Subject: Japanese Fleet concept
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 Âlong spearÂ(?) 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 thatÂs 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 3, 4 PDS, 2 Pulse Torpedo Launcher. I stop typing now  they are in SSDs in GIF format, so if someone is curious about them, IÂd be happy to post them. Or post them later. Greetings, Akos Büky
