Hey you liked it before!

Can anyone provide me the answer to the following found in Chapter 8 of the Pocket Empires?

It lists the following abbreviations: ATT, DEF, TRN and JMP. How are they calculated, where are the tables to convert a High Guard Ship or a Ground Force. It is not in the back of the book for a means to convert them.

In looking in the Pocket Empires glossary, the following definitions are given.

ATT = Attack Factor A measure of the offensive capability of a military unit. See Chapter 8: War
DEF = Defense Factor A measure of the defensive capability of a military unit. See Chapter 8: War.
JMP = Jump Factor A measure of the Jump capability of a military unit. See Chapter 8: War.
TRN = Transport Factor A measure of the transport capacity of a military unit. See Chapter 8: War.

See page 81 for a brief coverage of the various factors, but does not really give an idea of how to calculate them.

They're not calculated. They're assign. They're points that you buy when you build the attack force. The limits are that the JMP factor has to equal ATT+DEF+TRN, and TRN has to equal ATT+DEF (I think).

They're wildly abstract used to conduct operations over a YEAR LONG turn. Correlating these with, well, anything is pretty much not worth the trouble.

Sounds like building your own Imperium/FFW counter.

Well, you're empire building so that's, essentially, exactly what you're doing.

It would be more useful to know "the math" behind the FFW counters as they are more, essentially, 1:1 translatable to HG ships.

There's another T4 supplement called Imperial Squadrons that was based very closely on the FFW rules, and it had systems for building squadrons like those in FFW.
