Talk:Federation Commander

Untitled

The issue of Federation Commander's relative complexity in comparison to SFB has been addressed in the opening paragraphs, as it states:

Unlike its sister publication, Star Fleet Battles, Federation Commander is not intended to be a very in-depth simulation of space combat in the 22-23rd centuries. Rather, it is aimed at providing a balance between tactical nuance and ease of playability, one which makes the game more accessible for newer gamers, or those with limited time constraints, than Star Fleet Battles.

Should the issue regarding SFB's alienation from prospective gamers be addressed in the SFB article itself?

Good game pages talk a lot about the mechanics, history and consumer reaction to the game. (See Advanced Squad Leader for my idea of a nicely done page.) So, yes, as long as it is NPOV, verifiable, and the rest of it. Rindis 19:22, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Notability template removed

This page was marked with the Notability: Books template. I have removed the template for two reasons. First, the subject is not a book buy a game system and therefore would not have certain requirements under the book heading like an ISBN number. Second, the subject is the flagship title for a game company that has been in the business for almost 30 years. It is sold in stores across the country, and played by many. There is even an online service to play that game that sees regular traffic. All of this is mentioned in the article and should speak for itself.

Notability template restored

I've just been through the references on this article and they're mostly primary sources. There is the ref to the Tabletop Game News review of one particular scenario however it is not even used in the subsection about that scenario and is certainly insufficient to support a notability assertion for the entire article. The Further Information section is entirely comprised of links to primary sources. This whole thing reads like a synthesis of press releases. I will maintain the notability tag until the concern is adequately addressed. Cheers, Jack Merridew 12:45, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Error on page

Klingon Attack is not a direct expansion for Klingon border. Klingon border contains all of the content in Klingon Attack. The packaging for Klingon Attack actually warns potential buyers not to purchase it if they already own Klingon Border. Klingon Attack is meant to be an expansion to Romulan Border in order to supplement that starter set with the Klingon content.

Likewise, Romulan Attack is not an expansion of Romulan Border. It is intended to supplement Klingon Border. 192.69.180.159 (talk) 23:07, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
