Hi Minbari Fleet options help needed

[Grimbart_Kriegsaxt]

Would be nice if anyone could help me a little

My girlfriend wants to play the Minbari since she is a big fan of them.

Could anyone tell me what would be a good 5 point war Minbari fleet?

We want to include at least one, better two Sharlins since she likes the ship very much and its effective i think.

 

[katadder]

5pts war? well i would go
Sharlin
Sharkaan (Sharlin variant, probably 2 of these instead of a sharlin)
Morshin
2 Teshlans (Tigara Variant)
Tinashi
Ashinata (Tinashi variant)
Leshath
Troligan
2 Tigaras

this fleet gives you beams, brawling, command and plenty of fighters.

 

[chainmailler]

it certain has plenty of beams!

 

[Grimbart_Kriegsaxt]

Thank you
Yes 5 points war, since we prefer big battles over small ones. We like to have those big ships out of the shows on the field .

 

[David Anla Shok']

Oh just go and get a pile of everything. You know you want to

2 Sharkaan
4 Shantavi
1 Ashinata
3 Leshath

LOL since she is the "collecting type" that my be true ^^...

@Burger
Why the laughing, is the fleet you suggest cheesy?

 

[Burger]

No, I don't think cheesy. Just a nice fleet IMO. Generally, those ships scare people although they wouldn't be called broken.

 

[Grimbart_Kriegsaxt]

Ah ok thanks then
Always good to have more options to look at.

 

[Lord David the Denied]

I'd personally use the Sharlin over the variants for the simple fact it's the original hull and sounds better. Sharlin just rolls off the tongue. Plus it has loads of fighters.

Teshlans and Tinashis go well with Sharlins and at 5 war you can afford plenty. That's a lot of DD, Precise, Beam pain, right there...

 

[Burger]

But Sharkaan sounds like a tiger out of the jungle book... more scary
And 36" range, you can reach out and touch someone you love very easily.

 

[Foxmeister]

I'm surprised that no one seems to be advocating the Sharoos. A DD precise beam out of every firing arc is a pretty potent combination IMHO.

Regards,

Dave

 

[Burger]

Sharoos would be good in some situations, such as facing a swarm fleet that can out-init-sink you, or playing an Ambush scenaio. But normally, and in a 5 War fleet, I'd rather have the extra ADs and fighters of a Sharlin/Sharkaan

 

[KennyBoy]

I'd take:

1 Sharlin - cos' you GOTTA have a Sharlin!
1 Sharkaan - like Burger says, 36" of Triple damage goodness!
2 Tinashi - The TL Mini-Beams can really turn a game in your favour...
1 Morshin - Lots of Nials, and a +1 Command, Fleet Carrier etc...
2 Ashinata - The best Escort in the game IMHO, also more TL Mini-Beams
2 Tigaras - Excellent "Knife Fighters"... CAF, CAF, CAF!!! :twisted:
2 Leshath - As Burger has already said "The BEST Scout out there"

Teshlans 2 dice Beam, more often that not, ends up missing completely, in my experience!

 

[akenatum]

1 sharlin
1 sharlin
2 morshin
2 leshath, 2 teshlan
2 ashinta, 1 Shantavi


lots of dogfighting goodneess, lots of skindancing fun and a fair few big scary beams not to mention good stealth and scouts to pick up other mimbari/stealth and scan them if you ever come across them.

 

[Grimbart_Kriegsaxt]

With that many fleet variants i guess we end up, with what my fello Anla Shok' wrote ^^. But its good to have so many ideas floating around to test ^^ i still have the counters of the 1st edition box so we can test.

Thanks to you all
