Amiral X

I fully agree wich strategos. I would prefer that Spartan give an Attachement (Large/massive 1) to Toulon, in order to provide the fire power against very hard targets (double shielded dreads or ablative armored russian dread) the french fleet misses so much. A squadron with 1 Magenta + 1 Toulon, cost 240, and gives DRx3 with Heat lance combined and reinfoirced broadside... Try il !

Hi ! Russians are a very very difficult fleet for us, probably the worst ! Your problem will be to crack the ablative amor a the longuest possible range, and for that we don't have many tools... So against russian fleet i would personnaly : - Take Epaulard (in sqdr of 3) in order to crack ablative armor of cruiser at RB4, maybe instead of furieux - Take Voltaire instead of Ecuyer, because they strike better at RB 4 and are quicker in order to stay at safety range from russian fleet. Tourbillon is a good choice, can be effective on the flank to strike from distance the flank of russain fleet and turn it after. Vauban is excellent against russian. So remaining of your force looks ok ! Stay at long range from russian ! flee a lot ! strike with 360° weapon as you move away from russian ships. Use epaulard to inflict critic on cruisers to break ablative armor and strike frigate with lower rating AD. your goal wil to get ride of as many cruiser and frigate before large/massive comme close enough to fight with vauban + couronne... And when this will happen, every body will ahve to strikes back and fight for their live !!! Good luke !

Hi guys ! I give you a feed back of my gaming experience with 2 of the proposed evolutions : - Toulon in scradrons of 3 : very efficient and not unbalanced, I really think it should become a standar option. - Ecuyer as Naval Attachement 1 : that's ok, not unballanced, more or less usefull depending on opposing fleet, but give a little boost to escorted large/massive broadside with its turret in addition to AA boost I have tested an alternative option for Toulon : Naval Attachment 1 (large / massive). Even if that sounds strange, I think its a very good way to use Toulon because : - boost heat lance to x3DR with parents model ! - add a some fire power to broadside - give some AA, CC et AP reinforcement And it's give a very interesting manovering challenge for french admiral to find good formation between the toulon and escorted model in order to link/combined the heat lance and twice broadside. => Try il !
