Split into three wings, center left and right. Center wing should have heavier
forces with thrust mass devoted to armour. Envelope and outflank. Get close
and get really personal...

The force that I'm working on for the UBW is armed with Class-3 and
Class-2
and Pulse Torps, and a few PDS, most of the ships have a Fighter Group or two,
the Mega Carriers that the UBW has (there are only two of them) will have 12
Fighter groups and the weapons of a Valley Forge and the ESU dreadnought,
assuming that I win the fleet battle other wise it is a mute point.
