Part of the fun of Battlestations are the weird and unique ways players find to solve problems in a way no one (especially no referee) would've ever thought...

Unfortunately my players pulled an ingenious stunt that I couldn't think of ways of stopping that wouldn't defy common sense. Good for them - but it made the...
I had players ram the cruise liner in Terrorist Cruise Liner. They slowed way down to not do much damage and then knocked it off course so it was no longer...
Has anyone actually survived the Asteroid Investigation mission? I think it could be easier at the lower MD's, but my players were off the chart at MD 10...
I have ran it twice albiet with a much lower MD (3 or 4). The first time they barely made it out. This was with an "old style" human ship so they got one...
Most missions get very difficult with high MDs, that's the way it's supposed to be, I guess. In this particular mission, my both my groups escaped, but barely....
Every hex is filled with micro asteroids, so the pilot needs to dodge in every hex of movement. But I guess there could be some larger asteroids in the field...
This was actually the first mission ever attempted in our group. As such, we did a great many things wrong both in terms of rules and tactics. We also had a...
Some interesting maneuvers in my opinion are: If your ship is not moving everyone but the pilot can jump out an airlock. Then the pilot can pick up all the...
Admiral Siadek... can you answer this question please? Do you roll for Hull Stability (a) each and every time you take hull damage, even if you don't cross...
Happy to reply. Roll one hull check for each event regardless of whether or how many levels of hull integrity it takes you through. Even a ram which will...
In an early Pax playtest, I wanted to ram a ship that was on a dangerous course but my brother wouldn't let me because it was a form of attack. As you can...
Some of the missions don't scale as well as others. Something I've been doing for the newer stuff (fat lot of good that does you stuck with what you've got)...
As referee, you get to bend the rules for players to think outside of the red, green, blue and yellow sided box, and I love it! For those of you wondering, the...
... There's a new rule on Carry the Fallen bucket brigades (from Pax Galacticum): You cannot baton race a fallen target across the ship in one phase, but you...
I was afraid it would lead to other Gordian Knot solutions, like 'curing' critical patients with a disintegrator... and Jeff knows he would! -sen. si ... ...

Now THAT sounds like an idea and a challenge... We should start a new thread on evil and nasty tricks that a devious GM could (but probably never should) use. ...
Since I GM as much as I play, I'd be OK with that, too. :) Things like using the plot twist of overloader and the personality that allows high power levels...
Thanks for the reminder about this - It's some Battlestations merchandise I don't yet own! As to miniatures - I haven't read the book yet, but there may be a ...
