[GZG] Phalon meaness and how to beat it

At a recent game at out club one player designed a phalon fleet based
heavily on the Plasma bolt launcher.

His fleet had 4 capital units mounting multiple PBLs and a squardon of
small frigates and corvettes all mounting a class 1 PBL.

Being able to deposit about 20 PBLs to carpet the table area took the
opponent by surprise.

Massed PBLS are also very hard to kill.

We have placed a limit on the number of PBLs a ship can carry to no more
than one launcher per 50 mass of ship, otherwise you get a capital ship
with 12 size 1 PBLS that can carpet the table.

It still looked pretty mean though.

have other people done this in their game groups and what was the
consensus on a fleet based around the PBL doctrine?

Regards

John
