Not really. I didn't expect Class-4's and flew too slowly. Once I got in
close to him (which I did a turn later), my other ships - heavy with
Class-2 batteries - shredded the enemies :-)

Sounds OK.

Hm... I wouldn't exactly call the WG "close up & personal" - since you
lose the screens in your front arc when you fire it, you don't want to
be
too close to massed beam batteries :-/ Besides, they're much better
against fighters and missiles from far away - even a 2-die template will
wipe out any fighter squadron it hits (each fighter takes 2D6 of damage,
and it dies after 1 point...), so the bigger the template the better :-)
