Re: [FT\DS2] Fleet and Army sizes for games

About Stiltman's fighter houserules:

IME the morale rules drop the combat power of fighters by about as much
as 40% extra casualties would if the morale rules are not used; based
on "roughly vanilla FB1" PDS levels and fighter densities.

Not using the squadron rules increases fighter casualties. If the
defender uses scatterguns or SV Interceptor pods exclusively the
fighter casualties go up by about 30%; if OTOH the defender relies
mainly on PDSs (or other weapons which use the PDS or weaker mechanics)
it only adds about 10% casualties.

So, well... Yes, Stiltman's non-use of the fighter squadron rules goes
some way towards balancing his non-use of the fighter morale rules; but
even if you load up on scatterguns it doesn't go all the way.
