Jon,
Perhaps I have fallen in with the wrong kind of crowd.
The only tactic I have seen used is the 'one salvo- all or nothing'
firing. Keep the missiles bunched together, its a sure kill if
they hit.
This leads to a certain amount of distain on my part.
The people I game with do not play in a limited area, we will
slide the mat or use another if necessary. I will normally
enguage at speed 20 and try to be broadside at a range of 15
to 25 inches when things get interesting. All of my capital
combat ships (In the current campaign) are thrust 5. (Cruisers
are thrust 6, and escorts are thrust 8)
I am defending and must choose my enguagements rather
carefully.
I quite often play on the short side of the point scale
and so being defeated is not new to me, I just try to make it
Reeeaaalllly difficult on the other side.
Bye for now, the real world is calling.
