What great timing! I just pulled out my copy to try and finally learn it- then kept getting smashed in the intro scenario. Came here looking to see if I was really that un-space-traderly-skilled, or if it was mostly just bad luck. (Thinking bad luck…) Great playthrough and great editing! Just a couple things I noticed: 42:00 Cassie’s ammo shot should’ve gone into the hostility track (would’ve pushed up into Aware faster) 49:00 Wade’s special ability in his armor slot lets him go up to five spaces with each move (might’ve zipped him along a little faster) 55:15 I think the enemy’s second action would’ve been to make a ranged attack with Wade directly in his sights And I think the exhaust fire does hurt First Born- they just choose not to go through it. (However, if they’re in the wrong spot at the wrong time… muhuhuhahaa) Looking forward to more!
EDIT: another thing that I just read (official FAQ and errata) should really help us both out in future games- ignore the drones’ two actions and only go through their AI once each round. Therefore they are limited to one move, or one attack, or one move&attack per round.
Good eye! You are right on all 3 counts! I noticed forgetting to spend Cassie's ammo in a rewatch, but I hadn't caught the other two. I will definitely be checking out the FAQ. Thanks for the the assist, I am looking forward to starting a campaign soon.

Ty for this the written guide was a bit of a bugbear to follow.
Hope it helped; it is a great game once you get going!
