I was wondering how they work, besides the double repair points caveat? Is there any literature out there I can download? And any tips on using them to battle Chaos and Dark Eldar?

Last year we played 3 BFG campaigns, with DE, Necrons, Imperials, and Orks.

We never were able to figure out how to incorporate the Necrons into the campaign. What does it mean for "double cost" after the campaign starts? You only buy your fleet lists at the beginning, and new ships are added based upon reserve rolls (on a 2+ you can request any ship).

We eneded up using a map-based, points value system loosely based on the rulebook campaign set. I wasn't happy with the way it played out because we always ended up with way too many ships on the rosters, and casualties were meaningless.

If you were interested in seeing how we did our campaign, I could post or send you the doc.

There used to be one tactica on the Necron, which basically is: don't brace for impact. And facing Dark Eldar is the same as Eldar, if you're using the rulebook Dark Eldar forces. Against Chaos, you should be in a good position unless they take a lot of Lances. And if they do, they'll get hammered by Dark Eldar.

If you have any other questions, let me know, and I can wrack my brains about how our campaigns went.
