Sleeping In light Tournament Questions

[Da Boss]

Please list any questions that need answering in this thread - but perhaps restrict discussion to the other thread I will also start...............

lets start the ball off with...................

Hyperspace Reinforcements:

On whose Initaitive do they act
Do they benefit from their allies Scouting etc rolls
Can you fire into a dogfight between your ally and the other player
Does Command work with only your own ships / iniative or can a commandship jumping in boost the allies Iniative?

1. Your allies'.
2. Yes.
3. No.
4. Yes, it can.

Basically, assume it is an addition to the existing fleet.

A. Only 2 ships worth of reinforcements can be sent to each table... is that 2 ships per side? Or 2 total? (If 2 Shadow ships jump in to one table there is little point continuing the game, unless there is still a chance for some Vorlons to come and help!)

B. If I supply reinforcements and help an ally to win, do my ships get XP's for winning that battle too? Or do I only get XPs for winning my fight?

C. If I finish my game early and send reinforcements to another table, and that game ends quickly too, can I then send reinforcements to another table afterwards?

 

[MongooseMatt]

A. Two per side.

B. Only your fight.

C. No, you can only reinforce one fight.

On the same topic, when a ship jumps in and becomes a part of your allies fleet for initiative purposes, is it still controlled by you or do you give command to your ally? I would much prefer to control my own ship.

 

[katadder]

you will control your own ships.

 

[Da Boss]

With revised Space Station rules appearing in P+P can you

a) have a Space Station in your fleet list
b) if so do they count as one of your 8 ships

Fighters.

The pack states that ships are completley repaired / repalced after each scenario - Does this include their fighter compliment?

Are independant fighter wings also replenished to full strength in the same way (if not why not?)?

thanks

 

[MongooseMatt]

No space stations in the game and yes, all fighters are replenished.

 

[Chandler]

I was wondering whether since the tournament will be using P&P rules will people be allowed to use army of light fleets?

Also will P&P be out a few weeks before the tournament?

 

[Chandler]

As well as the two questions above I was also wondering if when ships jump to other tables does the jumping player decide where to open the portal and can they jump point bomb?

 

[KennyBoy]

Now, we're going with the assumption that Drakh don't have the 8 ship limit, but do they have any limit at all in regard to ship numbers... i'm thinking about the 5 Ma'Cu carrying a combo of 20 Raiders/Scouts!!! :twisted:

 

[KennyBoy]

I hasten to add that this is not my fleet selection, I'm taking the new and "improved" :wink: ISA. I'm just thinking about the "Bens" out there :roll:

 

[Burger]

Drakh can't take 5 Ma'Cu, due to the rule about 4 ships of raid or below PL. They can however, take 4 Ma'Cu, a light cruiser, raider and a 2 scouts. But I think the scenarios might not favour that fleet... ambush or blockade run, hah!

 

[Chandler]

So does anyone know if Army of Light fleets and jump point bombing can be used?

 

[Burger]

If it's in P&P and not a space station, there is no reason to assume it can't be used.

 

[Triggy]

I hasten to add that this is not my fleet selection, I'm taking the new and "improved" :wink: ISA. I'm just thinking about the "Bens" out there :roll:

Hey, Ben's taking my Vorlons and although they're a decent fleet, you can't "break" them as such!

 

[KennyBoy]

Well, I only use ben as the yardstick for which cheese is measured Gaim merc fleet anyone?

 

[lastbesthope]

I'm also taking ISA< but I haven't seen the improvements yet.

LBH

 

[Da Boss]

any chance of moving these bits (and deleting this comment) to the discussion page LBH as there is less chance of getting answers?

thanks

 

[KennyBoy]

I know that Shadows and Drakh are automatically sided with Chaos - but what about their Centauri lapdogs?
