Advanced Heavy Combat: Enterprise Era

 

 

I'm still getting used to the 3D combat, but I think the idea works. It involves more record-keeping, though still much less than 2D Starfleet Battles tabletop gaming, but not too much. Methodical work carries the day. I thought that it made for a more realistic experience, and I could more easily visualize the action. It typically shorter and more cut-throat. Tactics will be more important, especially for ships like the Klingons that can't fire every turn. Here are the results/archives of advanced heavy combat between the Klingon D5 and the Challenger NX-07:
