90TOTAL: 1990The main idea is to represent a WW2 combined arms fleet. Long range firepower with some carriers & torpedoes.
The Lances and Nova cannons (I don't like to deploy more than 2, I think is a bit abusive) of the Apoc; Geddon and Mars may force the enemy to do evasive manuevers, brace for impact or rush to close range (depending of the fleet and tactics).
Dictators, Geddon and Gothics can launch a nice torpedoe salvo whilst bomber squadrons fly to attack the enemy ships.
I'll squadron the Gothics and try to flank the enemy, I've tried this tactic before and they're deadly if they catch a vessel at close range.
The escorts are only to prevent attacks from enemy escorts or deliver the
coup de grace to crippled or badly damaged capital ships.
What do you think about the list and the tactic? Right? More guns? More craft?
My main fleet has always been Space Marines so I've been used to look for close range combat and boarding, otherwise my old Imperial Fleet is a typical torpedo massive wave. I've less experience with long range combat and craft raids.
I'd like to read the opinion of more experienced Imperial Admirals.
