30 sag fleet you say?!

30 Sags eh? All that lovely hull 4..... packed onto one table..... /plonks down 15 Dag'Kars......

(actually that might be one I have to try sometime, especially if I squadron all the Dag'Kars as much as possible they may not get any crits but if they all fire in the same area thats gonna do an obscene amount of standard damage to hull 4 targets....

(sadly I dont think I'll be able to go which is a shame as this sounds very very cool )

Actually doing the maths, and given normal deployment zones I could probably get about 3 of those 3 sags in one blast I reckon, and the turn one volley would be 240 E-Mines, say split that into 3 80 Emine Volleys each blasting about 3 ships, against hull 4 scoring 40 hits each of which about 33 hits would do damage. So thats 9 Sags dead on turn 1. And almost certainly another 2 or 3 would die to torpedoe fire. Now admittedly they would fire back with 180 (probably flash) missiles against the hull 4 interceptorless Dag'Kars scoring on average 150 hits which is to say 300 points of damage before you factor in crits (which assuming average rolls they should get FIFTY of....) so that would kill, not including crits about 10 of the 15 Dag'Kars, including crits I suspect theyd be wiped out....

Actually on reflection I think I'll go get my sledgehammer too

edit: Damn just realised I was counting the flash missiles in the example above as SAP so they would in fact score only 120 hits ie 240 dmg + 40 crits. Id still expect to lose the entire Dag'Kar fleet to be honest....

I reckon a Lordship could take out 30 Sag's.
Are ancients allowed in the tourney, since one can be bought for 4 War points? :twisted:

 

[Wing Commander]

I wouldn't see any reason why not, you would be down a Warpoint however as they have absolutely nothing else they can field.... Might be a bit of a laugh though watching whole fleets crashing against the Might of the Ancients. Would make for one hell of a game.

 

[H]

ok, I signed up onthe forum as Drakh. Question is, can my raiders dodge enough of those sag missiles?!

 

[katadder]

hoping to be there, think will have my centauri with an adira just for the hell of it

 

[Tank]

I'll be there too

 

[darkstar]
