I'm going to make a couple of other minor mods before the next game.

Losing Achilles was a real blow though. It was a true recce through. Now at least I know the relative strengths and weaknesses of the combatants much better after actually seeing them in action rather than just reading a stat line.

I think I...Yeah there are some mechanisms for that. I think I'll simplify it a bit and when they hit five kills and 'Ace' status I'll bump them to rep 5. <br /><br />There is a lot of ways to personalise the pilots and capital ships. For example you can give the pilots and the capital ships traits and you can rate each section in a capital ship differently. <br /><br />I chose to keep it pretty simple at this point so that I didn't have to remember so much during my first play through. <br /><br />This week I'll write a bit of a review of the rules and what I did and didn't adopt for the campaign so I can try to give you guys a bit more of an overview of the rules etc. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244248056064945123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534774907931463952.post-18970877398398404182018-03-11T22:01:38.082+10:002018-03-11T22:01:38.082+10:00Excellent finale to the encounter Tim, especially ...Excellent finale to the encounter Tim, especially after it seemed a bit of "a close run thing" for a few moments!<br />The Recce force took some bad knocks but pulled through - and now they have an idea what they're up against :-)The Wargame Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654413349305659155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534774907931463952.post-22722527276554095242018-03-11T07:27:55.246+10:002018-03-11T07:27:55.246+10:00Do the pilots get better over time ?
