Star Fleet Battles Cadet Training Manual

Task Force Games released this supplement to ease new players into the complex game system of the Star Fleet Battles series. The first four scenarios are solo and each gives the player newly learned rules to put into play. After the first four, it's one-against-one. There are a total of 12 scenarios; after that you graduate up to the Basic Set. Here's what the back of the book says, "Out-think, out-shoot, and out-maneuver your opponent in warp speed dogfights throughout the galaxy. Cadet Training Manual places you in the command chair of the Fedration starship Constellation, where you will learn the skills of a starship commander in easy-to-grasp steps. As you continue through the manual, the mysteries of the Romulan cloaking device, Klingon disruptors, and elements which make every race unique will be revealed to you. You will have the opportunity to command ships of every race as you enter the universe of Star Fleet Battles."
