Mark has been developing a Card component to the game. In the original version of the game,when damage is taken the player must roll for each internal hit. This brings the game to a screeching halt. With Marks custom cards the damage process can be accelerated and game play resumed much quicker. He has also incorporated die rolls on the card faces so the game can conceivably be played without dice. The only negative to using the cards in place of dice is you would have to reshuffle after each player uses the deck to insure the odds remain the same.

Bret, Dave and Mark, play tested with the new cards and reoriented ourselves to the classic, simplified rules. The Scenario:Planet Killer taken form the original Series Doomsday Machine played well. Do to time constraints we didn’t get a chance to use the cards for damage. Further testing will take place in the near future.

Initial publication of the games in the Star Fleet Battles series. This was one of the first Task Force Games Pocket Games. It was re-implemented and expanded several times after the original “Pocket Game.”

This is the classic game of tactical Starship combat set in the Star Trek universe (the original TV show), though you will never see “Star Trek” anywhere in the game (licensing limitation). Players command one or more ships from the Federation, Klingon, Gorn, Romulan, or Kzinti fleets, sporting all of the expected Star Trek weaponry like phasers, disruptor bolts, photon and plasma torpedoes, and tractor beams. Also includes other weaponry not commonly seen such as drones (homing missiles).

Players allocate energy and plot movement before each turn, then move all of the ships simultaneously. Weapons are fired at will during the turn (i.e., not plotted before-hand like movement). Ships have shields and armor for protection. When these are breached, various ship systems are damaged, potentially crippling the combat capability of the ship, and eventually resulting in ship destruction.
