Battlestations
A mixed boardgame and role-playing game which integrates character actions with spaceship actions. Players track their characters' positions on the spaceship layouts (also used for boarding actions) and the ships' positions on the hex map. If you want the ship to turn or speed up¸ a character has to take an action to make it so. If you want the ship's guns to fire at an enemy ship¸ a character has to take an action to fire the guns. Character creation uses six species and four professions (Pilot¸ Marine¸ Scientist¸ and Engineer). - A description fromdarkshire.netwith kind permission of John H. Kim
