After the Fall - Marine Nationale (6)

[fcharton]

Nitpicking too... If we're under the Troisième Empire, and the French want to imitate Napoléon, their navy should probably be named "Marine Impériale", as it were during the first and second empire.

These ships ought to trounce the Japs the moment the carriers are spotted.  They might lose a lot to the fighters (especially as they'll have a hard time spotting them,) but the carriers themselves will almost certainly go down.

[Brainsucker]

Well, don't worry about that. Because if that happen, then the Imperial Japan will have an excuse to develop a better Carrier and fighters in the run. Make a perfect ship at the beginning of the game will kill the fun. Specially kill the fun of being lose of many ships in a battle.

I think it is the time for Steve to start the game. Bad design is ok, because they are just starting units. The factions can develop newer and better version of their ships later.

are named after Ships of the Line from the time of Emperor Napoleon I.

Because *those* worked out so well for them....

Everything can be solved by throwing more money at it. So it might work out.

If the French attack first any Japanese advantage would be null, I reckon the French bight be the USSR of this game.

Maybe the France will have a new Napoleon, who know? a space warfare genius who will rule over the galaxy?

It won't account for anything, because Spain will have St. James himself riding with their space cavalry. Santiago y cierra España!

Is St. James the patron saint of meson cannons?

Is St.  James the patron saint of meson cannons?

Nope, just of Spain and killing Moors.   St.  Barbara is tied to lightning and serves as the saint of artillerymen (and miners, gunsmiths, military engineers, and mathematicians), though.

The bucentaure is quite an impressive design (most capital ship would be disabled after a single salvo i suppose), but he lacks some anti missile coverage to accompany while "charging" through the no man's land.  Both escort ships have a top speed of 4000km/s.  So i feel it's a little bit difficult to use them offensively.
