... I agree with Todd. The TAs are -2/hex weapons which reduces their effectiveness. A smart fighter pilot can take advantage of this by staying at range. Also...
Hi Dale, Back in the day we broke down the SCS penalties from crippling by hull type. For a full size warships (4 sides and a center section), I would destroy ...
Thanks Jay, that's very helpful! Overall, despite a few "glitches", I've been very happy with VBAM's combat resolution engine (skirmish) for use in our...
You're welcome Dale! In the very original system we had some very specific outlines defined for each type of ship, but I think that summarizes the effect well....
Jay, Thanks! After this campaign - coming up on 2 years now - I don't know that I'll run another campaign soon after. But the one I'm doing has plenty of...
I just bought VBAM today via RPGNow. Very nice! However, is the errata on the VBAM website incorporated into the PDF I got today? Also, in the rules it says:...
... Yes, all of the errata has been integrated into the latest version. I think there were a few minor spelling errors and a few rule numbering issues that...

Hi, I'm curious - what software was used to create the map in Campaign Reports under Babylon5 And the Sky Full of Stars? It looks very nice....
... Thanks! I used Adobe Illustrator 8 to create that map. It is a fairly standard vector drawing program. About any vector drawing program should be capable...
The fancier map I did was with some shareware called Universe, while the plain one was done in good ol' MS Paint. Universe gives you a nice background and some...
I read about an expansion to core VBAM that has lots of moderators options including activating non-player empires (NPEs) and so on. When does that come out?...
Having read through the rules now, I'm very interested in a game. To that end, I've posted on a gaming forum called RPOL (see link below) for interest, and...
... I wouldn't mind playing or, if the game ends up with few enough players (5 or so), moderating instead. My plate is pretty full, but I would be willing to...
... It seems I predicted your question :) The Companion should be out next month, if all things go as planned. Right now the NPE section is finished (minus a...
Hello! ... Cool. I can think of a few players on this list that may be interested in joining another game too! ... There are plenty of settings available,...
... You are welcome to my Wing Commander conversion too, if you promise not to give them to Rainer, Peter, or Charlie ;) . I think someone made a Star Trek...
Wow, thank you very much for taking the time to answer me in such detail, Tyrel. I think I will have to wait until the expansion comes out before beginning to...
Wow, this is a great list! I think a Wing Commander setting would really be interesting, so I guess right now it's between that and B5. Your idea about...
Hello again, ... Thanks! ... It is one of my favorites. I have such good memories of those games, and it translates so well into VBAM. ... I even have notes on...
This idea is exciting. With admirals each with their own spheres and border world forces, I imagine (having never actually played before) that this would make...
... I am glad you like it. The cooperative campaign does offer a very easy way to manage players since they are working together on economics, and a direct...
I could probably run this battle over the weekend, and update the turns soon. Poor Tyrel never does well against Steve with my dice. -Jay ... From: Steve...
... I don't know if it is in detail as much as very long rambling, but hopefully I was able to be of some assistance :) The expansion won't change any of the...
... No, the Kilrathi loaded up in the K-Van and are headed home "helluva fast" -- we ran out of parts for our great death weapons so are going back home to...
... If I only had photoshop on this machine, and a picture of the A-Team van...... ... I told you it was high attrition, but nobody believed me ;) . I jush...
Having only recently been introduced to the system, I'm not certain which parts lend themselves to roleplay and which don't. If this were a face to face game...
