GAME SELECTION CARD
: There are five separate scenarios in THE WARP FACTOR.
Four of the scenarios are set for solitaire play and they are
Reman Chase. Attack on an Outpost. Attack on a Starbase, and
Dogfight. The fifth scenario is totally free form with two players
choosing their Meets and then fighting for control of space.
1. Reman Chase
This scenario pits a single Alliance heavy crulser against a
Reman destroyer. The player commands the Alliance ship whose
mission It is to destroy the Reman ship before the computer can
pilot it to the safety of the Alliance/Reman neutral zone. The
player wins if he destroys the Reman ship. The computer wins if
the Alliance ship is destroyed. even if the Reman ship has also
been destroyed. The computer also wins if the Reman ship is
able to cross the neutral zone. or if the Alliance ship upsets the
current political stability by crossing the neutral zone. (Note:~
Due to a shortage of fuel. the Alliance cruiser’s warp drives are
When choosing your ships. keep in mind that one side may
choose ships whose total value is up to 20% higher than the total
value of the other side's ships (actually you may give one side
may not award a victory to the advantaged side even ifall of the =
smaller side's ships are captured). Example 1: In scenario 4 a = ‘ ‘
player could give the computer 2 Klargon dreadnoughts and 1 |
Klargon cruiser (ie..9+9+6=24 points) while taking for himselfa
fleet consisting of 1 Alliance dreadnought and 2 Alliance
cruisers (1.e., 9+6+6=21 points). Although the player is ata 14%
disadvantage in determining victory the computer will consider
this, thus making the scenario acceptable. Example 2: In scenario
2a player could choose ships that valued between 5 and7 points
since he is opposed by a 6-point outpost.
Note: Remember that each player may only have ships represent-
ing one Empire in any one scenario (Le.. there is no mixing of
nationalities),
operating at only% efficiency. Thus the Alliance ship has 10 less
points of energy to allocate each turn.) it)
