Star
Blazers Space
Battleship Yamato
Originally appearing in the United States as Star Blazers,
the adventures of the Space Battleship Argo (Yamato) were a
classic that spun off sequels, series, movies and much much
more. What is below is from the original Star Blazers
series and the Star Blazers Fleet Battle System
game (which is still in production with miniatures available
at
http://www.starblazersonline.com)
The recent remade version, Space Battleship Yamato 2199 and
the following Yamato 2202 and beyond have modified and updated the
Yamato and the rest of Earth's fleet and some of the ships
below have not appeared. There are a number of really nice
smaller plastic models now available for the ships in these new series
but they don't quite match up to the ships and stats shown below.

There
are a couple small rules modifications: Nova Cannons have to charge
like Wave Guns (amount double Wave Gun). Hulls are Weak or Fragile
since these ships die quickly and are over gunned when compared to other
designs. So to keep total mass down and keep all of the weapons, weaker
hulls were used.
The Yamato has a special place in the Sci-Fi
Crossover Universe. In Sci-Fi Crossover 2000, its Nova Cannon took out a
massive Super Star Destroyer in a very cinematic moment. |
