Q1  How long should a normal game take to play?
  A normal game can be completed in an hour to an hour and a half, depending on the size of fleets engaged.
 
 Q2  Do you need an exact strike value of 18 to destroy a Naval Base?
   No, a score of 18 or over is required.
   
 Q3  Do I need SD3000 spaceship models to play the game or can any spaceship models be used?
    No! as long as the model carries a ship identification code as outlined in the rules, then any models can be used.
 
 Q4 What size table is required to play the game?
  This depends upon whether you intend to use models or counters. If using models in conjunction with hexes measuring 30cm across flats, a 6ft x 4ft table is required. However, if using counters to represent the spaceships, and hexes measuring 17cm across flats, a table measuring 3ft 6" x 2ft 6" is perfectly adequate.

Counters and 17cm Hex can be downloaded free from the Downloads page.

 
 Q5  When 2 friendly Task Forces occupy the same Hex, why can't they combine and redistribute their ships?
 

This issue has promoted much discussion. As a result Optional Rule 8 has been produced in response to feedback from SD3K players.
