ambush scenario question

First turn defender cant act in attack phase without passing cq test. Does that include defensive fire vs drones and plasma?
 
I would say no defensive fire. I also suspect that this means that Feds can't use their AAD, but that other races can. (Feds are firing a weapon, but it's a trait for other races)

Ok. That's some serious plasma destruction coming in my upcoming romulan vs klingon, 1000 vs 2000.

Have fun with that - just make sure you do enough damage in the first turn, or you are going to be hurting quickly :)

Yeh. That's serious plasma destruction I'm going to NEED! Bloody klingons having twice the point means they can afford to lose couple ships and still wipe the floor with me.

What I haven't decided yet is whether I should aim to take out dreadnought(he WILL bring dreadnought in 2k game!) when it's about only time in the game I hope to do that or should I aim to take out couple cruisers instead.

Also how long I try to stay there. If I want to fire 2 plasma's it means escape on turn 4 earliest. Humhum.

That's the balance for the attacker - you have to get in, do enough damage, and then get out. There is always the temptation to get greedy and stay for 'just one more turn.'
 
As in normal ACTA games - terrain will be important in working out how long to stay and if you can use it to shield you whilst re-loading?
