I’m new to all things 2hour war games but am fully intrigued with the solo mechanics in Nuts!
quite busy with WW2 at the moment but am interested how the system plays out in other genres..
I searched but really couldn’t find any comprehensive information on Space Combat and was wondering if there was a detailed aar walkthrough or review on the subject?
Edit : just recalled I have Star Wars Armada laying around.. Wondering if I could implement this rules set somehow?

Idk Ed.. I'm still researching your products.. I've ran into your comparison which was very helpful.. looking for a few AARs.. Really like to find a video or two on the subject but struck out so far. Ironically this map I did for another project and it's the opposite side of my Nuts ww2 board! Lol  |

They are called 5150 Fighter Command, a squadron level game system that goes a level of detail past Star Navy. It was written with Wing Commander in mind, so the flavor of the game is like X-Wing or BSG type games, etc. sbminisguy.wordpress.com/2014/07/09/guess-whos-coming-for-dinner-a-5150-fighter-command-aar/ |

Looks great! Funny I wonder why a pdf version wouldn’t be available?

It may be that they are switching over to Rebel Minis although I don't think Rebel has any spaceship figures. Maybe contact Ed to see if he can sell you a PDF.

I understand fighter command comes with a few missions and I suppose similar to nuts & ability build a campaign.
I was curious if there were other prefabricated missions similar to the one above Look Who's Coming to Dinner?

In my blog you can read some of those missions and not only "guess who's coming to dinner?" You can check it out at: linkCheers, Javier

There's also a supplement called "Carrier Command" which is focused on being a Carrier captain and managing your space assets to complete a campaign. It has expanded rules for electronic warfare, boarding, etc. |
