Deep Space Mat Customer Comments:
Awesome Felt Battle Mats For Star Wars Starship Battles
"I picked up the big 6x4 mat (Deep Space mat with 2 inch squares) and we played a couple of games
with it last night... great mat, better than the folded one....but
too big to play without range limitations. So, we came up with
a couple of quick house rules:
1) The range of the ship is the inverse base size squared. Yes, we are geeks. In short: Class 1 has a 16 square range,
Class 2 has a 9 square range, Class 3 has a 4 square range, and Class 4 is just like the rules. That also applies to
targeting. A Class 2 can target and be targeted by a Class 1 only in 9 squares. And so forth. This rule worked very,
very well and make Class 3s playable.
2) Fighter launch. You can only launch fighters once a ship enters
your zone of fire. So, while a Class 1 cannot target a Class 2
at 15 squares, it can respond by launching 3 fighters at that
point. This also worked well, and kept us from launching all our
fighters immediately.
Outside of that, rules as normal, and great fun. The 6x4 actually lets the possibility of broadside attacks make sense, and
facing become much more of an issue when ships span the whole 4' side. You can easily travel in a straight line and find
yourself in a side arc of something nasty.
I HIGHLY recommend these mats."
