V2.11 is now posted. This fixes the formatting boo-boo in the Raiders and adds the Corillani. Maybe...just maybe, I'll get the conversion project done before...
Charlie, Thanks again for your incredible work. We've certainly had use of it recently in our B5 Wars crossover campaign - we use VBAM to resolve battles that...
Thanks! Even if I don't get them all done in the immediate future, I do intend to get the Narn finished before the move so that all the major races will be...
You're the man! In our campaign battle there were Descari units present, but I just grabbed the closest approximation based on the B5 SCS' and used those stats...
[snip] ... Tyrel: Great reporting as usual! How long does it take to do a full turn of the game? It's got to take some time with all those factions! -Bren...
Bren, ... Depending on the political climate and what all is going on, I can usually run through all of the powers in about an hour or so, or about an average...
In my conversions, at least, matter is used to designate a ship class that uses a weapon with ammo requirements, such as railguns. This is generally reflected...

Hey all: I had this 'wild' idea for a VBAM solo-game of mine and I wanted to send it to the group for its proper burial before I think about it too much (okay,...

... Perhaps try and slow down tech advances, by needing 3-4 advances to gain a level? Luck would still be involved, but not to as big an extent (overloading on...
... That could work. Alternativly you could make these TLs totally independent from tech advancement rolls. These would be used normally to make new ship...
... When you get into developing specific new classes of units for use in a campaign, I would probably recommend breaking them out so that the normal tech...
... I have something similar written up as well. I'd rather base it on economic cost rather than size as I feel that it is a better indicator. For my purposes...
The ROAD TO VICTORY contest is a special promotion we are running through May 8, 2005 to promote both current and future VBAM Games products. All that it takes...
