After a lot of advice I've decided to go with:
NAC 2 Furious CE and a Majestic BC versus
ESU 2 Gorshkov CG(?) and a Manchuria BC
There is only 4 points difference between each squadron and the squadron
tonnage is exactly equal. Now this may not mean anything in reality, but
it
will satisfy those players who want a balance.
Aside from the standard beam weaponry there is also p-torps and SM to
introduce a tactical variation. SM may be considered only for the adept
but
with a thrust factor of 4 it should be possible to place a salvo marker
in
the optimum location.
Can anyone suggest a possible best tactic for each side. To me it looks
like
long range sniping for the ESU versus the NAC getting close and vicious.
