Star Fleet Battles (SFB)
created by Steve V Cole

Star Fleet Battles is a board game which recreates the ship to ship battles from the original Star Trek. SFB is a very mental game which requires intense concentration, if you intend to win. SFB is best when played as a 1 ship versus 1 ship "duel".

SFBCredentials Introduced to SFB in 1978 by Jeff Hess Earned Rated Ace card in 1997-1999 HR3 (Lyran TCC) My Victory at HR3 article describes my 5 round journey. Earned Rated Ace card at Origins 1990 (Lyran TCC), tied for 3rd place Defeated Fleet Admiral Tom Carroll (Tholian TCC) in quarterfinals Lost to Ron Spitzer (Andromedan TKrait) in marathon 13 turn semifinal battle Critical error: Forgot that Andro can only displace EVERY OTHER turn (instead of every turn) Should have put 2 ESGs, 4 OL Disruptors, and 6 Ph-1s through Andromedan front panels at range 2 or through Andromedan rear panels at range 3. Oh, well! Live and Learn. SFB Activities Attended GenCon '00. Captains 0-1 (Loss to Klingon) He countered every move I made & horrid Lyran die rolls. Patrol 0-1 (Loss to Shelly Christian, Orion TCA) No chance for Lyran against decent player. Only did 7 points of shield damage to him, despite hitting with Suicide Shuttle. Finals 1-1 (Really low on players, come to GenCon next year!) (Win vs Kzinti) Slowly ground him down. Opponent not an Ace. (Semi-Final Loss vs Kerry Mullan, Klingon) 5 hour battle from 10pm to 3am. I was too tired to think straight. He made the winning move on Turn 5. Great game! Stopped by Origins '00. Could not play due to National Guard commitment. Attended CapCon 2000, Overall record with Lyran TCC was 0-1 (12 turn, 5 hour loss to Finalist and Multiple Ace Scott Hickey Z-TCC) Great game! It just took so long that I didn't have time to play any more games Attended Origins '99, Overall record with Lyran TCC was 4-4 Fleet Captains 0-2 (Loss to Dave Conroy W-GBS) Killed an ESG with DF, used drones to outfirepower me (Loss to TBD O-TBR) He overran me several times with phasers at range 0 I missed with 2/3 OL disruptors on a down shield Patrol 0-1 (Loss to TBD TBD) Can't find my notes Saturday Patrol 4-1 (Win vs Dave Buehner K-D7TC, 3.01) I dished out more damage than he did (Win vs Shelly Christian J-TC, 5.32) Slugfest, he missed with MRGs as I closed in (Win vs Mark Mancuso L-TCC, 2.32) He struck first, then I mizia'd him (Loss vs Tim Linden J-TC, 4.12) He just wouldn't miss with MRGs! (Win vs Jeff Burnett K-D7TC, 3.25) Currently playing in 1 games, moderating 2 games, maintaining webpages for 4 games.
