Song of stars and void - playtest

Recently, I was lucky to become one of the players Andrea from Ganesha Games sent for playtesting a copy of his new space combat rules called Song of Stars and Void.

I played one game solo, playing both sides, just to get in touch with the rules, before I find a playtesting buddy for this new toy :)

I played a 450 points game, with pregenerated ships, Commonwealth against the Shaggeroths, 2 escorts and 1 Capital ship per side.

Shagaroth Cruiser Achievement got his indirect fire weapons jammed in very first turn...

Some starting manouvering

Commonwealth Cruiser CF Vanguard fires some missiles at Achievement

but Achievement uses manouver around asterid field to get rid of them...

 

Later in the game, heavily damaged Frigate CF Ettrick leaves the battlefield. CF Vanguard, gets the lucky shot from behind at Cooperation Destroyer, blowing it out of the skies...

The game runs very smooth, but it needs some learning curve, befopre a player will be able to use the ships to the best of their posibilities...

I had so many wrong tactical  decisions on both sides this time arround, that I decided to quit the game here, and start tomorrow from beginning....
