Star Trek Free Print&Play

For the battle it was the Federation (2 Miranda class Destroyers and 1 Excelsior class Heavy Cruiser) against the Romulans (4 D7 class Heavy Cruisers).

I was testing some new mechanics. The cloak ambush and the new Romulan cloaking mechanic. See previous post for the information on these two ideas.

The Romulans did not deploy as normal, because they were setting up an ambush.

Turn one the Federation ships activated and moved.

Turn two the Romulans deployed, two on each flank, and started their attack run critically damaging one of the Mirandas. The damaged Miranda survived by transferring power to the downed shield, but was then destroyed on turn 4. On turn five the Excelsior managed to destroy on Romulan D7.

The game ended on turn six with no other losses resulting in a Federation win, 42 to 37.

Update

I will be scrapping the idea of the Romulan ship being replaced with Ping Tokens when they cloak but keeping the Ambush idea, which I like.

I think that I will reluctantly change the system from a D6 to a D10. The only reason I was using D6 is because it is a die that most people have. Unfortunately I feel that the D6 is restricting the game, and the D10 will allow more room. For example it will make the cloaking system easier, hitting cloaked Rolmulans on a 10 and cloaked Klingons on a 8. Transferring power to systems (Sensors, ECM etc) will be more advantageous.

That being said it will take me a while to update the rules and ship information. I am also reworking the ship dashboards to make it easier for me to update, so maybe I will be done in a month or so. The core of the game will not change, just the details.

Any suggestions is much appreciated.
