Now I don't mean to shoot myself in the foot here (or make it any easier for you to) but i believe you may have five more points to spend, no?

Hey Tom, your fleet lists Elite Marines, but Decados doesn't get Elite upgrades, just Marauders.

Re: Campaign: Battle for Naldera
Per the campaign rules, I'm switching crew quality rolls between my Monitor and my Flagship Destroyer. So that gives me crew quality roll of 11 (Elite) on the Destroyer, and roll of 7 (Military) on the Monitor.

Re: Campaign: Battle for Naldera
Initiative:
6, 3 + 1=10
Khabir-class Light Carrier
1+4=5 military
(2) Yildugh-class Destroyers
4+2=6 military
6+6=12 (w00t!) elite
Sheerkur-class Galliot
2+4=6 military
(3) Qawwas-class Frigates
4+4=8 military
3+6=9 veteran
2+6=8 military
(2) Mujahidin-class Raiders
4+6=10 veteran
5+6=11 elite
Note: for my one roll-swap, I will make a second elite Destroyer, and the Raider becomes military.

Re: Campaign: Battle for Naldera
Lance, I think your fleet has a +2 modifier to initiative. + 1 for your faction and an additional +1 for the Command trait on your carrier. It doesn't matter this time because you still won the roll, but fyi.

Re: Campaign: Battle for Naldera
My Light Carrier does have the Command +1 trait, but would that work for the campaign initiative roll, or just for individual battles that it participates in?
(Wonder if I should make my carrier Elite instead of another one of the Destroyers? Don't know the rules well enough to judge yet...)

Re: Campaign: Battle for Naldera
My thought was that the Command trait would add to turn initiative also. The description of the Command special ability is this:
"A ship with this trait is equipped with advanced communications systems and is usually crewed by high-ranking officers who use it as a flagship, dictating the actions of an entire fleet. So long as the ship is on the table and not Crippled, the owning player gins an extra bonus to his initiaitve equal to the Command score. This is not cumulative and may not be added to the bonus granted by other ships with the Command trait."
In the Campaign section on Initiative, it says:
"As with the main game, Initiative is rolled for by using 2d6 and applying the player's fleet modifier, as detailed in the Fleet Lists chapter."
I think you should add the Command bonus to your turn initiative because your Carrier is providing communications and coordination for your entire fleet.

Re: Campaign: Battle for Naldera
I disagree. I think it's pretty clear that the campaign section specifically to the fleet initiative modifier, not modifiers for the different ships. I think the fleet modifier is exactly that - the modifier listed for your fleet, not the more generic "here's the bonus for all my ships in my armada". Otherwise you'd also be pulling in the scout rules for re-rolling init checks, and I dont think that is the case either.

Re: Campaign: Battle for Naldera
Hmm, that's a good point. I hadn't though of the implication of adding ship abilities like Scout into the mix. So it will be straight 2d6 plus faction modifier for campaign turn initiative, and ship traits will count in actual battle turn initiatives.NukeHavoc wrote:I disagree.

While we're discussing, I was assuming that adding the Scout ability through psychic/theurgic powers would NOT allow you to re-roll battle turn initiatives because you have to take an action to activate the power, it's not always on. Does everyone agree with that interpretation?
