Re: VBAM 2e: The Fall of the Margravate

There is also an interesting - and disturbing - intelligence report your superiors back home intercepted and sent your way. Apparently the Sineca colony in this region is being wracked by ground warfare, and civilians taking video of the combat have enabled the Confederation's intelligence to put t...

Re: VBAM 2e: The Fall of the Margravate

Of course the labor adviser is wanting you to pay off the unions! This kind of colonial graft is appalling, especially when those funds would be better spent outfitting merchant freighters to spread our influence throughout this sector. Tsk, tsk. To ship what exactly, Mr Commissioner? Without the g...

Re: VBAM 2e: The Fall of the Margravate

As your adviser for labor for this sector I must encourage you to settle with the unions on Orestes immediately. We can afford this kind of trouble and this sector is well known for its instability. Maybe if we had the resources to spare, but I do not believe we do. In the interest of keeping our tr...

Re: VBAM's December 2015 Update

I actually do have 2d models for these that used the orientation of the counter to track configuration. It worked great in a PBEM setting, but fell apart when I started playtesting live. The blocks allow for me to have 6 different configurations, including various states of damage. Of course there i...

Re: VBAM Second Edition to Starmada Nova

Thanks! I will take a look.

This may be worth cross posting to the list too since it seems we have the largest Starmada audience there.

Admittedly I need to make myself more familiar with Nova. I was a huge Starmada X fan, so it is a bit of a change.

Re: With A Purpose quick question

A system like AIX could be implemented for larger non-aligned powers, but a WAP campaign seems smaller and more limited to begin with, so something like I brainstormed above might be helpful for making the player-neutral relationships a little more dynamic. WAP definitely has to handle a lot of min...

Re: With A Purpose quick question

Great! The book is clear enough that the commonsense answer which I guessed at was also the right one, so that's a compliment to WAP's adherence to its general goals and mission. Thank you. I am afraid it was one of those things that just slipped through the cracks and will be corrected. One other ...

Re: With A Purpose quick question

Thanks for your message. Yes, neutral powers will play an important role. It will also depend on if you are playing with one of the base scenarios (which have plenty of neutral powers), but it sounds like you are looking to create your own scenario. In this case let's start with WAP 4.3 Creating You...

Code Red.” With a Purpose shifts the strategic focus of the Victory by Any Means campaign system to the regional level, casting the players in the role of military governors or admirals that are in charge of overseeing a collection of border wo...

Good question. I may have some saved files from the PBEM module Keith did.

Thanks! We had a lot of fun making this one. I think it will be easily expandable, and work nicely with campaigns and stand alone gamers. I am collecting information from the first blind playtest now so I will keep you posted!
