Warhammer Battlefleet, ship combat

A game turn is divided into a movement phase and a shooting phase. Movement phase:

During the movement phase, ships maneuver, taking up positions for a more successful engagement. Repositioning your fleet and choosing the right position will disrupt your opponent's plans. Remember, some ships should keep their distance, while others should engage in close combat. By moving your ships, you can surround and destroy a target, hide behind planets and asteroids, evade combat with a more armed enemy, and even lure an unwary opponent into an ambush. A wise admiral can achieve all this and more during the movement phase.

The larger the ship, the slower it turns. While light frigate-type escorts are quite nimble, massive cruisers are heavy and unwieldy monsters. The time it takes a cruiser to turn is significant, and battleships take even longer to complete the maneuver. When ships move, they must move in a straight line, directly forward. However, ships may make one turn as part of their movement, unless they issue special orders that prevent them from being executed.

The ship can turn a maximum of 45° or 90°, this is included in the ship's characteristics.

A ship hidden behind an asteroid, a holographic field, or in the corona of a star receives a bonus - it is more difficult to hit.

Shooting phase: Beam weapons: If a target is within the beam weapon's (Lance, Laser) firing range and arc of fire, the system rolls a D6 for each point of the weapon's Strength. On a result of 4, 5, or 6, the target is hit.

Macro guns and artillery: If a target is within the ship's weapon's firing range and arc of fire, the system rolls a D6 for each point of the weapon's Strength. If the result is greater than the enemy ship's armor rating, the target is destroyed.

The system keeps track of two values: User HP starting from the data in the ship card and Enemy HP starting from the data in the ship card. After each turn, the system reports updated HP values. When either reaches 0, the system declares the winner and ends the combat.

All combat actions are displayed as system readouts using brackets. The system reports dice rolls, damage dealt, and remaining HP in a terminal-style format. The data is duplicated as reports from ship's officers.
