Phillip.Atcliffe says
Well, I typically buy for each of my fleets (this is numbers of
each class, not packs):

4 FF
4 DD
2 ea. CL, CE/CM, CA
1 or 2 ea. BC and BB
1 BDN
1 SDN
1 ea. CVL, CV
Enough Fighters to equip the fleet (possibly using some from a general
supply, so as long as I have enough in total, I don't necessarily care
about them being the official types).

I like this break out. It should accomadate most any scenario and should
also handle most campaign game scenarios as well. The only changed that
I'd
recommend would be to add a bit more to the mid-range (cruisers and
destroyers). Also a few commercial vessels (freighters) and a tender or
two
would be a real asset. Freighters can also double as tenders as well as
tugs.

Makes for great scenarios.

Any thoughts and critique would be welcome.

Thanks
