Subject: (FT) Re: B-1s
We had a kid come up with a 300 mass, 60 B-1s, MD 6, battlewagon that dominated the first game. But then his main opponent was running 154 & 184 mass MD 2 WW2-style battlewagons (8-9 5-arc B-3s with some B-2s and B-1s). In another game, the salvage the derelicts scenario of Mr.Apter's, as the kid's B-1 battlewagon worked over others and tried to capture some derelicts my p-torp-armed MD6 battlewagon got behind him (we allow rear firing at any time) but at range 14-16 and peppered him with p-torps over several turns while not getting hurt at all. We find that in most turning battles (we play cinematic) that the range is usually from 15-34 once the forces have come together. And it seems to be often in the 30+ range when I'm running p-torp heavy ships. :( Glen
