Japanese Fleet

Well, as promised, here are the concepts for his Japanese Fleet, based on his
knowledge of WW2 Japanese ships, and on the minis itself.

According to it, Japanese ships were a bit bigger than their US counterparts.
Ship under the BB category were relatively defenceless. They liked to use the
„long spear”(?) torpedoes, and battleships had large batteries, and strong
air defence.

IMPORTANT: These designs are no way official, and not intended to challenge
any copyrights or rights Ground Zero Games hold. They are
stricktly for gaming and game-theory purposes. (Hope that’s
sufficiant).

Designs are still under consideration and refinment, and are based on the Full
Thrust Fleet Book 1 design system and were tested under Vector System.

Shinobi class scoutship: Mass 10: Hull 3, FTL Drive, Drive 8, 2 PDS

Kamikaze class strikeboat: Mass 10: Hull 3, FTL Drive, Drive 6, FCS, 2
Submunitions pack

Tone class battlecruiser:
Mass 98: Hull 29, Armour 5, FTL Drive, Drive 4, 3 FCS, ADFC, 1 all-arc
battery lvl 2, 2 3-arc battery lvl 2, 2 5-arc battery lvl 3, 8 PDS

Kongo class battleship:
Mass 120: Hull 32, Armour 6, FTL Drive, Drive 4, 3 FCS, 1 all-arc
battery
lvl 2, 2 3-arc battery lvl 2, 2 3-arc battery lvl 3, 2 1-arc battery lvl

I stop typing now – they are in SSDs in GIF format, so if someone is curious
about them, I’d be happy to post them. Or post them later.
