v1.0: 17·Nov·2006
Original version distributed at PHILCon'06.
v1.1: 21·Nov·2006
Incremental patch that cleans up a number
of typos, makes some clarifications in the text,
generally makes it a little easier to read, and adds two important rules,
one a limit on the number of maneuver failures in a row; the other a
reduction in effectiveness for certain Pt. Def. batteries in exchange for
taking no damage form interdiction results v. the attacker, i.e. the Pt.
Def. Battery itself.
A Maneuver Failure limit - see the Maneuver rules; also new Maneuvering
markers have been added to facilitate this
Reduction of interdiction effectiveness of point defense batteries of
non-target ships in a squadron. In exchange for this reduced effectiveness,
such batteries do NOT take damage when interdicting MSL, LAC, ESC or BRD
Strikes; only the TARGET ship's PT. DEF. batteries take damage when
interdicting. See the Strike Procedures By Type for MSL, LAC, ESC and BRD
Strikes.
There was a misprint on the Dralance: it only has a LAC Capacity of 5 so
the number of onboard LAC points should be 5, not 10 (the "o" value in the
LAC section of the log). The blank ship logs have been corrected.
All scenarios have been re-edited for typos, all the Dralance logs have
been corrected, and the missile loads have been reduced if a scenario calls
for it on the Tables of Organization.
The PT. DEF. OUT markers have had the correct subtext of "Remove in
Logistics Phase" placed on them.
The hi-res art for Lock-On and Sensor Ghost markers has been correctly
linked.
The Damage tables have been corrected: on the M row for the LAC Damage
table and the ESC damage an old version of the table was left in, which
left OUT the Scattered results.
Scenario S2 Raid on Corvus Cluster: the Special Rule was left out. The
ship crew roll for the first Procyonese element attempting entry from
tachspace is automatically successful ( they still have to make the safety
roll). The Procyonese player may choose which element is first).
There seems to have been a festival of mislinked files to old art: the
Dralance, Orton and Reaper class ships all had the old terminology for
missiles (which was ASM = Anti-ship missile). Only a cosmetic change, the
actual values and display on the ship logs is identical, but the correction
answers the "What is an ASM?" question I got at Philcon. :-)
Part of the festival of mislinked art was the MOVE TILES. For the record
the altitude lines are supposed to be 3/4" from each edge all the way
around. The old set had them correct in one direction and an inch deep in
the other. They still work (within 1/4" accuracy of course) but its better
to have the correct ones! :-D
And lastly, the PT. DF. OUT markers had the old (and misspelled!) version
linked. They have been corrected.
