I love that this is taking off. Trek Captains is my love letter to the 1980s fandom of Star Trek I never got to join. The FASA years, Trek 2, 3, and 4 in theaters, the comics were giving us a faux TV series of the period and fans were wearing monster maroons. This game is set in that time.

Bloody lane - by Vincent Cooper end of turn 8 Confederate artillery landed a few shots and was able to inflict some damage to Capt J. A. Thompkins battery. We were able to drive back by inflicting heavy losses to the 1st DW, 130th PA and the 14th CT. www.wargamevault.com/m/product/53...

WZ: Napoleon. Took a moment to rebalance the games start state. These are initial armies and initial coinage. Red is always coalition, grey is either or depending on the draw, and blue is French.

Bloody Lane -Vince Cooper Major Victory! 11 units destroyed in Regular mode. The 14th In, 63rd NY, and the 88th NY were tough cookies and remained on the board Link: www.wargamevault.com/m/product/53...

🎲✂️ TrekCaptains: since I'm thinking about it, here's a past mechanic: captain cards. I've evolved past this, but it uses a convoluted system where you can add these major skill rolls to assist checks where minor skills were present. Complex for complexity's sake.
