Ok here is what bother's me about this.

The central thing going back in this game is the GM faction's have to follow all of the rule's that the player factions have to follow.

This is what makes it possible to beat the Terran Hegemony which is a rather nice component of the game (need multiple factions working together but it is possible).

The Attacks on Atreus and Oriente? Completely legitimate. That is exactly how rebellion intelligence operations work.

This thing with the Federated Sun's coming through Pella II? Yeah no. Allied or Hostile movement.

While I would be willing to let it slide for the purpose's of a GM run event and will. I do not at this time understand how this is being done.

If it is a one off and I just need to run with it? Fine. I need a GM to state that up front, and I will.

But with in the rule's this is not possible as posted.

Not trying to attack anyone. We are all adult's. I want some clarification. If this is the wrong forum to ask this question fine and I will apologize for that but the fact is whatever the answer is. That answer needs to be made available even if it is "Here is how you do it under the Rule's Chaos".

Its a one off as part of the FWL Rebellion storyline. Note the assumed bad guys on Regulus, and the person bossing the FS force.

Fine. Post force's then let's move this forward.

Just to clairfy, from a game mechanical POV, the FS used allied movement to get there. Who approved that allied movement is a good question, as it certainly wasn't anyone on Atreus.

Not to beat a dead horse. But all allied and hostile movements are required to be posted in the Movement SubForum. Who had authorized it could have been hidden from me successfully with a ??? instead of the inchar information.

This did not happen.

You are absolutely correct that it did not; this error occured because pertinent rule was promulgated while I was absent and I had overlooked it (not that that's an excuse... its just why the oversight happened). As this isn't the way the movement rules are intended to work, I'll be clarifying soon but until then any future "malfeasance moves" will be properly posted.

What is the distance of 1 hex? Is it 30 LYs?

That's the intention. I know that when the map was moved from "abstract shapes" to hexes they made some small modifications so I can't guarantee its a perfect 1:1 to the canon arrangement, but it should roughly match up.

Oooh, a new question. ;)

At Flastebro, forces were encircled and captured. By the crit definition, the forces go to Salvage, but the hex is contested due to 1 FP of Guerillas running to the hills.

How does this play out. These are forces that were encircled and captured... it's not like we're going thru salvage piles for this... we have them.

That's a good question actually. By the way the rules are written right now, you can't convert that salvage into resources or repair unless you have control of the hex... you could I guess fluff it as your techs being harassed by snipers etc and thus not being able to repair/refit the equipment for use, but its something I'll have to look.... well, today actually. As you happen to mention it I'm working on revisions to the crit tables and I should be posting them soon. I will try to address this in those rules.

The new Guerilla warfare rules mention Castles Brians and Super-Fortifications. When will creation rules of this kind be available to non-GM factions?

Its on the list of features to add, but I don't have a firm timeframe. It might be in for turn 6 if the other rules it depends on are ready to roll out, but I can't promise that yet.
