Midlands Maelstrom Lists

[LukeR]

You've picked the right battleship fitz I think you could upgrade the admeral in the second list to lvl five as you've got the points which makes it automatically better IMO. However the first list seems better for the way that the groups sit.
I'm not sure about the SR4 pathfinder group I personally perfer groups of similar frigates but havn't tried a group like that. Does it work well?

My own list is totally different Im testing running several crusier squadrons, with zero launch and no strike carriers just troopships.

Stuff I've seen online is you use the andromedas as kind of terriers. Get them behind the enemy battle line with a couple of max thrust moves and use the bombers to pick off hull points and possibly cause the enemy fleet to either ignore or turn round to deal with them.

Agree that the Minos is the better Battleship, I've faced both and the Heracles is pretty underwhelming. Plus the Minos is a more aggressive ship with the crippling close action weapons and so forces the opponent to deal with it.

SR4 seem to work for Frigate Groups, unless your opponent has a similar group you'll still likely go first. Would be interesting to see how it works, if the opponent has enough launch they'll just counter you with theirs.
