VMS Versus AV

PDF

One of the questions I get is "Why do you track thrust, rather than simply assume that the displacement on the turn of thrust is equal to the change in velocity, like VMS and Full Thrust?"

The download above shows why this simplification isn't really much of a simplification, and why it results in gaping holes in the veracity of the simulation.

Courtesy of Charles Oines, this is a Lafayette armored cruiser with radiators extended after an engagement with a pair of Rafik class frigates. It's sized to make a good desktop background image.

Movement Cards

PDF

The Movement Cards (Ship Control Cards, to some of you) track a ship's heading, its velocity or vectors, and its movement and fire plotting.

To use these, print them double-sided, duplexing on the edge given at the top of the page. Then, laminate them. There’s no need to buy a home laminator: pick up a package of Avery self-adhesive laminating sheets (LS20P 73603). They're pretty easy to use, especially with a little practice. Just be careful about laying down the first side of the paper—avoid bubbles or wrinkles.

Reference Cards

The Reference Cards include the Range-Altitude Lookup Table (RALT), sequence of play with all errata updates, horizontal bearings illustration, pivot diagrams, a bevy of tables for quickly resolving large salvos, and more.

Complete Play Aids

We’ve got the Movement Cards (Ship Control Cards, to some of you), the Reference Cards (sequence of play, vector consolidations, aids for figuring bearings in both the horizontal and the vertical, and all the various combat tables and such), and the Salvo Cards (for tracking and resolving missile fire).

Movement Examples

Zipped PDF

The movement examples from the rule book. SITS 2.0 radically streamlines movement, eliminating the segmented movement of the first edition. (The first edition broke each turn into eight segments. If you've played Starfleet Battles or Car Wars, you’re familiar with this sort of "impulse movement.")

Sample Ships

al-Rafik Mk 1class FG(sp)

PDF

A spheroid frigate used by the Medinan Star Force with a full class history. This frigate is a high end frigate (arguably the best one in its price range) and is used for demos around the country, along with the Wasp in demos around the country. A single-sheet version (without the class history) is also available.

Wasp class FG(cy)

PDF

A cylindrical frigate used by the Olympian Defense Forces Space Arm for fleet fire support, this version has the full class history on the facing page. It's given as a duelling partner to theRafik class above. A single-sheet version (for easy printing) is also available.

Deluxe Ship Control Card Play Aids

PDF

The deluxe version of the Ship Control Cards for Attack Vector: Tactical. Completely updated from the version in the box, the Deluxe SCCs reflect the version 1.5 rules.

There are two play aids in this file, one green (with A on top) and one red (with D on top). Print them double-sided, laminate them, and then trim them. If you trim first, and carefully, you can generally put 4 of these sheets in an 11x17 pouch at Kinkos.

The front side has all the maneuver information, including a worksheet for the new orbital mechanics rules from Nexus Journal #1. The back side has an improved seeking weapon launch work sheet (with the correct procedure!), heat tracking, and damage control tracking.

Squadron Control Card Play Aids

Zipped PDF

Like the ship control cards printed above, there are two play aids in this zipped PDF file, one green, one red. These are full page play aids with 4 AVIDs on them, suitable for running a squadron of gunboats at a time (or a squadron of larger ships). They will need to be printed out on two sides of a sheet of paper and then laminated before use.

These play aids lack the "cheat sheets" on the ship control cards above - it's assumed you already know how to shoot a bearing and consolidate vectors if you're running 4 ships at once.

There are two copies of the thrust chart; when tracking multiple units thrusting on the same thrust chart, make your diagonal strokes go left and right to indicate which unit you're recording thrust for.

Movement, Weapon and Shellstar Pages

Zipped PDF

The movement card has the remainder grids for horizontal and vertical vector allocation, as well as the master sequence of play for the entire game.

The weapon card has all the weapons in the primary AV:T boxed game, including coilguns, laser tables and nuclear proximity and zone defense weaponry tables.

The Shellstar card has 6 shellstars for launching ballistic weapons. We recommend printing many of them, or printing a few and laminating them.

Last Updated On: Sat, 20 Dec 03

Range-Angle Lookup Table

PDF

This is a table of the Pythagorean Theorem for calculating ranges along the slant; it's also been color coded to indicate which AVID ring the target is visible through. Completely optional, it's for people who are more comfortable with table lookups than rules-of-thumb.
