Osprey Games – A Billion Suns – part two
We looked at the background and core gameplay elements of A Billion Suns in part one and, based on those things alone, we heartily recommended this new space combat game from Osprey. Now, in Part Two, we get to look at some of the more advanced rules in further detail. The text below is a transcript of the video, for those who prefer to read rather than watch. To start things off we will pick up at page 28 of this 64-page softback book. That’s where the use of each players’ Helm is covered in detail, something we touched on in the first video. If you’ve not watched that one yet, you should go do so! All caught up? Ok then! The Helm is the place where CEOs (that’s you, the players) put command tokens on different sections to use in the game’s phases. Initiative and Jumping In CMD tokens provide an edge in those areas but it’s with the Tactical CMD tokens that the in-game ship specific movement and combat adventures can be modified. This is done through diverting power to specific areas. If you put power to Engines then move distance is doubled, power to Inertial Dampeners will allow a battlegroup to fire its primary weapons even if it performed a High-G Manoeuvre, power to Weapons Systems will add a minus to your to hit rolls (which is good, lows are what you want in the game). Here you can spend multiple CMD Tokens up to your battlegroup’s Mass value, so you can potentially make the to-hit roll an almost foregone conclusion. Power to Shields is the same mechanic but each token will boost the shields by one. Additionally, you can choose to just apply an Override, simply allowing you to re-roll any single dice. What all of
