Hi all - Matt thats very helpful - thank you - I have collated the Q+A together for ease of reading
1. Can mixed League fleets be used?
1. No (no game/tournament balance reasons, it just seems reasonable for this event).
2. Does my flagship have to come from the same fleet as I selected, ie if I opt to play Centauri, can I chose to have a Drakh mothership as my flagship?
2. No reason why it should!
3. Do carried ships count towards the 8 ship limit?
3. No, in the same way flights do not (have fun, Drakh players).
4. Damaged ships are repaired, does this include replenishing fighters?
4. Yes.
5. Can I keep left over fighters from destroyed ships for the next game?
5. No (for simplicity's sake, if nothing else).
6. If a battle calls for less than 5 FAPs (such as Blockade Run), I assume I must use less than my full fleet? Can the Admiral still intervene?
6. Correct and yes (sort of - the Grand Admiral will have some rules here).
7. If several players take the role of Grand Admiral because they die and are replaced, who gets the trophy?
7. He who impresses us the most
8. How are you going to cope with personal bias should it arise?
8. The minimum bribe level will be one Mars bar. Seriously, 'words' will be had if things get nasty, but there will be many things in this campaign that will not strictly be 'fair'. It is not a tournament, it is an event. Gird your loins and fight the good fight.
9. What happens if a player loses all his ships and the Admiral cannot or will not replace them?
9. This should be an exceptionally rare event but, rest assured, he will not be left with nothing to do (and might just get a chance to get his own back. . .).
10. What happens if one side has vanquished the other before the end of weekend?
10. That is so not going to happen
11. If the Admiral joins a battle and his ship survives, does his ship get a refit as well as the player's or just one ship on his side, and if just one who decides?
11. Admirals will have. . . their own rules here.
12. Is an admiral required to keep his word?
12. Well, technically, no. But woe betide the treacherous Admiral - remember what happened to Clark. . .
13. If a fleet for hire fights for one side, can they throw the battle for payment by the other side? If so hiring mercanaries could become a dubious prospect, especially since you will get them allocated for free.
13. They will be required to fight. They will not be required to fight to their full extent if bribed (all part of the fun). You cannot just concede (I had this happen to me once at a GW event before Jervis stepped in - remember, you are here to play games. . .).
14. Will non-official models such as the Valerius (Adira stand-in) be allowed?
14. Conversions yes, new models no.
15. If a scenario calls for more than 5 FAPs (Planetary Assault: attacker), what happens?
15. You will receive instructions on the day (a great deal will depend _where_ in space the battle is taking place. . .).
16. Will all of your ships really be repaired after every scenario (meaning that they'll be arriving as fresh reinforcements for an adjacent table), or do they only get repaired at the end of the campaign round?
16. End of the round - if you reinforce someone, they won't have time to be repaired.
17. Likewise, do you really get the refit roll immediately after you finish your own scenario (and therefore before you reinforce an adjacent table)?
17. Again, no.
17b. Assuming that the refit roll is per scenario, does this mean that you get a refit roll for reinforcing an adjacent table?
17b. no, tipping the balance in your side's favour is reward enough.
18. If a scenario calls for less than 5 FAPs and that battle ends, can the player use the full 5 FAPs of his fleet to reinforce another battle
18. No - you are always limited to a maximum of two. 18b. Yes, 'fraid so!
19. Do we need to bring civilian ships for Convoy Duty & Supply Ships scenarios, or will Mongoose be providing those?
19. Appreciated if you could. Counters, remember, are just fine.
20. If a Minbari player is selected to be Admiral, can he borrow Mongoose's Neroon, since there isn't a model
20. Sounds like fun - why not!
21. If I chose an admiral as part of my fleet selection, do his abilities 'reset' before I proceede to another table as reinforcements?
21. No, assume it is part of the same battle for this purpose.
22 - Will all games be at battle priority? With only an 8-ship limit it's tempting to bring bug guns, but if raid and skirmish games pop up that's going to cause a lot of trouble.
22. Yes, all Battle (again, for simplicity's sake - this is a huge war, after all).
23.Will "dead" characters be allowed? Sheridan for example. Hopefully not.
23. No.
24. Is the ISA allowed to use its Allies rule - can you have (potentially) Vree fighting Vree etc?
24. Yup!
25) Can a proxy ship be used for the"admrial" ship if you do not have the model. (Thinking Minbari and Drakh here)?
25. No. However, the Drakh shouldn't have a problem by then (he said, touch wood), and we can help the Minbari out (though why EA players would vote for a Minbari to lead them. . .).
26) If you use a unique admiral (G'sten) or ship as part of your fleet and it is destroyed, can it be replaced?
26. Umm, I am going to say no on that one
27) Can two or more players field the same unique ship?
27. Yes. Again, for simplicity's sake.
28 ) will we be using the refits tables in the fleet book? after battles
28. Yes.
