SFB Tactics Manual
[5703]

If you've got the 1992 version of this book already, don't bother with this. The updates are extremely minor, as near as I can tell.

If you haven't got the old version, though, get this book! It's great at explaining how to use drones, high energy turns, tractor beams, transporter bombs, oblique attacks, the Gorn Anchor, shuttles, reserve power, and so much more! Every faction up to the Wyn, LDR, and ISC is discussed in detail, including reviews of some of their more common ships.

SFB Tactics Manual
SFB player, why don’t you have this already?! Buy it now, then come back and read my review. It goes like this, I played SFB for years and for years my buddy and I played it wrong. Yeah, I know, who can’t figure out how long a ¼ turn is? The Tactics manual breaks down into a variety of useful subjects and clearly demonstrates how the rules were meant to work and how you can best apply them. It was the Zen moment of my SFB gaming reading this book. There is no point in trying to break down the variety of subjects, but it is a wonderful treatment of our favorite game. Even casual SFB players should pick this up because it provides a gateway into truly learning the game. Roll low!
