Fun bat-rep and nice to see two of my favorite sci fi starship genres - Space Battleship Yamato and Silent Death: The Next Millennium - being put to good use! Excellent.

Thank you Leland!

Thank you Leland!

You're quite welcome! Your AAR has inspired me to (1) finish my three EDF cruiser models as Silent Death DDGs, and (2) get me some of those nice EDF carrier models before I shed my mortal coils (to say nothing of building those shiny new Yamato 2199 Garmillas warships I've got stashed in my closet at the moment)....

Well, glad to be of help

And I haven't had time to check out the blog report. May have to have a good cry first.

Very interesting, 5150 star army was somewhat of a disappointment to me but this might actually get me to look at fighter command.

FC is different to SN. It's about tiny space fighters dogfighting in space and it has more chrome. Please check my blog to see many AAR as well as some reviews from players who bought FC.

Sorry for the double post, but this appeared as good a place as any to ask. I must say CC appeals more to me then FC (I'm more of a dreadnought person then a fighter person, sue me )

As far as I understand Fighter command allows you to play a fighter ace trough a campaign with many other fighters who get upgraded throughout play, with capital ships being more of a background element then foreground. Carrier command on the other hand allows you to guide a (single?) Capital class ship trough a campaign, with fighters being a part but not as important? Am I correct here?

If I were to buy Carrier command (and I likely will) what would buying Fighter command add to my game specifically?


On a more personal note, I have been considering getting myself some brigade models fleet scale ships, but not sure if i want to go all in full fleet warfare, it sounds like I could do a bit of a "micro game in a box" with this game if I were to get myself a few of the (cooler) dreadnoughts and other capitals. And then add a decent array of fighters, based individually (probably with magnet bases) am I right in thinking this?

Carrier Command is a supplement for Fighter Command, so you must buy FC to be able to play CC. Carrier Command is still Fighter Command but with new rules specific for big ships like Carriers or Dreadnoughts, and fighters are still very important.
In CC your ship is a capital ship with fighters in it and not just a single figther or a flight of them, and there are two campaigns in the ruleset. A narrative one with 15 linked encounters and a generic one with 8 generic encounters that can be played endlessly as they are never the same.
I think you can perfectly do as you say with brigade model ships as far as fighters are based individually.

Ah right, I seemed to recall somewhere it being stand alone but can't find anything about that so I must have miss understood.

Sounds good, I might find myself doing a report of a solo campaign on here. Funny, solo normally doesn't appeal to me but this sounds like it would. Cool.

Thanks for the fast reply!
