    Ships of the ISA

    Correct, in 2e a Battle point will buy you 8 Patrol ships/wings. Rather than buying 8 Patrol ships, I would be tempted to 4 Patrol and 1 Raid. There are several decent Fleet Carriers at Raid level and this would provide you with fighters and bonuses. My personal preference would be the Stuteeka...

    Ships of the ISA

    Heads up folks, I have added a short section on allies too. 8) Very good value. It contains all the really good stuff. You will only need to add to it really if you go to War level or above You are right I generally prefer 2 WSs over a WSG until you get to the level where the 2:1 ratio breaks...

    Ships of the ISA

    The Interstallar Alliance (or The Hammer and Anvil) The ISA has one of the most advanced fleet's in the game and is probably the most trait-heavy too. The ships fall into 2 distinct categories, the fast hammer ship with most of their weapons in the Forward arc (Blue Stars, White Stars and...

    Size of players' fleets - curious

    You do not have to move at the maximum speed although if you want to move < 1/2 speed I think you need to use the "All stop" command. Why does it matter how far they moved? In general distance moved does not affect the performance of the ship unless they are on special orders. So just record...

    New b5 player need advise

    One compromise that seems to work quite well is to use the Fleet action scale models for the small, numerous escort ships like Vorchans, Olypmus's (Olympii?), Torothas etc and then use ther larger scale models for the iconic capital ships from the show. This gives a good balance between having...

    New b5 player need advise

    Don't forget that you will need the fleet list book too. ISA is a good fleet but you may struggle to find models for it. The White Stars are easy enough but the rest of the fleet is harder. Most of the fleet (Whitestar gunships, carriers, fighters, Nolotar frigates, Bluestars) were only...

    New b5 player need advise

    Hello, The starter sets as others have observed have mostly sold out. If you can find independent gamng stores in your area, it might be worth giving them a call as they might have one or two lurking at the back of shelves. Noble Knight and Agents of Gaming seem to be the only 2 places left...

    Fleet allocation points

    Agreed, I am not a huge fan of the FAP system but if Mongoose plan to stick with it then sorting this out is a priority. I think it was the one where a Battle point could be spent on 3 Skirmish or 2 Skirmish + 1 Raid (same result was available for other PLs too). Kinda a no-brainer really! :P...

    The Gray Council Sharlin

    Personally I think that the Grey Sharlin should be a light touch. I would say remove some of the fighters and give it Command +1. Simple, effective and not too overpowering.

    Crusade Era EA help

    Agreed. The Cruasde era box set actually covers most of what you need and throws in a few extra toys as well. All you would need to add to that would some Patrol level options of your favourite flavour.
