Basicly it depends on if you want your creation to be tactical or operational/strategic level. in first case i'd say BFA, in second case ATG.

Vic,

Both have Pluses,
Can I change combat in ATG?

Like add the possibility for critical hits, have my own tables on what is a hit (and Damage done), Misses, Minor Damage, Systems degrading as unit takes damage and so on type stuff?

The Table Top game, is Tactical like BFA, so a more strategic level is interesting to me, just trying to understand what may be doable in each, before I dive in.

Thanks for your time, ATG looks very good, great job on it,
Lee

actually what you suggest is not possible without some abstraction.
