No worries. I'm stilling gaining interest for my campaign so I haven't playtested the rules to see if they're workable but I like the idea myself.

Total amount of flights in hangars not individual patrol choices. Yea it was a fun game and I'm hoping to play a centauri game next week. I'm going to run some 2 point Raid demo's to get interest in Bab5. I know about 8-9 people with fleets but all are playing different things so get it playing...

So I played my game today and I guessed my opponents fleet exactly- remember the other thread? I used: Omega Hyperion Olympus Hermes Hermes 4 thunderbolts, 3 starfuries He used: Marathon Hyperion Chronos Hermes Hermes 5 starfuries. While my fleet is red and Russian his was Grey/Grey...

I always understood it as being that the Admiral must be placed on the biggest ship when initially bought. Otherwise it wouldn't include the 5RR points for transfering during campaign. I think once in the game (and this is the way I'd play it) the Admiral could be transfered to anyship the...

Well I don't know much about the true Russian fleet I just went and chose names that seemed cool and weren't too alike.

haha i do have ship names they're all based on current or old Russian navy ships. My characters are all based on Russian Admirals. I didn't see the gallery thread until after I posted this. Is it worth it to double post it? The Admiral Golovko – Warlock Class Advanced Destroyer, Simferopol –...

So we've swung to beams. My beans usually end up getting close to the same amount of die as they do original AD. My friends dice on the other hand...a skirmish level 2AD beam ended up with 11 dice and 5 criticals when hitting my Warlock in a game. I ended up winning because we nabed his dice...

Makes a convincing case for the Hyperion. I've been fiddling around with the Vassal game learning how to use it etc. Anyone want to play a few games so I can test out my fleet? I live in Sydney, Australia

If I drop the nova and put in an Hyperion (my original thought) I'll only have 7 flighter flights. Do people think this may be an issue? Also with only 5 ships My Hyperion/Omega will usually only be able to line up on his minor warships (unless I'm lucky). I thought the mass batteries may be...

Hey you want to start calling Aussie beer bad? At least we don't drink it warm who ever thought up that idea is NOT an ideas man. I'm not playing Digger I'm not going to the UK to play a game of ACTA. Mind you I was there last jan. To think I'm trying to quit my drinking. Again I just don't...

Say what... digger besides who says I can't have a beer as I play with my red ships? I have 4 T-bolts so I could use 4 of them on the Omega and then have the Nova and Hermes on Aurora fighters. Well I guess I'd have 2 on the Nova and 2 on the Omega so it only takes 2 turns to get them out...

Next thursday I'm playing my first game in 8 months. I'm fighting against a friend who happens to own every ship in the game, in duplicates, so I have no idea what I'll be up against. Please tell me what you think of the list and basic idea on how I'll use it. We must use 1 battle level ship...

Thanks man. Nice to see they're appreciated.

yea just wish I'd been neater. When I eventually do get around to repainting them I'm going to keep the red scheme but will create a little more variation in the reds and increase the highlighting up to yellow/white. Similar to the highlighting on this;

Here is the history and theme behind my fleet and some photos (coming once I can remember my photobucket account :roll: ) The painting isn't good at all but I did it a few years back when I had money and didn't care. Now that I have no money the models mean a little more then chess pieces to me...
