At Battleground Games in Abington gamers have started to return to the realm of Battlefleet Gothic. BFG is a great game, created by Andy Chambers, and my absolute favorite Games Workshop production. I highly recommend reading the Wikipedia article for an overview behind the game. Also don’t forget to get the rulebook for FREE at the Specialist Games website (yes this is legal).
In addition to BFG veterans getting back into the game there have been some new players eager to join the fray. I’ve been playing BFG for almost a decade having started back in 2000, or thereabouts, at Danger Planet Games in Waltham. One of the new players has a Tau fleet utilizing the special Tau torpedoes. Sunday he played a 1k game against a friend’s Space Marine fleet resulting in a draw. After watching the game I remembered that other fleets, excluding Tau, can use Appendix I of the Armada book to field special torpedoes too and wondered the value of doing so.
I created a study to determine the value of spending 20 or 30pts for special torpedoes. This study is not scientific, I’m not a scientist, and I’m not a mathematician but I hope this study will be useful to you BFG fans. I rolled 10 dice 10 times for a total of 100 rolls. I recorded the results of each roll and then tabulated the totals. This provided me with the percentage that a given result will be rolled on the Special Torpedoes table (see page 156 of Armada).
