I had done the original play test software. Someone offered to update it (can't remember who) in a web format I thought so I haven't done anything with it. I...

Hi, just having a thought of VBAM being used to model real-world nations. Middle Ages Europe, or early North America colonies, for example. Anyone done...
It hasn't been done yet, but I know there are plans for a historical version of VBAM. The pending VBAM: Fire as She Bears book is the first step towards a...
... Jay's heading up the Historical project, which as Charlie mentioned FASB Edition is a prelude towards. Except for modeling certain specifics, VBAM is...
... The only demo links are from the sales sites, given that is where most people find us, and if they are interested enough in the product they will go there...
Emiricol, From the looks of things you are really pushing the Macro improvements through! Have you had time to pull ships back from the front to upgrade at ...
... Yep! I have done some preliminary writing which has required me to take on a fair bit of abstraction. My work on FASB gave me some valuable insight into...
Emiricol, BTW, I noticed this a few times before, but just wanted to let you knew: the United Earth Alliance's custom race traits actually total up to +4,...
Should be interesting! Of course the real point here is to see how costly the Helvik can make the invasion, as I don't see them stopping it cold short of...
Ok, here's the situation. The UEA suffered some losses, mostly to its screening ships, and annihilated the Helvik fleet and all its fighter flights. I'm using...
Side note: I forgot the Helvik are lousy pilots (race trait) but decided against redoing the battle. I also wasn't sure whether the Helvik should have had...
Hello Emiricol, Easy enough. The first thing that happens is the initial invasion and beachhead formation. Your units must seize a foothold on the planet. This...

Tyrel, ... The basic CSCR and ground combat rules are meant to be the most simple with little tracking, hence the auto-cripple and attrition repair. I...

Hi Tyrel, thanks again for this. The Marines held the beachhead and now gobs of Marines are on the surface! Productivity is suppressed to 0 as well, though if...
