2 Battle point list- unkown opponent

[Burger]

If they have split the pl down to patrol or skirmish even a glancing hit from either ships beam will kill a ship.

You're not using the standard 2e beam rules?
Total beam misses are very common!

Fair enough. Let me rephrase.

In my experience the Omega should make a kill against a patrol level ship with most shots. A Hyperion's laser is still enough to worry a ship of that level.

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 and after a quick cross-section found they were weighted.

I believe weighted dice come under the heading of 'cheating.'

I didn't mean to seem pro-beams. I was only responding to the previous posts about outnumbering. As you don't know what your opponent will be using use whatever fleet you prefer. Any suggestions made here could be made obsolete by whatever you end up facing.
