Re: [FT] AAR -- Cygnus Fleet Proving Exercise

For the record, Fleet Random Effect had 10 Class 6 beams and 2 class 5
beams
all told. My thanks to Brian and the other players for a long and
enjoyable
game. One lesson I take away from the Cygnus game is the power of
superior
range in Vector games (another reason I'm happy vector is optional
rather
than standard). I don't think my fleet would have fared nearly as well
in a
Cinematic game (even with a 3-arc redesign). My fleet would also have
not
done well with a lower total point value. The _massed_ class 6's were
essential to do any kind of significant damage at ranges above 48".
