Subject: Jovian Chronicles and B5 Wars Minis:
Hello All: I wanted to get this out sooner, but since I've been working at
both of my jobs the last few days, I just now have access to my computer.
Well, last Tuesday night was a hum-dinger for me. After weeks
of waiting, my game store finnally got a hold of some B5W minis.
YEAH!!!! They are just as detailed as everyone says they are. I
picked up a couple of packs of Starfuries for my upcoming EA fleet (for use in
both B5W and FT). They also got the Jovian Chronicles in as well. I've been
waiting for this as well. The rules look very cool, and the Vector thrust
system they use bears a striking resemblence to the rules in the freeware game
"LNL." The exos and the starships are also really nice and I'm glad to hear
that they will be producing minis of the ships. I especially liked the JSS
Valient (which BTW looks kind of like an Omega Class Destroyer.). However, my
main problem with the game is that the ships are sooo big that you have to
handle each section of the ship as a seperate target with it's own stats. That
tends to make the record keeping a little large. I also played a game of
Flintloque... got my Orc arse kicked. Choosen Man Purkins got his blummin head
shot off with a Dark Elf cannon
nick-named "Carmilita."
