VBAM Games Forums

I saw that a game was being started (I assumed a private one). Assuming it has indeed started, how is it going? Do you think you will advance it along much what with Thanksgiving coming up?

Is there any new information on when the game will be released?

Ambassador Leopold Brutzmann, House Hannover Delegation Leader to the Assembly, rises to speak: On the first and third bills before this great house we vote "Yea". We are particularly honored that the amendment we proposed was named in our House's honor. As to the second bill, while we do ...

House Hannover's Ambassador rises yet again (with some background chatter to the effect of "When will he be finished?) :roll: " This House also wishes to announce it's support of the other two bills before these gathered Houses. We are particularly supportive of the Exploration bill as we ...

House Hannover's Ambassador rises again: In light of my statement of support for the Independent System Repatriation Protocol I wish to announce that per Elector Johann's direction, the systems know as Lacaille and Lalanda are now to be considered under House Hannover's protection. OCC with all this...

3. Independent System Repatriation Protocol Any system lacking an Assembly delegation of its own shall, at the declaration of a House whose existing territory currently borders that system and whose non-civilian naval starships are the only warships in orbit within that system, be granted to that H...

While I also wish to keep the current stats, I do have a suggestion. Combine Science and Orbitals into single stat. Call it something like "General Traits", "Other Traits" or something simular (I also like "Intangables") Because (by what ever name) the stat is so "...

Yeah, sorry guys. It has been uphill for a number of reasons. On the plus side 2e edges closer.

On the 2E frount, do we have any idea how much closer?

I'm doing some solo playing using the 12Sept draft and a thought occured to me. Assume you have 2 systems (A and B for short). Both A and B have an unexplored jump lane that it is obvious will lead to a third system (C). Once you have explored the route from A to C (for example) does that mean you d...

If they did have ground-based Q-Ship troops for raiding, I could see their small (C$ 10 EP or less) atmospheric FTL combat boats being equipped with decent FTL systems to get in and out quick plus some Assault rating to allow them to transport small ground combat units into a system. I like the ove...

OK, both to provide some random thoughts for the group as a whole and to fish for suggestions (at least I'm honest ;)), let me ask for some more idle speculation. One of the species that are/will be in my particlar 'verse are modeled very much off of D&D "Orcs", at least as far as bein...

I liked it, It looks to be a bit faster than the spreadsheet I'm using, but it also doesn't look like it has ALL the special techs (but then again you did warn that this is a beta)

Overall I liked it.

Nomad Empires: This is something that I want to see happen and could almost carry its own mini-supplement, but will probably find its way into either Companion or the next catch-all rules product after that. At its core its an easy concept and a lot of the techs that I copied and pasted into the cu...

The discription of the "Expendable" type of weapon appears to be different from the other limited use technologies, like shields. For shields and simular tech the line is in effect once per senerio per factor you can do this, so you if the unit had a factor of 4 for example it could perfor...

There are two different values shown in the Treaties section as to when a power will consider asking a larger power a Protectorate Treaty vice an Alliance treaty. In the entry for the treaty in the section introducing treaties value of 4 times GDP is used while later on the value is given as 5 Also ...
