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.
