Fleet Combat

Fleet Action Rule Alpha 0.1

Basic Rolling

Imitative and Movement

Init Rolls: Squadron Init plus Admiral Command Values

Declare actions from lowest rank to highest rank, highest rank moves first.

Ships move then cease moving in the hex when they are firing.

Attack and Defense

IS d10s worth of Attack Value plus Admiral Vale >= 7 to represent a hit

Each point of DV value is the number of success need to be beat to score a hit

Each Attack still reduces next attack DV by 1 represent onslaught. If it the attack succeeds subtract the damage of the fleet vs enemy fleet hp. If the attack is critical success 5 or more success it does double damage.

Ships have not come under attack (either successful or failed) gain a increasing +1 modifer to their dice roll to represent gunnery crews bracketing targets without having to do major course corrections, per turn unmolested. That bonus is lost when they come under attack.

Fleet Integrity

Fleet Integrity runs a track from 20-1

Each time a fleet/squadron gets successful attack it loses a point of integrity

If it takes catastrophic damage (like 10-25 percent lose in a single turn it rolls 1d10 to see how disrupted it becomes)

At half integrity it takes double damage, at quarter it rolls d10 each turn and if it doesn't succeed a moral check it routs.

"An admiral can spend a turn in defensive mode to reform the fleet lines (no attack no movement) to restore it to 20.
