Amarillo Design Bureau has released the revisied version of their A Call to Arms: Star Fleet, Book One online for free although you can opt to support the publishers by donating a fair price. You can find the publication here at the Wargame Vault but here's what they have to say about the release:
This exciting revision of the first volume includes the rules to play the Federation, Klingons, Romulans, Kzintis, Gorns, Tholians, and Orion pirates using the Call to Arms combat system. This system is miniatures based (no hexes) and is very streamlined. There is no energy allocation (although some special actions will slow your ship down as your chief engineer diverts powers to whatever special order you gave). Each turn consists of one movement phase and one attack phase. Ships fire one at a time (or in squadrons) and if a ship is destroyed before it gets to fire, well, too bad!
All of the rules have been reviewed, clarified as needed, and are now in one location. All of the ships have had their stats reviewed and errors corrected. There has been extensive playtesting of this version. You will find that the ease of play has been retained so large battles can be handled quickly.
We are releasing the basic version as “pay what you want” in fulfillment of the promise that people who purchased the first edition would get free replacement of the rules and ship rosters. This is a limited-time offer. This product is being done as a joint venture with Mongoose Publishing Ltd., under the strict terms of ADB, Inc.'s contract with Paramount Pictures Corporation.
