Into these Elements go Tokens which represent tactical groups of ships. Four different

Fleets are made up of Tokens, usually representing tactical groups of 2-6 ships. Tokens come in three different categories Light, Ship of the Wall, and Capital. In addition each token has several specific characteristics: Speed, Firepower, Shock, Resilience, as well as special traits.

• Screening: In the Screening phase the Screen attempts to gather data on the enemy’s maneuvers and prevent their counterparts from doing the same. Their respective success or failure determines who, if anyone, has initiative. Engagements that have become too chaotic or frenzied (such as a general melee) may not have this phase.

• Execution: The Fleet Elements perform Actions.
• Aftermath: The results of the main action is made known.

Whenever a majority of either fleet group is not engaged such as a meeting engagement, an attempt to maneuver around an enemy, or a fighting retreat. Most of a fleet’s tokens are “off-screen”.
