Narn advice

[bickets]

Newbie needs advice for a 5pt battle against shadows. what do you guys suggest ?

well 1st 2 battle points really need spending on a G'vrahn as its the best narn ship out there. then you really need ships that are manouvrable for fighting the shadows.
remaining 3 battle points I would put into:
1st: Varnic, 2 Thentus
2nd: T'rann (as fighters annoy shadows), 1 Thentus, 1 Sho'kar (to try lower scouts stealth)
3rd: either 2 var'nics or a var'nic and dag'kar

No, no. What you want is 2 G'Quans, they are.... far more useful than a poxy G'Vrahn.

Oh wait, silly me! I'll get me coat!

(.... the best looking ship in the B5 universe IMHO)

katadder's suggestions are pretty much on the money. I'd personally make sure I have two Sho'Kars and one Dag'Kar for helping break Stealth on the (numerous) Scouts your opponent will take, a T'Rann, a G'Vrahn and pack out the rest with Thentus/Var'Nics.

An interesting concept would be to take hordes of Ka'Tans though - their E-mines would be deadly here, they aren't bad ships anyway and their Frazis would all help.

In fact, if you want a purely "competitive" fleet rather than a balanced one then I may be tempted to go for:

1 x Dag'Kar
2 x T'Rann
2 x Sho'Kar
11 x Ka'Tan
2 x (2) Sho'Kov

I'd expect the Shadow player to take (if there is any terrain):

1 x Shadow Ship (Young)
6 x Shadow Scout

If there is no terrain then he will probably take ten Scouts.
