12 © 2015 GMT Games, LLC or more damage from one source to be instantly destroyed. Instead, the Missile is flipped to its damaged side. If this Missile hit Defiant, the ship would still take two damage. However, Defiant still has one more Phaser left to fire in the right weapon group. This time she only rolls a 1, dealing 1 damage to the Missile. This destroys the Missile! If a damaged Missile takes any amount of damage it is destroyed. 13.7 Select New Missile Target Any ship with a Missile launcher may spend 1 AP to select a new target for any one Missile. The new target must be an enemy ship within the Firing Arc and range of the redirecting ship’s Missile launcher. The Missile receiving the new target need not be in the Firing Arc of the redirecting ship. When this occurs, note the missile counter number, write it on the new ship, and erase the number from the old ship. Immediate Detonation: If the new missile target is already in the same hex as the missile, the missile immediately hits the new target during this part of the Impulse. Resolve the damage as above. The Shield Arc hit is determined by rolling one die for each Shield Arc. The highest result is the side that takes damage. In the event of a tie, reroll among the tied Shield Arcs. 14. BASES Characteristics: Bases are treated like ships in all respects except they cannot move. Their Power Curve does not include a Turn Radius.
represents the Speed of their rotation. Rather than moving when their Speed number appears in the Impulse Chart, the Base must rotate 1 hex side clockwise, at that time. Like ships, the Speed for a Base may only be adjusted up or down by 1 during the Power Phase. A Base’s AP is not impacted by the Speed of a Base. EXAMPLE: A Base with a Speed of 1 will rotate clockwise only once per Round (on Impulse F). A Base with a Speed of 2 will rotate on Impulses C and F, etc. No Collision Damage: If a Base and a friendly ship occupy the same hex no damage is dealt. Bases do not have FTL or NFTL drives so there is no possibility for interference.
other ships, as if they were terrain. 15. THE BIG GUNS 15.1 Wave Motion Gun The Wave Motion Gun is the most powerful weapon ever developed by the Terrans. Based on NFTL technology, the blast contains so much energy that a subspace pocket forms behind the target, like a shadow of the vessel’s mass. This pocket pulls the target ship towards it, effectively knocking it back. (15.1.1) Procedure: The Wave Motion Gun has a range of 4 hexes. To determine if it hits the target, consult the Wave Motion Gun table and roll one die. A hit Displaces (15.1.2) the target ship and causes 10 damage points. (15.1.2) Displace Effect: On a hit, a straight edge is placed from the center of the firing hex through and beyond the center of the target hex. The target ship is displaced one hex away from the firing ship along the straight edge, without changing facing. If the straight edge is exactly along a hex-spine the firing ship may choose a hex on either side of the hex spine. • If the target ship has a Turn Radius marker, it is shifted along with the target ship such that it remains the same distance in front of the ship. • If playing with Same Faction Combat and a Fighter is hit by this weapon, the entire Fighter squadron is knocked back.
shift. Any movement related effects are resolved first, such as taking damage for entering a hex with another friendly ship or asteroid (see Collisions [7.4], Ship Destruction [8.6] and Terrain [17.0]). This may mean the target ship could enter a hex with a friendly ship, take damage from the collision, damage the friendly ship, then blow up due to the Wave Motion Gun damage, further damaging the friendly ship. Any ships that exploded might also cause explosion damage to other ships. Chain reactions of explosions are possible.
13 © 2015 GMT Games, LLC but first the knock-back effect is applied. A straight edge placed from the center of the firing ship’s hex through the center of the target ship’s hex aligns with the hex spine so the firing ship may choose to shift Justice back to either hex. Justice had a Turn marker that was 2 hexes away. It remains 2 hexes away after the shift. Once the shift is complete, the damage is resolved. 15.2 Fusion Cannon The Fusion Cannon is composed of multiple, highly destructive beams that scatter to damage many ships over a large area. (15.2.1) The Fusion Cannon fires in a cone, hitting all targets within its Firing Arc and range. The die is only rolled once and that number is used for all firing as per the Player Aid Card. The damage dealt depends on the range of the hex and number rolled. (15.2.2) Resolving Fusion Cannon Damage: • Damage is applied to all ships in each hex of the firing cone, including friendly ships. • While the Fusion Cannon may, inadvertently, damage friendly ships, an enemy ship must be targeted in order to fire the weapon. No weapon may intentionally fire on friendly ships. • Which ships resolve their damage first is up to the ship owner. If both sides have ships that are being hit by the Fusion Cannon the firing player resolves his ships’ damage first. • Terran Fighter groups are too small and agile to be damaged by the Fusion Cannon and ignore all damage that would be caused by it.
EXAMPLE: The Talon BB Eviscerator fires the Fusion Cannon. It hits every ship within the shaded area which represents the Fusion Cannon’s Firing Arc and range of 3. If a 4 was rolled: the Terran CA would take 6 damage on her left Shield Arc, the Talon CA would take 2 damage on her forward Shield Arc and the Terran FTR squadron would take NO damage. Missiles 14 and 15 each take 2 damage and would be flipped over to their damaged sides. Missiles 10 and 11 are not caught in the Fusion Cannon’s fire, but if CA Justice exploded, one of the two missiles would take 3 explosion damage. If the CA Guderian exploded, CA Justice would take 3 explosion damage but only one of the 3 FTRs in Flying Tiger Squadron would take Guderian’s explosion damage. 16. DOCKING AND LANDING 16.1 Purpose Docking usually involves either CVs or Bases and is only allowed when required to fulfill a scenario objective or to allow Fighters to retreat from battle aboard CVs. Unless specified by a scenario rule, these units are removed from the battle and may not re-enter space. Planets may be landed on using these rules as well, but this is only permitted by scenario rule.
To dock, the player declares during the movement phase that this ship will be docking. They then may move the ship into the same hex as the Base or Planet and remove the ship from the game. • Docking never causes collision damage. • A Transport may not dock with a Base or land on a planet unless it is moving at Speed 1. • FTRs may dock with a Carrier or Base while moving at any Speed. They are skilled enough to land “hot”. • FTRs may not undock from a CV or Base except by scenario rule. 16.3 Fighter Squadron Retreats • Fighter squadrons normally dock with friendly Carriers to retreat from battle (Transports may not, they are too large). • When a FTR docks, it is then set aside. If the CV is able to jump to FTL, that CV and any docked FTRs are considered to have retreated. • If a CV containing docked FTRs is destroyed, all FTRs on board are also considered to be destroyed. 17. TERRAIN 17.1 Introduction • Terrain includes Planets, Asteroids and Nebulae. They are printed onto the backs of most ship counters. • If Terrain is being used, select the appropriate Asteroid or Nebula counter, checking to make sure that the ship on the reverse side is not being used in this scenario. • Terrain does not move during the course of a battle but, when the “floating” map needs to be shifted, Terrain counters are also shifted, just like ships. • See the Design Your Own Scenarios section (27.0) for how to select and place Terrain for custom games. • Ships destroyed by terrain count for the purpose of calculating degree of victory.
ing Transport that moves into the same hex as a planet is destroyed; any adjacent ships take explosion damage as normal. Planets have the following characteristics:
