EA Missiles

[catbarf]

Hi, I'm in the Vassal tournament and I'm wondering which missiles to take. I know for sure that I am facing a couple of Minbari players, so what should I take? I'm thinking maybe long-range so I can hit the slippery devils, or perhaps Heavy to make thos luck shots I get off really hurt. Any help?

I like Heavy and Flash missiles personally. Heavy are damn scary if you can get within 12" range, whereas Flash are something of the Jack-of-all-trades missile.

LaranosTZ can attest to the destruction a trio of Hermes armed with Heavy Missiles can do, especially if your opponent ignores them.

Shouldn't missile types be chosen in the supplied fleet list first?

Sorry, I just realized after I had sent my list that I didn't know what missiles to give them... I'm hoping my opponents don't mind :?

I haven't seen anything in the rules that says that a player has to choose their missle loadout before the tourney as a whole. Actually, it makes more sense to me that they'd be able to select their missle loadout per-battle, since unless it is a complete suprise most engagements would at least know what race they are fighting.

I'll let it go this time but you do choose your missile type when you choose your fleet. This means for a tourney you choose one type with the fleet list submission and have to stick with it.

I just assumed no variants were being used (or different fighters) if they player didn't specify otherwise. Catbarf - choose something but it'll have to last the entire tourney (and on that basis may I suggest flash missiles all round).

Thanks a lot, I'm kinda new (if you aren't able to tell :lol: ) and I was just running through my 'list of stuff I need to do for the tourney' and just hit a speed bump when I realized I hadn't chosen missiles! Alright, I'm taking Heavies.

im not sure how vassel works but in the actas model range i usually will take
the normal missiles for forward firing and side firing ships but usually heavy missiles for rear firing as i find distance is not a issue when an enemy passes they usually keep close by so they can use secondary weapons as well as primary
i pick the normal because when i finally beat stealth im hitting on a 3+ instead of the flashs 4+ im usually terrible with beating stealth roles so opt for the easy hit when i get the chance
