fighters and stealth

[darknight]

god this is silly, i either cant find it or am looking over it, do fighters still ignor stealth when within a certain range?

 

[Right Hand of God]

when in base to base contact with the enemy they do yes

 

[Arch Lector Petrovski]

Excellent. Now all I need to worry about is anti-fighter. :?

 

[darknight]

cheers r.h.o.g. i thought it was the same, but i couldnt find it

 

[Greg Smith]

It is under the fighter attack rules, page 29.

With all enemies? So, when fighters are in contact with non-auxiliary craft, they negate their stealth, too?

 

[Right Hand of God]

when fighters are in contact with capitol ships they negate the ship's stealth. When dogfighting other fighters they negate stealth. AF on on capitol ships or fighters negates stealth and dodge. Basically if you are shooting and not in base to base contact you will get your stealth bonus, if it's base to base, dogfighting or AF fire you do not get stealth

Now all I need to do is put very small bases in all my Minbari

 

[Lord David the Denied]

Half a dozen tiny bases so it doesn't fall over, and designate one as the actual location of the ship... :wink:

 

[Burger]

Great idea!
Or just mount it on wire legs instead... no base

 

[Arch Lector Petrovski]

Yeah, but imagine trying to balance it near the edge of the board on rather unstable tiny bases or wire legs. You could have a real 'explosion' on your hands.

 

[darknight]

you know, i reckon if you try hard enough, 2 oposite pole iriduim magnets, one on the ship and one on the tabe, the ship will just float, and technicaly no base at all :lol:

 

[Arch Lector Petrovski]

Possibly edging towards the insane here, just a little. :?

That and it would be really precariously balanced. Possibly even more so than the wire legs concept; very War of The Worlds though.

2 of the same pole, you mean

 

[darknight]

yep thats it

 

[Lord David the Denied]

Make the table out of a giant electromagnet and mount magnets in the lower hull of the models, so they repel the table and float. That's brilliant... :lol:

 

[Arch Lector Petrovski]

Considering some of the comments about the weight of the Armageddon level ships if you have enough of them there they might push the table down and collapse it. :lol:

You'll have to add a warning to the side of the table. 'If you have a pace-maker please do not stand too close.'

 

[Burger]

We could always get Magneto to levitate the ships for us.

 

[Arch Lector Petrovski]

That could work, as long as someone doesn't say something to irritate him otherwise your lovely fleet might suddenly become metallic dust or a collection of molten puddles of shimmering metal. :lol:
