RE: ORC Fleet

G'day,

> does anyone ever actually use the alien fleets?

We've played a bit with all 3 of the FB races (I like Savasku, Derek has
a tonne of Phalons and two other local lads have sizeable Kra'Vak
fleets).

When not playing campaign games or specific scenarios we usually just
cop out and play points battles - we still use NPV as (a) I'm lazy (<g>)
and (b) we are there for fun and never usually work out who won or did
what to who (unless it's a playtest game). As for the number of points
that's usually whim of time and what is avaiable (or newly painted and
begging to see the table). Typically its about 1500-2500 points a piece,
though we can go as small as 300-400 or as high as 15000+ points each
(when we have a day to play). One fun variant is to have a single 1000
point (or whatever) ship each.

Cheers
