Boba Rick 4,209 Posted October 6, 2016 I like Eclipse, and I'm thinking about getting this... but I have one question. Is combat simultaneous? In Eclipse, I hate, hate, hate that massive groups of ships can get blown up before getting a chance to fire. Same thing in this game or no? I love that in Rebellion they stay on the board until the end of that firing phase. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorranHornfan 72 Posted October 6, 2016 Get it. Yes combat is simultaneous. If you like rebellion you'll love TI3, it's a little longer but more fun (in my opinion) Rules aren't super complex - there's just a lot of them. 2 Boba Rick and SlaveofChrist reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4m4d1s 3 Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) but there's precombat fire. i never play eclipse but at least here is not that common and mostly is focus in one particular tipe of ship Edited October 6, 2016 by 4m4d1s 1 Zogwort reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forgottenlore 9,838 Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) As has been mentioned, there are a couple special rules that can allow a unit to get in some shots without return fire, but for the most part it's "one side rolls attacks, total hits, other side rolls attacks, total hits, then both sides remove casualties. Then do it again. If you've ever played axis and allies, the combat system is virtually identical.
