So now that we have deduced the general composition of the Imperial and Solomani fleets in Magyar during the Rim War, and fleshed out the ship classes, there’s the task of statting out the squadrons available to Kemper and Coglan for our wargame.
There is an excellent thread on Citizens of the Imperium that discusses how to translate High Guard ship statistics into game mechanics compatible with the Fifth Frontier War and Invasion Earth. Both boardgames use similar ratings for squadrons, which have three values for Attack, Bombardment, and Defense. These ratings generally range from 0 to 8; FFW also tracks TL, Jump rating, and hull type (important for refueling).
The Attack rating is determined by the number and power of spinal weapons in the squadron; Bombardment is based on the number of missile bays and fighters; Defense is based on the number and size of hulls, as well as other factors such as agility or armor. A powerful TL 14 Battle Squadron might have a rating like 6-4-6, while a cruiser squadron might have a rating like 2-0-4. Damaged squadrons have reduced ratings, so that 6-4-6 BatRon might be only 3-2-3 following a major engagement.
I used a modified method proposed by the Oz to calculate FFW squadron ratings. Since many of the basic ship statistics used in the calculations are common across various editions, it was fairly easy to pull designs from disparate sources such as T20 Fighting Ships and Fighting Ships of the Solomani Confederation as well as Fighting Ships of the Shattered Imperium, which has several older TL 13 and 14 designs. Although the Oz’s method assumed squadrons of 8 ships of the same class, I built squadrons of mixed composition similar to the detailed orders of battle provided in Fighting Ships of the Solomani.
The following unit list provides FFW ratings for all units of the Magyar campaign, as well as their initial position following the Battle of Idu.
