Title: Vrtsion 1.0 rulebook
Post by: Charbe86 on March 12, 2017, 05:36:28 am
Does anyone have a pdf copy of the 1.0 rulebook they can make available, please?  I'm after the rules for tactics points.

The earliest PDF I can find is dated January 2013 and has a blue background to the ship on the cover. Is it any use?

No Idea, I never saw the 1.0 rulebook.  Someone on the spartan forums put me on to tactics points as a mechanism for ship experience in campaigns, and told me they were in the first edition rulebook.

Tactics Points, eh? Well, I have my 1.0 rules in front of me, so lets see...

Ah! I found it! To be honest, I had completely forgotten about this feature of the original rules; it's been a long time since I cracked the old 1.0 book  :o.

Anyway, here is the applicable page:

That is a great idea! Like I said, I had forgotten all about the tactics point mechanic. There is some adaption that would have to be done to fully align it with the 2.0 rules, but that shouldn't be too hard. If I ever get around to updating my FSA conversion of the BFG campaign system, I'll have to add these in!

That would be the much-derided 1.5 version:

The 1.0 Edition looked like this:
