Thoughts on the KOB Subs

[Last Rites]

Been playing with the idea of padding my FSA fleet with some subs from the KOB. Anyone ever use/encounter them? If so what were your thoughts?

Also thinking of picking up the EIMC to add a lil corporate flavor.

I'm afraid I can't really comment on either, as I haven't fought with or against any!  However, I think the new British submarines (there's a Large, a new version of the Medium, and even a small, apparently!) could be a pretty cool and fluffy backup fleet.  Which size class were you thinking of adding?

With the EIMC, I'd love to know how the Sustained Fire rule works out for you

The KoB are pretty under-represented at my FLGS...only seen them on the table once, and the guy didn't have the subs.  So I can't comment either.  I've had to weather the sustained fire of the EIMC, however, and it truly is a pain.

I had a similar thought about the EIMC.  Am thinking about picking up the KoB and EIMC and running a hybrid fleet.  The ships look good, and the Forbes-class blimp looks awesome.

Leaning towards the new sub box, McNicol, that way I could cover all class sizes.. I want to do something like what landlubber said, by running a hybrid alliance fleet. With the departure of our EotBS player to the AF, I'm stuck with facing the French, Ottomans and Italians. So far have run a few games where the FSA is running supplies through the Med, and really want to expand on the fluff of that theater. May start by just getting a few of the new Vanguards to "test the waters"...sorry couldn't help myself
