edonil Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 ...huh. Apparently there's two Australian lists...both use the same starter, but different loadouts of weapons. That's kinda nifty. And...that's a lot more in that starter than I got in mine for the same price. O.o What the heck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Actually, I got it wrong. Only the gunboats have the forward facing gun, everything else has turrets. About average on speed and damage with everything... but still, should be neat as a fleet. And you've got a bunch of mini submarines as boarding craft.

Mister Monkey Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 So I assume the points is per ship and not per squadron.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Oh, I know what they did. They traded out the bombers for gunships, and you've got pocket battleships instead of a proper one. ---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ---------- Correct, points are per ship.

Mako Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 I reckon I'll leave the painting, I got the last little details on the bases sorted so the night hasn't been a total waste. And I'll get up and paint tomorrow, as well as sorting the base edging out. ---------- Post added at 03:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 AM ---------- pocket battleships?

Mister Monkey Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Thats not the attitude Mako, Gencon is weeks away, sleep is for the weak! Is that motivating enough *grin* So then Ed, if I got a starter and a Brit Air starter that would give me over 1500 points and I would never need anything again? What is the story with tiny fliers by the way? ---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ---------- You just use the bury spell on them .... *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Tiny fliers are planes, you decide what kind they are. I'm not sure what the rules are with Australia and other fleets, but 1500 points is quite a bit. The thing I will say is that some of the other types of ships, like carriers and dreadnoughts, can be a good investment. The Britannia dreadnought is a really good one.

Mister Monkey Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Do you start with a bunch of fliers? Or do you need a way to launch them? I figure start with 1500 and maybe add a carrier or something later (if I can) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Heh, frankly? Start with 500 :-P 1500 points is a lot in this game. I think for my Antarctica, that's two cruiser squadrons, a Battleship and Dreadnought with escorts, an air battleship, an air carrier, corvettes, two destroyer squads, a set of medium fliers... at that point, it's a modern naval task force! You get a squadron of fliers for free at the start of a game, but any others need a carrier. The other advantage of a carrier is refueling, plus the ability ---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ---------- ...the ability to have multiple types of plane squads. >.< Oh I'm tired.

edonil Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Heh, always glad to help with good games. I don't know what the special rules are for Australia, I only really know those for Antarctica and France. And I'll have to remember that for something, Mako. The Ability....must make use of that.
