RE: FB2 Fleets (or "How I Learned to Hate the Savasku")

Good news everyone!

I just thought I'd add my two cents on this. Recently I played in a
FT tournament here in Norway. I fought my way to the finals with my
trusty
NSL fleet, squaring off against the Savasku there. I played a good
battle,
my opponent made several mistakes, including a rather big one (on which
I 
capitalized), but he still managed to beat me, even if not by much. Now,
this was a small game so my first thought was that he had an amazing
fleet
for a 1000 pt game. Four fighter groups and shitloads of firepower is
not
too bad in such a small engagement. Later, I've thought about it and it
seems to me the Savasku are really good, perhaps even overpowered.
Hearing
a playtester saying the very same thing confirms this. They require a
little book-keeping but they're not really hard to play. Oh well, I
assume there will be some sort of errata if the designers agree. Until
then I'll try my best to give the Savasku a good spanking. 

I also suspect the points concerning Kravak vs. Savasku are valid. I'm
in
the process of assembling a Kravak fleet and the Savasku will be quite a
challenge, but the fact that one race does very well against one
particular other race doesn't bother me. It's when one race is amazingly
good against most everything else that I start to worry. 

Oh well. It's not the end of the world. On another note I would like to
express my concern that certain Norwegian players *cough*Sindre*cough*
will soon have their Phalon fleets "up" and running. Woe the day that I
look across the table and see those horrid ships bearing down on me.
Btw,
do Phalons have special rules for ramming? ;-)

Have a nice day,
