Subject: [FT] Fleet Match-ups/Strategies?

My surveys brought out something else. Has anyone put together a "tactics
manual" for new players? Has anyone put together a "favourite match-ups"
list? The reason I ask is that I've recently put together my Full Thrust page
and I'm looking to add content. *S*

If such a beastie doesn't exist, I volunteer to put something like this on my
web site. All I need is some suitable expert commentary... Basically, it
should be of the form of hints and general tactics for each fleet. Particular
techniques and warnings for each fleet would be appreciated.

Again, this is only if someone hasn't already done this. I was thinking of
including cinematic and vector tactics as it's obvious that different fleets
play differently in the two movement systems.

Finally, I'd like to match up the different FB1 and FB2 fleets. For instance,
I'd like to say such-and-such a fleet is a good match against
this-other-fleet, but usually has problems with that-fleet-over-there.

Is there anything like this already?

Indy has some fleet rosters at
http://www.bcpl.net/~indy/full-thrust/fleet-rosters.html. I do not know
if he has play tested some battle groups against others or not. Indy???

I've got an outline and some diagrams done for a "tactics manual," but other
things have prevented me from working more on it. I also wanted to include
alot of list opinions.

Well, I've been actually collecting posts I see with tactical advise/
suggestions on/in them. I am planning (in my copious free time) to put
together Indy's [unofficial] GZG Tactics Manual (coming to my website in the
Real Near Future)

I guess I should just make some time and throw together what i have now, worry
about formatting it nicer later, so people can look things over and give
feedback?

For what it's worth.

Man, I wish I had time to play more!

I've played more with the destroyer/cruiser-destroyer sized flotillas
in one-offs than with the Big Fleets from my rosters. I have played
a couple of Big Fleet engagements; one of these became my scenario
