Old Posts (2): Updated Adm Brown

I was fairly interested in making interesting low end warships ca. 10 years back. All these horribly beweaponed behemoths probably never featured much in anyones games. If Suffren or Bismarck turns up your players aren't outfighting it. The low end seemed to offer more interesting possibilities. I was also playing with Attack Vector at the time, and it shows. Must get back to AV....

Admiral Brown V class ?fighter?*

The Adm Brown class has been through numerous changes.Indeed its century of service see the Browns beingessentially a completely different ship, certainly thecurrent Mk V is so radically different that refittingolder ships to it is impossible to refit them to thecurrent standard. Despite this, some older models docontinue in Argentine service due to lack of resourcesto replace them.

The Adm Brown is typical of Argentina?s model of aspaceforce, which draws heavily upon submarine serviceand airforce traditions. This medium sized vessel isfairly fast, and carries heavy hull weapons, and alarge missile complement (sing the extremely smalldrive EM-5 series missiles which use minimal amountsof tantalum). As usual for Argentina, the weaponssystems stress a small number of high damage pulses,and indeed, in combat Brazilian starships often findtheir armour offers them no effective protection.

Indeed, the main Brazilian response to Argentinetactics of massing fair large ?wolf packs? of smaller
but deadly vessels has been to disperse their combatpower even more. Starfighters have become more
important in the Brazilian orbat.

Argentina is excellent at concealing ship numbers andlocations. Given their strategic disadvantages, they
have acquitted themselves extremely well.
