John Lambert gives us some background on his new fleet of spaceships…<\/em><\/p>\n

Having enjoyed Gaslands, I was intrigued to learn that the Author, Mike Hutchinson\u2019s next venture was going to be a journey into space, entitled A Billion Suns<\/a>. I signed up to be a playtester and purchased some excellent American Republic<\/a> spaceships from Brigade Models<\/a>. Here\u2019s the result:<\/p>\n

What about the game?<\/p>\n

I\u2019d never been wowed by Space games that resembled a Naval game and this has many interesting ideas that I really like. Players act as CEOs whose game objective is to fulfil a contract. These are either Commercial or Military in nature and it looks like there will be 12 of each. Each player has an Admiral\u2019s Helm<\/strong> which the player uses to boost his ships capabilities for the turn (seize initiative, speed, firepower, defence shields) and a profit and loss tracker. There are no fleet lists, players have to judge what to buy to fulfil the contract but will only win if they are in profit at the end of the game. Deployment is by jump point. These are placed by the player and ships enter and leave the table via these jump points. It allows for playing between two tables, which sounds great for multi player games as fleets can jump onto a different table! Gravitational effects are governed by Ship size and Planetoid size. We hope to get another game in at the second meeting in April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
