EA vs. Vree: Remember Area 51!

[Obsidian]

I don't know, Poseidon is carrier 8 so that is 2 turns to empty the hangers. I probably would have sent the fighters in in 2 smaller waves. When you do have that many fighters on the board the Fleet Carrier recovery rolls are very useful and you will likely recover more than 2 flights of them during the game.

You have a point there. I had missed that the Poseidon had gotten Carrier 8 back after getting nerfed in SFoS to carrier 4. Looks like the Ship Sheets need to be updated...

For the Recovery thing though, you'll notice that Prelude specifically addresses that and how useless it was. By the time he was launching the attacks, with the fighters, the Vree were already in close proximity to the main body of his fleet. This meant that he would recover the fighters and they would then sit there for a turn unable to move or do anything while the Vree blew them up again. Basically a turkey shoot.

D'oh, I missed it too, I'll add it to my list of changes to make.

The EA crusade list is actually quite weak on fighters. They need to take big ships to get a reason able amount.
The lost of the Nova & Avenger makes it hard for them actually to field the EA fighter horde without resorting to the Poisedon.
