Rogue star ,osprey sci fi skirmish rules

Thanks for the update!

Here's to hoping that they put a charachter sheet online.  It would be great if there were an online charachter builder and stat-sheet creator like Andrea has made for his other games, but as this is an Osprey production, I'm not sure if that will happen.

The Warband creators are one of the best things about SBH and it's sister games.  They make it ridiculously easy to put together a warband and stat sheet.

I'm not going to hold my breathe. Osprey's typographical skills seem to be limited to 2 column tables drawn in MS Word - we can do much better.

When we do up any QRS or rosters we should post them here or BBG.

I got my package this morning. Minis look great, rulebook I will look at when I go to bed.

Got my book yesterday and been reading the rules. Quick question on the Activation Modifier's table. Are the + & - the wrong way around? The example given is Green character with 1 stress needs an 11 or better to activate. The target for activation is 8, with a -2 for Green and -1 for stress (from the table). I make that 5 not 11. The only way I get 11 is to add them.

Have I got this wrong?

Minus to your dice roll?

There are a lot of modifiers in this game.

I guess it depends on the logic you apply. The target number (TN) for activation is always 8. When the figure is green (-2) and has a stress marker (-1) you need to roll an 11 to reach the TN...

...nice rules, subpar wording.

Must admit I'm losing count of all the modifiers. This set of rules is crying out for a QRS!

Seems to be the current trend for skirmish games. IHMN/Blood Eagle has a lot, and my impression is that Broken Legions has no shortage, either.

I am very eager to see AARs and read the thoughts of you gentlemen after playing a few games - I find myself wanting in the department of light sci-fi entertainment, and am curious about Rogue Star. I just have too many rulesets sitting on the shelf after only one or two read-throughs,, and often not a single game...

Ok, another question. Is a medikit free? It's mentioned on Page 14 under First Aid, however I cannot find it in any of the equipment lists.

In the "Rogue Stars Fan Page", in Facebook, the author has put an entry about some erratas in the rulebook. This one is about the medikit:

The Miscellaneous equipment list is missing an entry for a medi kit (8xp, gives +2 to any first aid rolls). Yes getting the bonus from a medikit works for any character but getting it from a skilled medic is cheaper. But the medikit has the advantage you can pick it up from the body of a knocked out friend.

How many erratas are there allready?

I'm not on Facebook, so thanks for that. Makes me wonder what other useful tidbits I'm missing.

Here's whats on the facebook page so far:

From Andrea Sfiligoi
So some people are receiving the book and there have been a few spoofs spotted already :-( nothing major, but it seems it is impossible to publish a detailed ruleset without some last minute mistake creeping in. If possible I am asking the admin to make this a sticky note so we can keep here all typos etc. in some time I will publish an official errata and clarification sheet.
Rogue Stars errata spotted so far P.25 machine gun entry should have the Automatic and Infinite Rounds rules. The Miscellaneous equipment list is missing an entry for a medi kit (8xp, gives +2 to any first aid rolls). Yes getting the bonus from a medikit works for any character but getting it from a skilled medic is cheaper, point-wise. But the medikit has the advantage you can pick it up from the body of a knocked out friend and it gives a +2. The cost for Huge may seem wrong when compared with Big but it is correct. Huge has many minor advantages hidden in the scenarios. We just didn't have the space in the book to repeat all the minor rules.

Both are coming - I will post an update here ASAP!

Glad to hear it.

Hope to be able to look at mine soon as it should come in the post any day now.
