RE: FT tactics vs slow ships

A good point.
Unless there is an admiral or complete agreement on objectives, two
smaller
fleets will usually not beat a unified fleet of equal points. 
One of the balancing points I plan to use in a game I will run at
GZG-ECC
will pit 4 human fleets against a Sa'Vasku fleet. The Human fleet
out-masses
the Sa'Vasku fleet. But superior SV technology combined with inter-fleet
rivalry should make it more balanced. <evil laugh>

Of course if Jon T has the Fleetbook 2 done in time, or ready for
play-test,
I could easily adapt the SV fleet. [Duck the jab in the gob]. ;-)
