1) I wouldn't see why not for Strategic Targets... 2) I would say yes. After all, you gained a new Strategic Target...

Oh, I sure hope so. I don't buy the minis, so the counters rock my socks off. I could sub in other races counters (except for those damnable square Vree), but it just doesn't feel the same.

How about downgrading to a pair of Haliks or Urik'Hals? Feed the Gaim player some e-mines right back. Can a single Pak ship use the Plama Web rule, or does it require 2+ ships?

Also, is the CQ check just for the first round or does the ship have to make a CQ check before it can act normally going into subsequent rounds?

I thought about it (I initially had 3 Avengers + another Earth ship), but I've been able to R&R 3 whopping flights in my ACtA career (I like to go fighter heavy, so that's a lot of failed rolls) and everytime I do, the carrier goes up in a fireball shortly after. I swear, the enemy gunners must...

This is a great thread.... I'm going to be in a similar boat this Friday. My force is going to be the Victory, WS Carrier, 6 White Star IIs, Liandra, Nolo'Tar, 4 Blue Stars, 2 Brokados, and 2 Haliks (Bringing 8 WS Fighters, 6 Nials, 1 Flyer, 3 Starfuries, 3 Thuds, and 12 Pikitos to the...

Oh my, those are some sexy Earth ships!

According to the rules, yeah, it looks like it. Noting in the rules contradicts this and fighters are considered ships for most rules purposes...

My first 2e game was Ambush, Vree being ambushed by Psi-corps. As luck would have it, random terrain put a density 6 asteroid field on the table and the Vree player (the ambushee) set up in it to take advantage of the free stealth. On turn 1, 2 hunters, 1 Nova, 1 Avenger (both ships with targets...

Never faced them, but I made sure to take them when I placed the Centauri. The Demos was one sweet, nasty ship until the nose got shot off.

Battle lasers...ugh. A little bit less hard hitting, but a more favorable range penalty and high Centauri sensors meant they hit more often. Not my favorite opponent to play against.

Ahhh. I'm not the only one.

w00t! Thanks, Burger...it allows me to plot my roommate's demise when I'm at a site without a wireless connection.

Wow, that was fast... Is there any chance of getting the S&P 45 ships in the downloadable version? *bats eyes at Burger, TenaciousB, and whoever else he needs to*

Yes it does (kind of...it also depends on the positioning of your fighters). The easiest thing to do is move your Starfuries first. The Nial automatically intercepts the first fighter making it's attack run. You then move the other Fury into the dogfight and let your T-bolts have at the WS...
