MBS DW Fan 2.5 FAQ - Working Thread UPDATED 2/20/18: FAQ is Live!

[StingerTheRaven]

Our eight player group has house ruled it this way - Carriers take Deck Damage at the same rate as hull damage, up to the maximum Carrier points.

Effectively making Carrier(x, 1x5 wings) behave like a gun with (x) AD then. Does Redoubtable apply in such fashion in your circle? i.e. lose one point of Carrier(x) for every two hull damage

[Covertwalrus]

 Redoubtable if it applies to the Hull would count, yes.

 Hey all, long time no see! Too busy playing 2.5 and converting "new" craft.

 A question - Does anyone recall the 6 engined bomber that was offered at IIRC Salute one year, the Valkyrie? And would anyone have the stats?

Sorry, did not have anything copied on it from the before times; normally my go-to for missing cards is eBay listing images, but the only thing up right now for the Valkyrie's Fury is one item that is marked as 'Unidentified bomber' so no luck there...

I found it!

This blog post from the old Element 270 blog had a link to where the stats were stored on the original Spartan Games website:

Naturally, that link is long dead, but the internet never forgets! I went over to the Internet Archive, punched in the url from the 270 blog, and...paydirt!
