Minbari

To beat up a 4 Battle points Minbari Fleet I'd suggest an ISA fleet with

6 White Star I
8 Blue Stars

I can guaranty a hard time to your oponent whatever his fleet is made of.
He'll have to deal with 6 scouts capable of getting close to him very quickly and whith a heavy firepower.

OK, I take 4 Morshin and camp in an asteoid field. Whatcha gonna do now except explode, fighter-fodder?

that sounds like fun....

 

[Shadow Queen]

Ill take 1 Sharlin and 2 Morshin

 

[H]

I'll take 8 dag kars instead of the ISA fleet

 

[Da Boss]

Take a Leshath with a ISA fleet and argue about how best to interpret the Stealth rules.............. :wink:

I'd take 2 Takata-Class Mine Cruisers.

Just sit back and launch 32 AD of DD Energy Mines per turn, watch the Minbari play almost cry as you by pass his stealth and do so with a lot of DD AD, they may not be able to get any Criticals, but Minbari ships aren't know for their ability to take damage. Where as the Takatas are bricks in space.

That won't do much against my 2x Neshatan

Against Neshatan I'd switch to 2 Tashkat-Class Advanced Cruisers. They have one hell of a Beam weapon, and the Neshatan has a low steath roll, It'd make for a good game.

 

[H]

have one of each. the Takata mines will reduce the stealth roll for when the Tashkat fires. as long as it lives

 

[Burger]

Ah, the original post was a fleet to take all Minbari comers... so I am allowed to choose my fleet after you

 

[Alexb83]

Heh, I take it from the post above that e-mines that aren't centred on a ship still count as a successful targetting of the ship for lowering stealth?

Stupid bloody rules.

 

[Burger]

Yep, e-mines give the +1 bonus to breaking stealth...

 

[H]

to try and rationalise it, the targeting comp is locking onto the blast impact upon the hull. . .

 

[Alexb83]

Do they need to make a stealth roll to fire the weapon at the ship in the first instance?

 

[H]

no, because they are not firing at the ship. they fire at a pre determined location in space

 

[Shadow Queen]

do they need LOS to fire IE: 1 ship behind a planet the shooting ship 30 inches away with no LOS

 

[Burger]

Emines need LOS to the impact point. Not necessarily to the ships that will be hit...
