Re: Fighters....Re: Full Thrust vs Starmada

*drops out of lurk-cloak*

Yeah, I was just about to say... 6000 points and only 30 fighters?  I 
haven't played the game for a good couple of years or more, but in my
old 
5000 point games, 30 fighters was not usually enough to break through
the 
standard defenses we'd become accustomed to using unless you backed it
up 
with heavy doses of plasma bolts as well.
