| SFB is a great game for the tactically minded.
It is essentially based on power management and tactical movement.
It does take a while to learn all the intricacies of the optional rules but an easy entry is the classic federation v klingon battle. In the beginning you will believe the feds to be more powerful, but when you get a bit more experianced at the game you will discover the ships points are pretty well balanced.
Be warned however it is not a quick game to play, and if you play more than one ship each it can take many hours to play.
The ship movement impulse chart is a great way to work out movement with varying speeds, I have long tried to replace the D&D initiative system with it... unsucessfully. |
