Alien Dave which of the scales are you buying -- does it matter? I've bought the Mongoose scale ones (Starline 2500). They're larger than the ADB ones (Starline 2400) with a lot more detail apparently. Having seen a few of both, it's probably because the ADB ones are from molds that are 30 years old... Also, the original Mongoose ones had some in resin, which had poor quality control. ADB seem to have got that sorted judging from comments on the forums/FB group.

Just joined the Facebook group for SF:ACTA. some kind peeps have uploaded a few helpful files (firing arc templates, quick reference sheets, etc.). Also the game designers from ADB are fairly active on there with upcoming news and rules queries, so may be worth joining if you're at all wedded to social media. DW

rules read
looks like it is going to be a quick game. Move, Shoot, put dead ships back in box.
Best tactic seems to be, move within 4" of enemy then when they shoot you - you explode and blow them up

Luddites! Do I have to drag you kicking and screaming into the 20th century? I bet you're the sort of people who have 'real' friends and talk to them 'in the same room'. Yuk! Herein (I love that word. It's my word of the week) are the requested files. DW

and the Tholians are up on Wargamevault too. These are free also, as there's not a lot of Tholian action until book 2 of the rules.

Got it for completeness (at £2.00 I can't complain) but it appears to be mostly the civilian transports in the other packs plus a few others.

I know.
Still getting over the fact that Romulians are break away Vulcuns who fly Klingon ships.

Or anything else yet for that matter. Apparently they've changed the software they use to put these books together with so most books will be getting minor formatting tweaks soon.

When mongoose were doing space battles stuff I rummaged through a bits box on their stall and filled a carrier bag with crap. Amongst it was a lot of smaller sized ships (about an inch long) which I intended using for detailing on scifi buildings, antennas, arrays, crystals, that sort of thing. None of the look like star fleet stuff. One looks a lot like an old necron gothic ship but dpes any of that sound like it would fit with your star fleet stuff?

Sounds like either their Noble Armada stuff or maybe some B5? Doesn't really fit in with the whole Star Fleet Battles fluff...

The free rules are being withdrawn from Wargamevault.com on 30 April. If you're dithering about getting them, now's the time...
