Thats why it's just basic things, divide 4 ships off, surround enemy, use surprise, attack flanks, focus fire. All very basic commands.

[Rolepgeek]

Not for this game (besides, how are you going to surprise someone with something the size of the death star?). For this game, basic commands means 'attack this sector' and 'defend this sector'.

[Alexandria]

Depends on the size of the planet so it is possible, but if it doesn't work it doesn't work.

Kind of pointless to have fighting in a game that allows 0 use of tactics to influence it though.

Because this is grand strategy. I played games like this before it works just fine. We are system lords and not field commanders, we care about big numbers only.

Exactly, this is a resource management game, not a turn-based strategy.

I play lots of both, trust me on this.

[Alexandria]

I know but generally they still allow at least some thought for tactics.

[Rolepgeek]

We have a fleet of Death Stars. They slag worlds by themselves. They are called Motherships. An entire planet dedicated to them can only maintain 3. And you want to try and make tactics go with these?

Only tactics I can think of that we would give is "Blow that one up first, I think their officers are on board. Maybe."

[Alexandria]

Well I did specify that they attack in groups to focus fire on 1 ship. That should be possible if nothing else.

I'll take tactics into account for fluff purposes, but yeah - grand strategy over local tactics.  It is assumed that you command the ships to the best of your ability.

Also, I've been copied into Imperial communications; if I haven't received orders from those the Emperor has given commands to yet, please send them via PM or put them in the thread.  Thanks.

Commands in Bold, please, and state the number of Ships and Armies you are using.

[Rolepgeek]

True, but I'd rather(not there but still) have every single one of the ships concentrate on one ship. Make sure they take some casualties, even if we lose.

[Alexandria]

Was designed that I'd have 3 squadrons to overwhelm 3 ships at a time. I figured it gives me the best odds.

[Iituem]

Alright, I think that's all the fleets and troops orders.  I'll start on the end of phase (Late Phase is much quicker).

[Iituem]

Can someone clarify the current disposition of Imperial Ground Forces to me?  Specifically those donated to the Imperium.

[Alexandria]

I've got 3 supplied of my own and 2 sent to gwg. Nothing in the imperial army.

[monk12]

I don't see any deployment of them by the Emperor, apart from the vague "Archons Militant have Complete Military Authority over the Defense of their various Sectors" edict. So I suppose the Archons Militant have discretion about the assignment of the donated Armies from their Sector, as I read it.
