TheDecay Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hey guys! So I've just won a couple BFG Imperial Navy ships off Ebay for a good price and have started to think about what else I might need to buy to get up to a 1500pt list. Keep in mind I'm completely new but I've done a little research and I think this list will be decent, it's got EmperorDictator Lunar Gothic Tyrant (+10 pts for 45cm range)Dauntless x3 Swordsx3 CobrasFleet Admiral Comes to 1500 on the nose. Has 12 Launch Bays, 30 Torpedoes, and 15 Lances.Tactics wise I have no idea what I'm doing hahaI know Lances shoot after Weapon Batteries to get through the blast markers once shields are dropped and having Ordinance flying around is never a bad thing.Any advice on the list? All comments are welcome and appreciated. Thanks!

RADU LYKAN Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 My advice to any new starter in the current ebay climate of Bfg = gold is to magnetise everything where possible Anything else comes down to personal play style The site below Incase you haven't seen it yet contains links to original rules and the 2010 update plus Bfg reloaded so worth a look http://www.forum.specialist-arms.com What scheme are you thinking for your fleet?

TheDecay Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Alright! It has been a long time coming but I finally got my 1v1 game in with jae4x4 and it was aaaawesome, I think I can safely say I'm hooked on BFG! Without further adieu, some sweet ass space combat. The Lists: 1500 points The Ash Bringers Fleet: Emperor Battleship w/ Shark Assault Boats Dictator Cruiser Lunar Cruiser Gothic Cruiser Tyrant Cruiser w/ Range upgrade Dauntless Light Cruiser w/ Lances Dauntless Light Cruiser w/ Lances x3 Firestorm Escorts Opposition: Apocalypse Battleship Mars Battlecruiser Dictator Cruiser Lunar Cruiser Gothic Cruiser Tyrant Cruiser w/ Range Upgrade + Nova Cannon So coming into this I knew J out-ranged the crap out of me with 3 (!) Nova Cannons and a couple 60cm Lance batteries. I'd need first turn and I'd need to somehow split his force up so that my lighter, faster ships could sandwich his weakened line. Luckily I win the roll off and get first! Here's our deployment. http://i18.servimg.com/u/f18/19/14/75/38/deploy10.jpg J's left flank is huge! I need to split that up ASAP. My plan is to send out all my torpedoes in a huge salvo to create lanes of movement. http://i18.servimg.com/u/f18/19/14/75/38/torp_s10.jpg He takes the bait! His Lunar and Gothic move left to avoid the torpedoes and use the "Come to a New Heading" order to get 2 turns in their movement. He's going to try and kill my isolated Dictator which I was counting on. His Nova Cannons all hit...I might be in trouble...but he rolls 1's and 2's on his D6 damage results! Wooo close call, I need to close fast. http://i18.servimg.com/u/f18/19/14/75/38/escort10.jpg My escorts and Dauntless Light Cruisers shoot up the side to try and get behind J's line, they're basically paper planes so we'll see how well they do! http://i18.servimg.com/u/f18/19/14/75/38/mid_ga10.jpg Mid-game is where things always get interesting. We've set the field for battle and a blood bath ensues... I take the middle of the map and get a few pot shots off with my Starboard batteries as well as a few Bombers harassing his Cruisers. On the far side my Dictator is waiting for the right time to book it into the fight, leaving J's squad stranded in the asteroids. http://i18.servimg.com/u/f18/19/14/75/38/shit_s10.jpg Hoooly crap BFG is a show! Lmao! Shots, Torpedoes, Attack Craft, Explosions! What else could you ask for? I focus his Mars on the right to try and reduce his Attack Craft capabilities so that my Emperor can reign supreme. I end up crippling it (half of its starting hit points) which in turn halves all its attack values. Pretty good so far! In the Ordinance phase I get really lucky and cripple J's Tyrant on the left with my Bombers further reducing his Fleets fire power. In turn he cripples my Gothic...that Apocalypse is taking names with mass "Locked On" Lance batteries. To the right he all but erases my escort squadron AND a Dauntless, their pot shots will not have been in vain! http://i18.servimg.com/u/f18/19/14/75/38/kamaka10.jpg After I launch a HUGE wave of 8 Bombers, the crippled Mars takes one for the team to clear them out so the Apocalypse can keep ploughing ahead... And it lives with 1 hull point! Son of a... http://i18.servimg.com/u/f18/19/14/75/38/nearin10.jpg I finally lose the valiant Dictator, which explodes right in the middle of 3 ships lol. My last remaining Dauntless swings around to take the last point of damage off the Mars! I knew they'd do something this game lol. I also cripple the Apocalypse. J FINALLY gets his Lunar and Gothic into the fight and tries to take a few more points off me by killing the Dauntless, he fires everything into it and I BRACE FOR IMPACT... I roll three 6's! Lmao, hero Dauntless I swear. With this, we call the game. I win with about 640 points and J has around 470 I think. The Ash Bringers are victorious! Wow what a close game The subtle strategy involved in BFG's orders and movement phases, coupled with the insane mini-game that is the Ordinance phase has me hooked, love this game already.
