Are there any areas that give a step by step walkthrough for a sample turn in a game? I looked through the files and didn't see any. I am a little confused on...
Last paragraph should state.......... Also I have purchased all the Sups, are there ANY optional rules that you believe SHOULD be thrown directly into a new...
... Just cannot leave it alone. It was not possible to make ships with cost 1. It is in version 29 so long as the SU is kept under 70. Few other small changes....
Hi John, ... I actually made one for an upcoming product. As far as any existing ones, I believe in the campaign journals there are a few. I will check a...
John, I have several campaign diaries that give alternating levels of detail about what I was doing. None of them explicitly state everything I did on each ...
Thank you very much. I am having a blast. This is probably the coolest little sandbox I have ever found to play in. John ... detail about ... each ... ...
... Glad I could be of assistance! I know a lot (okay, most) of my campaigns use a lot of house rules, but I try to note them where possible. The diaries ...
A bit of a stretch for the newsgroup perhaps.................. but I have always been interested in a product similar to VBAM for the political side of a...
... There's already a "Fire as She Bears" edition, which if I'm not mistaken is combat in the age of sail. So I don't see why a medieval/fantasy addition would...
Good morning, Both a historical and fantasy themed campaign product are in the queue. We used FASB Edition as a gauge to see if there would be interest in such...
John, This interests me as well, sounds like you have done some great research on the topic. Jay does have some development stuff on Fantasy VBAM if I recall....
I've thought about this a couple of times, only to dismiss it as something I would never finish anyway. But if a concerted effort was to be made to write a...
Twice I have fiddled with lining VBAM rules up with the For The Masses game - so medieval / fantasy. Never finished it either time, though. And its all trapped...
If you haven't been over to the VBAM forums, I've put up a set of expanded rules for VBAM:SX in the Unofficial Source section. Note that quite a bit is...
We have dabbled with the idea in the past, and I did some notes a long time back, but ran into a few "scope" issues that prompted me to work on other projects...
I agree with a regional map being the easiest to work with. Since we are on the ground, border terrain might have to be taken into consideration for strategic...
Since I have been playing VBAM solo for a while, one could expect me to have gotten a grasp for most of its details. However, there remains one thing that is...
Good morning! ... If I may ask, do you have a particular setting in mind? I assume you must be doing a start-from-scratch style scenario, and not plan to use a...
Keep the ideas coming everyone! What we really need to decide is how are we going to slice up "historical" to be managable pieces. Otherwise it will ...
When directed damage is being applied to a target, that target benefits from a multiplier to its DV. What happens when a ship that has been the target of...
When a TF has only one squadron which is the case: (a) The squadron is the de facto flagship squadron and therefore the flagship has a level 2 formation and...
It always takes 10 points to cripple a 10 DV ship, or destroy a crippled ship. It is easier to calculate by dividing the damage done by Directed Damage by the...
... This is something that we have been working on a bit lately, and though we don't have a perfect solution assembled yet, here is something that I have been...
Directed Damage multipliers just apply for converting the damage across. Working from your example and memory (book is across the room), a Formation Level 2...
... In the unadulterated CSCR, option "A" is correct. If using the Skirmish CSCR, option "B" is correct. More properly, the Skirmish rules give the player the...
Oh, on this topic, I thought of another option that I investigated last year. You can create design "archetypes" that players can research in lieu of actual...
BTW, does anyone have any recent campaign diaries to share? I haven't seen any posted for quite awhile, and I know I never posted my Crossing of Space diary...
Given the fact that I am just piecing together my first VBAM campaign, I have been wondering if there was a group consensus between the two methods of...
