The whole Squadron fires its AA if any model within it is targeted. <br /><br />Another time in the battle I did point out that you target a single ship and so can concentrate on it and kill it. So no, you will not find anything like you are looking for!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369646895032210867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286298069814968533.post-42694795454372186992011-11-25T23:01:59.751-08:002011-11-25T23:01:59.751-08:00Actually any crit at all and frigates automaticall...Actually any crit at all and frigates automatically die, but your point is taken. Even so I like the idea of an all big-ship fleet (with a few token bombers and small ships to make up the requirements) and I think the odds of crit-kills are low enough not to be a problem. <br /><br />Been reading the rules this afternoon, and I cannot find any reference to firing being aimed at squadrons. It's not made explicit (they just refer to "the target") but it seems to be all firing is done on an individual ship to individual ship basis.Thanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12131215180965582008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286298069814968533.post-4241761816436583872011-11-25T19:39:15.620-08:002011-11-25T19:39:15.620-08:00Hi John,

I think that since Chris deemed it wise to park Cruisers at range and rely on rockets, then I'd tend to agree that BB should be able to see to them, given time. <br /><br />RE: frigates, they aren't super-awesome but neither would any of us be inclined to leave them out of our fleets. We've all seen them be very effective when their charge is correctly timed and yours have the added advantage of another point of AP. <br /><br />Big ships are clearly best in this game.... as long as they don't get critted. Remember that once the CR is exceeded, a Dread has the same chance as a frigate of going BOOM. <br /><br />CheersJamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369646895032210867noreply@blogger.com
