Um... why didn't my line breaks work?

And how do you do bullet points?

And yeah, I will put up more pictures.

Line breaks need an extra carriage return to generate.

Use # for numbered bullets. Let me get back to you on regular bullets.

Asterisks for bullets.

Use more asterisks to "nest" the bullets.

Be careful when cutting and pasting a document into the editor. A lot of the weird stuff happens
when people do that.

Shame, word processors are so much easier to use as a starting point.

It's getting there. Now why is it so wide?

If you use the pre tags like in your summary, it displays exactly what is typed. So if
you want to use the pre tags you have to manually enter line breaks since the text won't
wordwrap.

I think I fixed it.

I don't understand the orbital decay part that doesn't really make much sense as written now. Could you possibly add some illistrations?

I have some images in the first draft of this (see the proposed rules forum) and will take some more this weekend.

Did you want to include those pics in the article?

Yeah, so I'll be knee deep in the tutorial tonight.

DONE! That wasn't too bad.

Comments?

I don't have time to read the full rules now, but it looks very interesting.

I concur, the pictures instantly make the article much more desirable for me to read. Of course, finding the time to actually sit down and read it is another matter. . .but when I do I'll be sure to let you know what I think.

Thanks, looking forward to it.

Clicking on the print tab gives the most readable version.

Just read it. It sounds pretty good, and I already have the Star Wars tiles and 2 Star Quest boards at home so I might try it out sometime.
I'm not so sure if it would work for every army and the small corridors don't seem to encourage walkers. 1500 points is probably too much if you think about how a footsloggin' Ork army would look. It might get crowded in there pretty fast.

I really dig the radar blips idea though.

Blowing the plasma reactor shouldn´t penalize the attacker, after all their objective usually is to take down the hulk. Perhaps make it mission related, recover/defend the hulk: -5 pts. Take down the heretic ship at all costs: +x pts

I just found the article thanks to your handy plug in the Space Hulk thread.

Good article.

I am definitely going to try this out but i agree with...

I'm thinking after its destruction any units either side (both attacker and defender) does not get off the table before the orbit decays will result in -1 victory point. I'll add in a hangar bay/escape pod room or something to facilitate it. This will symbolize abandoning the ship before its destruction.

This sounds fun! I look forward to trying it... but i do have a question: you said something about doors getting destroyed, are they armor 14 like the reactor? or is that just something the players deside? other wise good job
