Ok so I am currently reading the Rulebook and Im not sure about the units that are not in there (as I have no Idea what they do) so this is a 1250pt list of Navy using what is in the Rulebook. I play against the PE at also Navy so I need help with what helps and what does not (currently we are playing Battle Box but we both recently got new stuff a got some bastion class escorts and a dreadnought and my opponent got a Metzger and a fleet carrier).

1250pts

Courrier/Large:

Majesty Class Dreadnought
(2) Shield Generators

Small:

(3) Bastion class escorts
(3) Bastion class escorts

(3) Attack class frigates
(2) Attack class frigates

Medium:

(3) Doncaster class bombers

(3) Vanguard subs

(3) Tribal Class Cruisers

Any Help appreciated

Cheers to all comments.

Id go for another Large. Dreadnoughts are nice, but one on its own will suffer from Bismark syndrome especially if he rolls to take down your larges. So a battleship may be a good choice.

I see two units of escorts but im not sure what the second unit is attached to? Escorts dont work like normal ships, think of them as being part of a unit with your large. One set of three with that dreadnought are fine, unless you take another large that second Escort set cant be used.

The frigates are good, but get them up to full strength squads of 4. Seriously a 3 and a 2 won't last long, and will cost you the game if he rolls to take down your smalls.

Your mediums are fine, the Tribals are always a good choice but you should look into gunships some time too. Doncasters are...okay? KoB air is kind of lackluster all round, so dont expect miracles from these guys. The vangaurds are....a "fun" choice. People will tell you how bad they are and they ARE in a fashion, but they're more like one of those things if you like them you use them anyway. Still fun to use as subs can help your opponent dedicate their fire in a way they don't want.

Hope this helps!
