| Star Fleet Battles |
What is Star Fleet Battles? A cool board game that puts you in command of a Starship. It is a really detailed system of playing and I enjoy playing it when I have the time.
The main home page Star Fleet Games has a forum that I like to visit and play PBEM games of Star Fleet Battles. You can easily find me for my ID is Jonathan Snyder(GornCaptain)
I first came in contact with Star Fleet Battles while playing the Computer game Star Trek: Star Fleet Command. It kept mentioning in it's manual that is was based off of a board game called Star Fleet Battles. I looked it up on Ebay and bought the Basic Set to try it out.
I loved playing it and kept buying the stuff off of Ebay because I thought the game was out-of-print. Most of the websites I visited were out of date. I stumbled across the homepage and found it was still an active game and I didn't even have half of ALL the stuff out there. So, here I am enjoying my favorite game.

Once I get a hang of the SFB rules, it is possible for me to moderate games also. (that's when I help people a game along). I don't know the rules well enough yet to start, but I put this section here just to make sure your used to it. The red games are in process and the Green COMPLETED means I'm done with them.

STAR FLEET BATTLES ONLINE(SFBOL)
SFB through the email is very slow and sometimes you wish you had something else to do while waiting for the Moderator to get all the stuff together. Well, they finally made SFB to be played online! It is SFBOL!
To learn more information about SFBOL you can go to their main website at: www.sfbonline.com and look in to it. I enjoy playing it! Maybe you will. (NOTE: You'll at least have to know how to play SFB in the first place.)
