Additional Vessels

This page is a work in progress!

Most vessels in a fleet will be chosen from a fleet list, and will be specifically to tailored to the fleet of an individual race. However, there are some vessels which are employed by almost all races – most commonly the smaller support and transport vessels which might be linked to a specific scenario. In most cases, such ships are fairly universal across the different races, and so a single profile and set of rules is usable by any fleet. The following pages include entries for a number of additional vessels which you can use in this manner.

Q-ships, Armed Freighters & Escort Carriers

These might be interesting additions to a Convoy scenario. You may replace regular freighters with these ships on a one-for-one basis, paying the points cost of the ship out of your own allowance; for example, if you had eight freighters, you could replace four of them with armed freighters and pay 80 points, or replace them all with armed freighters and pay 160 points.

Heavy Transports

If you want to use heavy transports just swap two ordinary transports for each heavy transport. Up to a third of the transports in your fleet may be heavy transports.
