Turn Sequence and How to Play Cyberboard Files Updated
I have updated the "How to Play Cyberboard File" and the "BFG Turn Sequence" and will soon revamp Battlefleet Gothic Gamebox v2 to include better rulers, pop up messages for heavy gunz/ bombardment cannon hit markers, and an updated version of the turn sequence.
The BFG Turn Sequence is now:
1. DAMAGE CONTROL. – Chance to Brace for Impact (Same bonuses and negatives and LD modifiers) and to resolve hits taken during opponents shooting and ordinance phases (Remember to roll for criticals). If bracing was successful then they will be on Brace the entire turn.
2. CARRY OVER EVENTS – Complete Enemies Boarding Actions (since the fate of some ships could not be determined), Teleport Attacks, and Critical Damage Repair (since you would have had a chance during your opponents end phase). In this order always.
· Boarding and Teleports attacks.
· Critical Damage Repair.
3. MOVE/RESOLVE OLD ORDINANCE – Move preexisting ordinance owned by player.
4. MOVEMENT – Special Orders First, Move and Resolve any Ordinance Attacks.
5. SHOOTING – Only Shoot Weapons Batteries and Lances. Place “Hits Taken During Turn” markers on hit ships. Do not resolve critical or catastrophic damage here (your opponent completes this during DAMAGE CONTROL).
6. MOVE/RESOLVE NEW ORDINANCE – Conduct new ordinance movement and attacks.
7. END PHASE – Critical Damage Repair (normal chance to do so) and Blast Marker Removal.

Turn Sequence out of Sequence
The turn sequence for Battlefleet Gothic on cyberboard is being fine tuned please don't download it quite yet... I will post another message when it is complete.
Battlefleet Gothic For Cyberboard Is Finally Complete!!
After months of sitting in front of a computer and drawing gaming pieces pixel by pixel, Battlefleet Gothic is finally ready to play via email. I have worked out many of the kinks and jinks myself, but I am sure we will find a few more as we play test it.
To download the necessary files needed to play Battlefleet Gothic simply look to the right side of my blog and look for the list entitled "Cyberboard". There you will find the Player, Designer, Help Files, Gameboxes, Demos, and Scenarios.
Before you download the files, create a file on your desktop or my documents and call it something you will remember. I call my file for cyberboard, "Cyberboard"... simple eh.
The links will take you to a site called Gigasize where you will have to download the file by entering in a three digit security code. The code and download button are on the right side of the screen. After entering in the code a countdown will begin while the file is prepared to be downloaded. During this time you may or may not be advertized to by Gigasize, if so simply decline and skip the offers. This will only take about 35 seconds. After which the file is ready to download so you will click the download button and save it to your computer and into your cyberboard folder.
To see the gamebox open the designe and then open the gamebox. Choosing the gamebox first often times brings up an annoying choose program window. When closing these files never choose to save changes unless you are the designer.
To run the Demo and Scenario files open the Player and then open the desired Demo or scenario file. (word for the wise... never change or save over what you have downloaded. Doing so makes your files different then the others and then you will not be able to play. When closing these files never choose to save changes unless you are the designer or are actually playing a game.
A while back I posted a screen shot of what the game basically looks like on wigan wargames... click the link to see the post..

Now I will finish up Warmaster, and Epic... then I can move onto 40k and Fantasy.
See y'all later...
