750 Fleet Design

[Joebeast]

Hi all
I just got the rules. Next week four of us are going to try a game. The Feds and Kzinti will be one side and the Klingons and Romulan the other. Each race will have a 750pt fleet. None of us has played so I am looking for good (basic rules only) fleets for us to use.

Fleet ideas for each race please.

Joe

Well, what models do you have or are you proxying everything ? And do you want ship mixes based around current squadron and/or fleet sets ?

 

[Joebeast]

Using counters to test the game. If we like it we will order fleet boxes and what not. I just have the basic rules so any ship from them.

 

[Iain McGhee]

OK then. BTW make sure you have the errata, there's been a number of changes to ship stats and certain rules (most notably: Lumbering trait has been removed and drones have been brought more into line with the source material). You'll find at the bottom of this page :http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/miniatures/ctastarfleet/rulebooks/a-call-to-arms-star-fleet.html

I'd suggest:

Federation:- NCA/NCL/NCL/DW/DW (750pts)
Kzinti:- BC/CM/DW/FF/FF (750pts)
Klingon:- D7C/D7/D7/F5/F5 (755pts)
Romulan:- SPA/SPA/SKH/WE/WE (750pts)

You'll see the ship class abbreviations on the first page of each fleet. Tried to make each fleet roughly equal in capabilities rather than optimised.

Thanks, I noticed each fleet has 5 ships. Was that done to aviod initiative issues?

 

[Iain McGhee]

Yes, although it works out about that anyway if you don't include any of the heavier ship classes at that point level.
