Finalized Rules for our Group
Map and Fleet Roster sheets at the bottom of the post. (Use the roster per fleet)
You only need record the points available to spend, fleet points and individual ship points do not matter. Recording the ships and upgrades does.
Start at one of the ‘Home’ Planets
•Starting Out
–200 points spent on ships and upgrades
–Rebels have a Corvette Base ship with a 50 pt defense force.
–Imperials have a Vigil Base Ship with a 30 pt defense force.
–One planet.
–Only one Named Pilot allowed to start
•May add extra named pilots as resources are captured.
–If a named pilot is killed he may not be re-acquired.
•May divide points into 1 or more fleets.
–Must record what ships are in what fleet.
–May divide again each turn.
–Fleets must jump to the same planet to merge.
•Fleets may make 1 jump per turn from a planet to the next planet along the jump lines
•Planets are captured if a fleet jumps in and is uncontested or you win a battle for a contested planet.
•You do not need to leave a fleet at a captured planet
•Each planet held yields that many points re-enforcements per turn
–May be added to any fleet and spent on any ship/upgrade
–May up grade any non unique ship to the next non unique level for the difference in points.
–Named pilots must be bought as new ships at full cost.
•Shipyard
–For each ship destroyed in battle in a turn you control the shipyard roll an attack die. On the roll of a ‘critical’ that ship is repaired and can be kept in the fleet it was in.
•Asteroid Mining
–For each turn you control the field roll an attack die. On a hit or critical result you may provide one torpedo, bomb or missile to one ship for free.
•Technology Station
–For each turn you control the station roll an attack die. On a hit you may provide one ship or sensor upgrade to one ship for free.
•Pilot Upgrades
–Any pilot may be given any number of upgrade cards by paying the face value of the pilot upgrade card. They must still adhere to the rules on taking actions or any other rules either on the card or in the rules governing them. A dead pilot is still a dead pilot and all upgrades are lost if a pilot is killed/ship destroyed. You may only give upgrades to pilots who fought in a battle that campaign turn and only one upgrade per pilot per turn in which they fought.
•Battles
–Battles occur if opposing forces jump to the same planet or a force jumps to a planet with a fleet stationed there.
–A force may chose to retreat back along its original jump route rather than engage or along a route to another controlled planet if already stationed at the planet.
–Ships may retreat from a battle once started via any table edge, except the oppositions start edge, at anytime. If you leave via the oppositions table edge roll an attack die, on a hit or critical symbol the ship is destroyed. Retreating ships count as destroyed for the purposes of victory points for winning the battle.
–Destroyed ships are considered destroyed permanently.
–Asteroids are rolled for as follows
•Roll a hit die
–On a critical, no asteroids
–On a blank, 2 asteroids
–On a focus, 4 asteroids
–On a hit 6 asteroids
–Base Ships
•A rebel Base Ship has a 50 pt force permanently assigned to it.
•Imperial base ships have 30 pts of defense force but one extra laser turret. (see engaging a base ship)
•This force only fights in defense of the ship.
•Force must be recorded at the time the campaign starts and cannot be changed or added to.
•Base ships may jump from planet to planet just like fleets and may engage in battles just like any other fleet.
–Engaging a Corvette Base ship
•Friendly or opposing fleets may jump to a Base ship just like a planet. You must be within 1 jump of the planet the Base ship is at and announce that you are jumping to the ship.
•If opposing forces jump to a Base ship the attacked player may stand and fight or retreat just like a fleet.
•If the player stands and fights and his Base ship is destroyed they become part of the other players team and they may still fight with there fleets, but as part of the winning players faction.
•Base Ships may engage each other.
•Base ships have the following profile
–PS 4
–Att 4 (may attack twice as a Rebel three times as Imperial . Counts as secondary weapons and may target different ships. Have 360 fire arcs)
–Agility 0
–Hull 30
–Shields 20
–Move 1 forward, 1 Soft Left, 1 Soft Right or may remain stationary.
–Winning the Campaign
