Federation Lays Smack Down on Cardassians

Just finished my first simulation in the Icon rules.

I discovered that against the Cardassians, the Federation has a huge advantage. The Photon Torpedo. It's range is huge, and the Cardassians only have beam weapons so that they are limited to a range of 300k.

The Federation also have Impulse speed as an advantage. They go faster than the Cardassians and can stay out of their weapons range.

The Cardassians need numbers to take on the Federation.

Of course, the simulation was a Galaxy Class vs. a Galor, so it may not have been very fair.

Damn nice rules again.

Battle didn't even take that long.

I am having a hard time seeing why CODA is better than ICON. I can say that CODA is flexible sure, but ICON gives you a real feel of Star Trek. CODA feels more like 3.5e (stole that from LUG, thanks man.).

Anyway, my thanks again to all those ICON people who told me to try this system out.

I'm liking it!

Consider that the real weapon of the Cardassians is their espionage network. They can win battles without a shot fired. Sabotage, knowing where to be at the right time, or where not to be.
