Remember this is a BET game so don't be afraid to use inferior stuff such as inferior battle computers at times to save germ. Jihad starts looking attractive again with miniturization, as they kill fancy chaff better. More fancy chaff options than non-BET game.

"WM chaff travels too fast"... I played WM last game and IMO it's chaff doesn't always travel too fast. When the enemy (which often was wizard) plays disengage with his nasty missile boats, I was happy that my chaff moved 2 turns up just like my main beamers first round. Dreadnaught gives several options to first strike defend WM chaff from battleships.

WM likely will get his friends to focus on chaff while he focuses on DNs here.

Quote:

Engine
1 OT
4 Nexus
5 BM
2 Flux

38 init as stated verses enemy having up to 40 init with DN so perhaps change +2 super computers, -1 nexus, -1 BMC.

Counters include manipulating battleboard to get them in wrong direction, enough chaff that you don't kill it all, longer range flak that retreats such as alpha torp/colodial phaser/sapper. (BET makes latter 2 much cheaper than usual)

Battle orders can be used to get chaff retreating or holding still. If battle board distance is 7 (4 or less players), you fall one short of non-WM chaff.

Just like Wizard played in TWW, enemy here may play the disengaging missile game at times. If I were them I'd split my forces and try to steal some tech by winning a few battles (gamble lots with battle orders and suprise combinations).

...

What engines do those enemy DNs have? (Of course we all still wonder on what type of weapons and ship mass. I remember leaving slots open and using qj5 engines to get mass lower at times).
