Federation & Empire: Fighter Operations

Digital

A reprint of Carrier Wars, this module adds new carriers from Starfleet Battles and clarifies some rules from the original module.

Right on the verge of being too much of a good thing. While the fighter tokens are nice to have for big battles and the extra stacks of escorts are good, the endless versions of carriers that are now available to each race is overkill. Also, this version came out prior to the 2010 version of the rules, so you need to flip back and forth to get things straight.

The expanded version of the old Carrier War expansion, the main purpose of this is to provide what the main set doesn't have room for: separate carrier and escort counters. This leads to some more bookkeeping, but also eliminates the clunkiness of having to track when a part of a carrier group gets damaged.

Grand strategy in the Star Fleet Battles Universe. A large, very duanting game to play. Many expansions means many rules means many counters means almost TOO much to play.
