Thanks guys! ... I appreciate the support.
A friend and I setting up a small test campaign ... for those interested here is the map: -
A high resolution version can be found here: -
Hi Res MapIts a simple Chaos vs Imperial campaign with the following rules changes.
Escorts must make up 33% of the fleet, so in our campaign 660pts out of 2000.
To counter the quick death of Escorts due to Assault / hit and run tactics we are following the rules suggested over in the rules discussion forum of changing the hit chance to 4+ instead of 2+ as well as allowing a Brace for Impact against the hit (as per FAQ 2007). These changes should go a long way towards making Escorts viable again and part of the campaign will be to test this, as well as using more "Historically" realistic fleets.
Where possible the new FAQ 2010 will be used for the games and campaign.
Our first game scheduled for Thursday will be a "Fleet Engagement" at Passepatout with 1000pts of fleet each.
We are using Blue book fleets with the Torpedo Variants, Torpedo Bombers and Mine layers special rules from the Armada book.
Should be FUN!
