Federation & Empire: Planetary Operations 2021 Rulebook

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Repairs and Spending and Raids, Oh My!

Planetary Operations has more rules for Federation & Empire. It is newly improved and updated, having gone through extensive review and discussion during Stratcon 2021. All rules questions from the ADB, Inc.’s BBS have been addressed to provide the best experience for every empire. There are new rules for Combat (300.00), Repairs (420.00), Economics (430.00-450.00), and Special rules (500.00). It also includes four scenarios (600.00).

Want to do interesting and dirty things to an enemy’s planet (or prevent rebellions on one of yours)? Then the advanced raids rules are for you. Marine Major Generals will give you a chance to use those surplus commando ships (which could also be used to prevent rebellions). Then there are those pesky Tholian pinwheels.

Want a few free ships per turn from scraps of ships, keep key ships in the battle for another turn or two, and possibly convert ships while being repaired?  Depot-level repair will (once you get the war moving) deliver a few free ships per turn from what you thought were just scraps and fragments. Rapid combat repair will keep key ships in the battle for another turn or two. Planetary repair docks are, basically, cheap fleet repair docks that can’t move. Conversion during repair will improve the efficiency of your logistical network.

Colonial development allows you to “build a planet” and then build a base on it. Better control of your economy comes through the advanced deficit spending rules. (Warning: there is the possibility of bankrupting your empire!) You can transfer provinces as part of a deal (or you can annex provinces you stole from somebody else). Trade with the WYN Cluster is free money for everybody, and even the Kzintis can do it by the new blockade running rules. Any empire can improve its production system by building a minor shipyard (avoiding overbuilds). An empire that has seen its capital captured but had the foresight to build minor shipyards can get back into the game for less money by building a medium shipyard. Production overrides and allowable substitutions give you more control over your building schedule.

Special rules include alternate ways to use the Orions, espionage & sabotage, the long-demanded megafighter rule, forward defense units, early warning networks, resistance movements, more tug missions, and special counters.

Four new scenarios provide their own challenges and alternative starts for the General War grand campaign.

You will need the Federation & Empire 2010 Rulebook and various countersheets to use this expansion.

So is this entire book going to be included in the upcoming all-in-one "Warbook" for Federation and Empire?

Great news! I remember some time ago it was mentioned that the updates to the older individual rulebooks signaled the readiness to blend the omnibus Warbook together properly. Keep up the good work--especially in these difficult times.

Maybe next summer? But please don't hold me to that.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
