Why no army lists?

Guys I was thinking the other day that I never see army list threads I think the reason for this must be lack of minis. I would like to see list threads and I would also like to know what points value people play at once minis become more available.

Well i have seen some fleet lists here and there, though i think most of the time its all about tactics not what ships you have mostly. If you want to see fleet lists check out some of the postings and you will see them.

Plus you have not stated what system, to whats points value.
 
If you break ships down based on how many pts you spend vs how many weapons/hull/shields you get, they're all pretty similar within each fleet list.

The differences are sometimes speed, turning, agility, command.

I would say its pretty common to have 1-2 ships with command+1

After that, it just depends on what you want to field, I've heard some interesting things about a flank of 2-3 'fast' ships going all power to engines to get around the enemy. Then some people like to keep 2-3 'agile' ships to counter-maneuver any agile ships on the enemy fleet.

We've only gone up to 1,000 points here so far, but we dont have any big number of miniatures, we've mainly been using tokens for ships that we dont have, and those things are too easy to shuffle around on the board so we havent used many more than that for the sake of keeping a track of everything.

Good point I didn't state what system and now you are confused can we please for the love of god get a ACTA SF sub forum.
 
The NA players do tend to label the posts with an 'NA' tag - are you saying this simple consideration is beyond most SF players? :lol:
 
No I am saying its a simple thing to do and should be done and I rarely see any NA posts anyway so why not give us both an uncluttered place to discuss our games.
