Battle Cry

If this system prove to be fatally flawed I reserve the right to change it.

Ship Formation

Determines bonus to passive defenses if your on the same tile.

Vanguard

Central +1 defense

Rearguard +2 defense

Combat Rules

Ship captains roll their Command Values plus ship Init value (command cruisers give bonus to all ships in the fleet)

Init is rolled again every 5 turns, if ship enters range a reaction shot of who shoots first is rolled via command

Ships move and fire or fire and move, if you want to move fire and then move again, requires a command roll.

GM attack is Attack Value(AV)-(AA value)

Lasers attack AV-(ECM)

Each hit reduces the shield by one

Requires 2 success to destroy a single piece of armor

Tentative rules patch: Ships may focus fire on single target equal up to the overall squadron commander rating. Each time a ship targeted and fired by enemy after that it raises the target number to hit (IC explanation bendy beam interfere with each other)

ECM degradation

ECM Takes penalty of -1@5 -2@4 -3@3 -4@2 -5@5

Stances

Ship commander can order a ship stance for single turn

Full attack: double weapons but half shield

Fire spinal cannon:

Full defense: double shields but half weapons

Rebubble: Restore shield power. Half restored right away, and the full value start of next turn (minus any new damage on it while its being rebubbled)

Stats

Guided Missiles: Unlimited range, limited ammo (most imperial ships carry three reloads)

Anti-Ship Lasers: Primary anti-ship weapon. Unlimited ammo, range 7, these are bendy beams.

Anti-Air: Shoots down fighters/bombers/AWACs, Missiles

Antimatter Cannon: Fires bolts of suspended Anti-Matter, range 1-3, destroys both armor and hp on the same damage roll on unshielded hulls

Lances: High power lasers that have range 0-1, ignores shields, murderously effective in destroying armor.

ECM: Electronics warfare makes it harder to hit you

Siege/Spinal cannon: 5 accuracy, 30 damage to armor/shields if hit. (Recharge 8 turns) Single shot weapon seen specialized anti-fortress ships and occasionally battleships (TN6 Dreadnoughts, 7 Battleships, 8 Cruisers)

Shields:

Armor:

HP: At 1/2 HP, you halved in efficiency in everything, similar affect at 1/4
