However, it would be interesting and make use of the two most popular empires in the SFU.


I've suggest folks try out the (603.UC) Sector C: Northern Klingon-Federation Front from CL 41. Its "small" but gives folks the chance to roll with the Klingons versus the Federation with a Yesterday's Enterprise feeling to it. Smile

I've been meaning to write this for ages. The idea is it's technically the Fed-Klingon war without the Organians stopping it. The backstory is that this is the Star Fleet wargames of the situation that they ran for the next decade (and includes a few variants of ideas they tried out like early carrier ops).

The title is to be "Federation vs Empire".

Did the training PDF ever get released? I'm finally setting up F&E for a test spin.

Short version: The mauler basically does double-damage when using Directed Damage to target a specific ship.

As you may know, the defender allocates the damage done to his fleet as he wants, but the attacker does have the option to pick one ship and force damage on it.

Let's say you did 22 points of damage to a fleet that includes a CC, which is a 9-point ship. The defender can spend 9 points and cripple it, but obviously he want to save it, so he cripples a bunch of frigates instead.

You can say you want to DirDam that CC, but it costs double, or 18 points, leaving 4 points for the defender to deal with. However, you have a 7-point mauler in your fleet. You can use its 7 points at 1:1, taking the 9 point CC down to 2 points, and then spend 4 more points to finish the job. You spent 11 points and still have 11 left over. You have enough to kill the now-crippled CC for ten more points, or you can let the defender figure out what to do with the 11 points.

Makes sense???

And no, the BCJ is not a mauler.

Okay Maulers I understand but why is the BCJ so phebal on the Offensive Compat? Does it have a special attack?

I don't have rulebooks handy, but looking at the Ship Information Table (SIT), the BCJ has a full attack rating of 11, but it can drop down to a 9 and have no risk of shock.

You do know where to look for the SITs, right?
