yep Navy comes first lol, going out on work ups but will let you know if i get a break at some point for a game, we still need to decide a winner since we've both won one lost one. I dont suppose you've found somewhere in the area to play? I'm sure the new players will have a blast 
and cant wait to see the pictures. Will post when im planning to be back in the Fredericksberg area if anyone would like a game, its gonna be a weekend since i work all week.

No worries. We did end up playing a couple games. We will be at the vault again this coming Tuesday should you get the chance to come. Haven't registered for the 28th yet because I'm not sure what's going on with my ship yet. Once I know what's going on I will register. Am sad I missed the last tournament but hope I can make this one. If I am able to I know that Steve has agreed to be my partner so it will be a CoA/KoB alliance.

Dystopian Wars / Re: How do the different factions play?
« on: April 20, 2012, 11:07:50 pm »
I primarily play as the Kingdom of Britannia but i have played against the other factions enough to have an idea as to their play style. I'm sure other people can add to the below list.
Kingdom of Britannia- Torpedoes as far as the eyes can see. Pretty much every naval vessel is armed with large numbers of torpedoes which work from range bands 4 - 2. The Brits work by firing torpedoes from far off until their optimum range of range band 2. However, once the enemy is in range band 1 the Brits only have their turrets to rely on which are relatively weak compared to the other factions. Thus torpedoes are the main stay of the British arsenal but they are fired in fixed channel which can lead to some interesting maneuvering in order to line up a shot. The up side is that torpedoes can still fire at full strength even when the ships start taking hull damage. In addition the medium and large naval vessels of the KoB have access to shield generators which allow them to tank damage.
Empire of the Blazing Sun- Rockets. Like the Brits, the Empire has a weapon system that can still fire at full strength even after taking hull damage. The bonus for the Empire is that their rockets can set fire to enemy vessels upon successfully damaging the previously mentioned enemy vessel. This fire has the potential to kill enemy marines if left unfixed. The Empire can use this to their advantage as they are one of two forces that have a larger number of marines which they can use to board and capture enemy vessels. The weakness that the Empire suffers is that of a lack of shields which means that they are guaranteed to loose several ships while closing in on the enemy. However, they do have a higher movement value than every other fleet apart from the Prussians who are on par in terms of speed. Also to help allow the Empire ships to reach the enemy without sinking in a blaze of glory all ships in the fleet have a higher crit value which means that it is rarer for Empire ships to blow up after a lucky shot.
Prussia- In a lot of respects the Prussians are similar to the Empire of the Blazing sun. They have fast ships, large numbers of marines, and a distinctive lack of shielding. The only shield generators available to both of these factions are equipped to to their large vessels. Where Prussia differs from the Empire is that they don't have much in the long range fire power, but they do have have several close range options. Prussian turrets function at best at range bands 2-1 as well as their secondary weapon system, the tesla coil. This weapon usually has a lower number of attack dice but if it manage to score a point of damage then 1 marine is killed on the enemy vessel.
Federated States of America- Turrets! The FSA have the best turrets in the game when it comes to long range fire power. At range band 4 the large FSA ships can throw out a superior amount of fire power which allows them damage and destroy enemy ships as they close the distance. In addition to this the FSA have a DR which is one point higher than all of the other fleets and helps the FSA ships to avoid damage. On a personal note this can be very frustrating since i have lost track of the number of times that i have scored just enough hits that would normally guarantee a point of damage on any other fleet than the FSA but due to their higher DR i fail to cause any damage what so ever.
Covenant of Antarctica- An interesting fleet, they have a large number of shield generator equipped vessels which also have the MAR of Inventive Scientists which allow the CoA to reroll one of their shield generator dice. This allows CoA to tank a lot of damage as they close the distance between themselves and the enemy fleet. The CoA primarily relies on turrets to damage their opponents but they also have a pretty powerful broadside on several of their ships. Personally I consider the CoA battleship to be a pocket dreadnaught due to the amount of fire power it can unleash. Also of note is the CoA particle cannon which is equipped to their dreadnaught and battleship. The particle cannon fires at 12 inches and has the ability to hit not only the ship it is aimed at but also any ship that is in a line directly behind the intended target be it friend or foe.
The Republic of France- I have only played against this force twice so i am not well versed in its tactics. From what i have seen they are a mid range force like the KoB but without shield generators to protect them against incoming fire. To compensate for this several of their ships have the retardant armour MAR which cancels out the first exploding dice 6 which is rolled against it. The French also have several ships which can hover just above the surface of both land and sea. The French battle ship is cheaper than any of the other factions but does not appear to be as heavily armed either.
Hopefully this brief description is of some use.
