[GZG] [FT] Genghis Con AAR's?

I know there was a crossover scheduled; how did it go?

Anything else run?

I wasn't there, maybe next year (kinda crept up on me this time)

Genghis in Denver went well.  Nobody lynched me after the game. ;-)
That's the GM's mark of success right?

We had eight players showup for the cross-over battle.  Half experienced
players, half new people.

We mixed Star Wars, Star Trek and B5. With the new fighter rules, sort of. I
screwed up and mixed in some old fighter rules by mistake but none of the
players noticed.

It got very busy for me as a first time GM but Scott Field got me through it
fine. Sadly, I was so busy I have no pictures of the
battle or the players.  :-(

General observations: Grazers are nasty weapons if they strike. Of the grazer
shots in the game,
between 1/3 to 1/2 hit.

I like fighter better under the newest playtest rules, even though I butched
them, than I did before.

Laminated fighter counters with boxes for fighter count are nice. I don't have
any fighters on stands so I made a counter with six boxes, a picture and
laminated it. Dead fighters were marked with an overhead marker. Worked great!

Mixing Star Trek and Star Wars led to some strange events. Tie fighters
attacking the Enterprise-D and going pop.  Tie fighters vs Starfuries
was an even matchup.

Since I have questions about the new fighter rules, I'm planning on running a
dummy game at home with the same situations I saw in the game and post it
to the lists for comments.  "Can I use a P-torp against fighters?"

Hopefully we'll have some of the players show up on the list and post an ARR.

Yes, though each P-torp hit only kills 1 fighter (that 1 fighter takes
1D6 damage which is enough to kill it very, very, *very* dead, but the excess
damage doesn't carry over to the other fighters in the group).

Ohhhhh. In the game I said "No" by mistake, but I would have thought a
p-torp
would kill 1D6 fighters.

The other question I had right away was using a beam-3 as anti-fighter.
By your p-torp example then a beam 3 would kill only 1 fighter no matter
what range it hit at?

Nope. Things that do beam-die damage are assumed to be spread fire, not
a single shot.

hits and rolls a 1 kill a heavy fighter?

Yes. This is explicitly addressed in the rules; they get a big bonus
against anti-fighter-mode fire, but they're no less vulnerable to
anti-ship-mode fire than anyone else.
