Ork Clanz fleet as The Bait
« on: January 09, 2016, 12:12:19 AM »
An Ork player creates a list to play as the Pursued Fleet in the scenario The Bait.  The scenario says that you have 500 points, plus one other ship that is 250 points or less.  The Ork Clanz fleet forces the Ork player to take one Warlord for each 500 points or part thereof.  Which is true?

1) Because the fleet size is 500, the Ork player must take one Warlord.  The ship that is 250 points or less is a "bonus ship" and so does not obligate another Warlord purchase.

2) After creating a fleet that meets the criteria of the scenario, the total points cost would be more than 500 points.  After all, the Ork player must choose the ships from their collection and controls them during the game, and writes the ship's stats on their fleet roster.  Therefore, the Ork player must take two Warlords with all of the restrictions inherent in that selection.

I think number 2 makes more sense.
