HELP!

[Tacitus]

can anyone tell me the size of the squares on the battlefleet Gothic boards...

[OvertheHill]

In Parsecs or LIght Years..?

(Sorry, I can't help, but I think they are either an inch or 25mm, I may be wrong. Isn't BFG one of the games that is on PDF in GW's site? If so, can you not look there...?)

[Tacitus]

not on the pdfs, i think they are bigger.....but i need to know for certain,,,,surely someone has a set somewhere....

[MalZeth]

i don't think it uses squares?

you measure in cm, and have turn angles and such.. or so i bellive

[Elazar The Glorified]

As Clive said. Measurements are in cms and then you have your turning angles etc.

[Rogue Trooper]

I once had a copy of this, I've read the rules, painted the ships but never played it. The game uses centimeters and there are templates for turning, it would not be practical to play on a squared board in the same way as 40k or fantasy would not be able to be played in this way.

I mean the original set with the boards in...9 boards with a 3x3 grid on them....anybody??

[baldyorc]

Didn't have a board. You must be confused with something else

[Tacitus]

first edition battlefleet gothic, came with 3 plastic eldar and 3 plastic imperial cruisers, and i think it was 9 cardboard playing boards each with 9 squares on. somebody out there MUST remember...or am i going totally mad???

[Tacitus]

maybe i am...im on about the forunner of battlefleet gothic, spacefleet. ring any bells anyone??? please?

[OvertheHill]

That was , I think, Space Fleet.

Edit: I see you've realised .

[Tacitus]

too many games...too many rule sets.....too much data stored....not enough data retrieval capacity....maybe i should just go and lie down and reboot.....

[rastlin]

do you mean

as opposed to

[Tacitus]

Dats der bunny....how big were the squares on the boards?

[rastlin]

well i got the pics from http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Space_Fleet_(game)

thier page actually states it as being a short lived game

neither that or its wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Fleet offered any info on the size of the squares i'm afraid. i think you'll have to dig around for the actual game, or the very old white dwarves that had the rules in.

[Tacitus]

yes it ws short lived, cos GW decided to "improove it" and killed it dead, but not before i devised a campaign based on the original game....which i still have...the campaign not the game....somebody out there must still have a copy.....

[baldyorc]

i have asked for imfo on a couple of forums. we may get answers that way

[Tacitus]

thanks, ive actually seen the boards on wikipedia, but i need to know the sizes before i order my game mat....

The sqaires were about 50mm cos you could never get the ships to sit close right when they were in squares next to each other.

It was a rubbish game.

Battle fleet Gothic on the other hand was a great game
