In an attempt to raise the profile of CBF, and to allow a few more of the Auckland gamers to make it to a game, I ran a game at Redzeed Games on Wednesday night (their board games night).
6 players with a 1000 pts each, fleets were from the FCN and UACS factions in the core rule book, we left out faction bonus and fighters to allow a quicker game and because it was only the second game of CBF for some of the participants.
UACS forces
FCN Ships
Initial clash
Final fireball in the central asteroids
The UACS managed to thin out the heavier FCN escorts and then their battleships began to gain the upper hand over the FCN battlecruisers and when we finished the game (2 1/2 hours) the only outstanding question was whether the FCN could escape with it's survivors.
The scattered asteroid clusters had a large effect on the game with lone cruisers using them to hide from the big guns before launching hit and fade attacks and they made it much more tactical.
