Federation Commander: Academy

Owned for years without playing.

Get rid of.

Not a bad intro for the price - 4 ships in package (no box) if you're not sure about the system this could be a way to go.

I thought it might be what SFB promised to be but wasn't.

It's the same with slightly prettier ship cards.

If you got just this, I'd be a bit irritated - yeah, I get the cheap intro thing, but the free intro is about the same... So you get two more ships, a few more rules, and a board... I'd probably prefer the border boxes.

Fortunately, I foresaw this and got Graduation too meaning I effectively have the two border boxes (alas, poor stocking in the UK forced this rout).
