We had our Tuesday night game last night and decided to try out both my new Space Mat I bought from deepcut studios and my my Heavy Raider. It was noticed that the Colonial planes in the starter box sets have 21 movement cards per vehicle plus a Blank Maneuver card. Each card is numbered from 1/21 to 21/21 and the Dummy is not numbered. The Heavy Raider has 12 cards including the Dummy Maneuver card. They are numbered from 1/12 to 11/12 and the Dummy is not numbered. This led to us searching for the "missing" card until I checked my unopened Raptor deck and found that was the same. So, if you think you have lost a card when you play with your Raptors or Heavy Raiders you have not.
The game we played was one Heavy Raider (flown by me) plus escort (flown by Mark) on the way home being attacked by two Vipers flown by Windy Jack and Biggles Downunder. All the Asteroids and Planatoids were also incorporated into our game. Thanks to some really vigorous defence and superb positioning Mark managed to kill first Windy then Biggles Downunder leaving us free to complete our mission. A good game and I can recommend the Heavy Raider to anyone thinking of buying one. It equated to a two seater in the WGF game and did well in this fight.
