I'd be tempted (if there was time for such luxuries!) to play out any boarding actions that occurred within a Space Fleet game using Space Hulk - would be interesting to have the Nids as the invaders for once in that game! <br /><br />I wonder if a sequence of games like this would work - dice off for initiative as the two fleets (I have Imperial and Tyranid in mind here) enter orbit around the target planet - winner picks an enemy ship to board a part of a commando raid prior to the initial fleet engagement. This would be played out using Space Hulk/Advanced Space Crusade. If the raiders win then the target ship is lost. The fleet engagement could then be fought using Space Fleet, with the winner of that battle gaining an advantage in terms of the position their invading troops are in when the hit planetside. An RT game could come next - if the Imperium won the fleet engagement, the RT game could be centred round taking the fight to the limited Tyranid landing zones that made it through to deny them a toehold on the planet. Should the Tyranids win the fleet engagement it could be a surgical strike against a key Imperial defence facility cut off from relief by the overwhelming numbers of Tyranids. Again victory would mean certain advantages in the Epic battle that could come next - choosing which table edge to set up on or having reinforcements in reserve.<br /><br />Sounds like a lot of fun I must admit!

Mind you that would mean me having to sell the other kidney to get an Epic Tyranid army. I do have a few minis for it as well as the Hive War rule book though, if not the army cards... Think you forgot Advanced Space Crusade as well.<br /><br />Must have missed those dice at Impact - cheapest I saw them was about £3.50 each and the cost of the twelve dice I wanted would have bought me at least one Tyranid ship! ;)<br /><br />Can't wait to see your take on the Tyranid ships - I kind of went with a mixture of random tie dye patterns and colour schemes pinched from various exotic sea life but there'll be a post with more detail on that in the next week or so.Thantsantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902730729032525538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341832496341749426.post-57455939179093140442016-08-20T02:14:19.018-07:002016-08-20T02:14:19.018-07:00I'm genuinely amazed to see this one played, I...I'm genuinely amazed to see this one played, I have such a fondness for it and I'm so glad some great folks as you guys could play it ! I think I bought my dice from Impact ! and don't think they were that expensive (given how rare they are).<br />Anyway, this has greatly motivated me into painting my first fleet of Tyrannid.<br />With your Epic armies, this could mean... oh well I shouln't be thinking of a campaign mixing Epic, Space fleet, space hulk and RT...Asslessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475252828835332056noreply@blogger.com
