's no need for a separate board, as nobody is currently dicussing the topic.

On the other hand I'm sure if people want to discuss it here on this board then nobody would have a problem with that.

As the new game War Rocket gains currency I imagine that we may see some battle reports for that.

War Rocket, interesting.

Bab 5, BGFG and all that, slightly interesting but just not my 'thing'. I think most of the people prefer the humanity of individuals and their relation to vehicles and things.

I dunno. Post Apocalypse is probably the most frequent on this part of the forum, but its always nice to see other things.  :)
