John had already clarified that only unactivated ships could be used for a SO and that similarly 2 failures on a SO would be regarded as a turnover but using to basically overcome a turnover caused by the flagship's activation roll does seem to be against the spirit of the rules - not that it stopped me playing it that way!!kingsleyparkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17161045327971275146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783118874383089969.post-55338849711185977632012-03-18T14:17:21.267+00:002012-03-18T14:17:21.267+00:00Great batrep, love the warp drive pic!!!Great batrep, love the warp drive pic!!!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783118874383089969.post-15328308303095332172012-03-18T06:56:27.859+00:002012-03-18T06:56:27.859+00:00Nice write-up.

I haven't dared tried characters yet, and also avoided too many errors by using my own designs with as few different specials as possible.<br /><br />Well done on picking up on some good questions - the squadron order failure hadn't occurred to me, and I've been through the rules like only someone who used to pedantically review and test computer code can ;)Kaptain Koboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082772546044655044noreply@blogger.com
