About this game

Formalhaut II is a daring game of tactical ship to ship combat." (from the Formalhaut II rules booklet.) Game includes a third dimension using a "Declination" system from -10 to +10 to represents the "height" or "depth" of a ship relative to other ships and objects. Ships use "rocket" power to move one hex and/or one declination each movement phase. Hyperjump movement allows a ship to move to any hex and/or declination and is secretly pre-plotted two turns before the actual movement occurs. Ship weaponry includes missiles (track and run), guns and defensive shields. Guns and shields must be powered by allocation of power points. Formalhaut II Published 1975 The Dave Casciano Co.
