NSL vs KV, was Re: [Ft} OU & IC & FB3

1 Der Theuerdank CVH and 11 Walburg/M DDs?
Try to swarm the KV with missiles to use up scatterpacks and allow the
fighters to clean up?

Works better with a modified Walburg/M:

Walburg/MW (Wolf Pack) class Destroyer
Brian Bell Tech: Human (FB) Govt: NSL Mass: 30 Cost: 102 Clas: Destroyer (DD)
Strm: None FTL: Std.
MD:   4
Armr: 1 Hull: 9 (Military)
Damg: 3/2/2/2
Crew: 2 Sens: Std. Systems
  1 x FCS
  1 x PDS
2 x Salvo Missile Rack (FP,F,FS)
  1 x Class-1 beam (All)
Notes:
  Designed to maximize first strike, the Walburg/M is designed to
attack in groups, releasing all of their missiles at the same time to
overwhelm the opposition's defenses.

And for those interested, here is my interpretation of Los' Kolh
(Walburg/M variant):

Walburg/MK (Kohl) class Destroyer
Brian Bell Tech: Human (FB) Govt: NSL Mass: 30 Cost: 124 Clas: Destroyer (DD)
Strm: None FTL: Std.
MD:   4
Armr: 0 Hull: 9 (Military)
Damg: 3/2/2/2
Crew: 2 Sens: Std. Systems
  1 x FCS
1 x Salvo Missile Launcher (FP,F,FS) 1 x Salvo Missile Magazine (2 Std.
Salvos) 1 x Cloaking Field
  1 x Class-1 beam (All)
Notes: Designed for surveillance and surprise attack the Kohl variant replaces
both armor and the PDS system for a cloaking generator. Taken from description
of the Kohl in Carlos 'Los Lourenco's "Rot Hafen".

Often works, but watch out for two things:

* KV that split up and make high-speed feints from multiple directions.
It's a gamble for the KV, of course - if the NSL ships turn to face the
one group which presses its attack instead of breaking off, the KV will get
hurt too. If the NSL get it wrong, OTOH...

* KV that stay in the 24-30mu range band. K-guns outgun B3-3s at this
range, and the lesser NSL beams are too short-ranged - all in all the
KV have the advantage at this range, and if the NSL have speed 0 it'll take
them a while to do anything about it.

Another thing to try is to split the NSL force up into 2-3 squadrons,
and use them to cover each others' rear arcs. You'll need some thrust-4
ships to do this, though.
