What you do next is take your combined dice pool and divide it up equally between each of your opponents bases (not battlegroups or squads, but the individual models). If you can't split it exactly then you decide which of your opponents bases receive the extra dice and they do the same in return. This means that you get a chance to put more damage onto the units you most want dead. The reason for splitting the dice up is so that each squad has a risk of taking damage based on its size. The more bases (people) in the squad, the more fire it draws.

Hey Ugleb, great rules clarifications, however I think this is slightly incorrect. I dont have the rule book in front of me, but you can reference this video from Hawk Dave about CQB: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4RkoUE6ojw At 2:50 he talks about how dice pools are split evenly via squads not bases. If an even split is not possible the controlling player chooses what squad to allocate the odd die. All of Dave's rule clarification videos are great and worth a watch.

I talked to Dave briefly today at gencon. Amongst all the cool new stuff that has already been mentioned he was also previewing a new DzC app for ios and Android coming out on in month or two. Has lists, unit stats, keyword lookup and the ability to pick up indexed, linked & searchable (non PDF) full versions of all the books at a discounted price from physical. The app also has a game finding feature where you can put in your location and how far you are willing to travel and get matched with hot singles in your area. Planned features not yet implemented include in game helper stuff for damage tracking and whatnot. Looked cool. Dave is a super nice guy, great enthusiasm. I got him to sign my book because I am a huge tool.

Nice conversions!

I just found a youtube interview with Hawk Dave from Gencon, goes into a fair bit of detail and kinda made me want to special edition book that I cant justify buying. The vid covers the new releases, the app and Dropfleet.

Ha! I was standing just to the left of these guys during this interview. I'm basically famous now.

Don't the frigs have low level on them? That is an exemption if I was reading the FAQ right.

I didn't see anything about the Theseus, is its linked weapons profile correct as printed then?

I also don't see any errata on the Leonidas, which is definitely wrong.

Was that the one that had its side listed wrong? I thought I saw a fix for the battle cruiser, guess i didn't check to make sure it was the right page though...

Ah, missed that, was scanning for the name of the ship, not the page number. That sucks then, it definitely seem like the Theseus and Leonidas should have the same broadside setup.

I still have my kickstarter bonus shaltari sprues (1 cruiser and 2 frigate sprues total) that I will never use. Anyone interested in a trade? Preferably for UCM, but I could do PHR or just money as well.

I just put in an order (from the US) but I'll cancel it and put in the batch order if you all want to team up. PM me or reply here if interested and how many of the web exclusive models you want.

All right, Arcturas and darnon are in for a US group order. Going to need one more person to break the free shipping barrier. Anyone else interested?

Out of curiosity what dollar amount is the free shipping barrier at?

One hundred Britland Pounds of Silver.

wdarkk posted:

I'd be down for one. How are we planning on handling this?

You tell me how many of the web exclusives you want, via PM or here. Sometime, probably tomorrow, I will put the order in (Provided that they are willing to cancel the previous order I put in earlier today.) When they finally get to me in mid-april or whatever, I will hit you all up for the cost+shipping from me at NYC 11238 and ship them to you directly. If they are fully resin and not hybrid like the BCs then it should be very inexpensive, sent in a padded envelope.

A Pic of the Saratoga!

Excellent, I'll put the order in this evening. Since you don't have PMs would you shoot me an email so I have your contact info: REDACTED?


EDIT:The order has been made, someone at Hawk must think I am obsessed with light cruisers.

There is a linked, narrative Dropfleet/zone game at Gencon this year. If anyone else is going, I am planning to play in the Friday 5PM game. I got tickets to both, for me and a buddy of mine. Probably going to roll UCM.

Fleet:

Zone:

There are a few other time slots as well, but you should all come play in that one!

I have that same FAT mat, bought it years ago before I heard about how lovely the company is. It is definitely not as blue as the one you got.
