Would people be interested in Babylon 5 Wars next weekend? Either actual B5 ships, or Star Trek?

Is there a PBY Catalina equivalent? (if so, is there a "night Ops" variant?

(just asking)

I'd say the closest you'll get in B5 to a Catalina would be an armed shuttle, or maybe a long-range fighter like Earth's Badger. (Think a Starfury with a tail gunner that can also carry missiles.) In Star Trek, I'd probably say a Runabout, which B5wars treats as a super heavy fighter.

But the black cat came back the very next turn,
The black cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the black cat came back; it just couldn't be blown away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea

"Rich Berg once responded to gamers comments about one of his games, "I make this ****** up, so can you.""

"Back in MY day we played Battletech with figures made of LEAD! POISONED LEAD! And the only PAINT we had was RADIOACTIVE! Why, we lost at least THREE or FOUR dear friends every YEAR to BATTLETECH POISONING! But we didn't know any better, and we LIKED IT!
And we rolled DICE for HOURS to play our games! There was none of this plastic clicky nonsense! Our DICE were radioactive TOO! And we had to roll them for hours and hours and hours to track EVERY SINGLE MISSILE! Why, my some of my friends are STILL rolling dice for their last turn when I left Norman THREE YEARS ago! And I don't plan to move back for at least five years and it STILL won't be my turn! But we didn't know any better, and we LIKED IT.

...I'm going to guess that you guys played Angels High last weekend...

I've got what i think is a good into game for B5Wars set up for this Sunday. Earth vs Centauri, with one or two ships per person. As for how the two factions fight, imagine a stealth-armored King Crab fighting against a stock Mad Cat, and that should give you some idea of what to expect.

Do people want me to bring some Star Trek ships as well, in case things go quickly and they want to try those out?

A&A War at Sea with lots of planes....

Having a variety of ships is always a good thing.

:snort:. I'll believe that when I see it.

As for this weekend yeah bring some Trek ships just in case. I'm looking forward to trying the system.

Speaking of Fed fighters and Runabouts, the two ships are the same size. A Fed fighter is about three times as long as a TNG era shuttle. I think both count as heavy fighters by other universes standards. Really more of a tiny spacecraft than fighter.

Whistler is not only a noted winner, he's a man's man, a generous philanthropist, a noted big game hunter, and a lover and a dancer. If he had a mustache it would be impeccably waxed. When he marches off to war, everyone else stays home.

Like you wouldn't believe.  I had no return flight or hotel room and no money.  Luckily things worked out.  I can bring my fleets this Sunday.  After the week I'm having I could kill things.

So if everyone is there, my guess is War at Sea.  Gaming is the only thing on my calendar for this weekend.
