the playable Tholian Heavy Cruiser with web-caster.
I've done fairly exhaustive simple combat testing of three Tholian heavy
cruisers vs three Klingon heavy cruisers. The Tholians won three, by a
combination of dice rolls and strategy. The big discovery was that throwing
a web is a risky business, since it takes a third of your energy for three
turns. And that generally doesn't work on a level playing field. So the
winning strategy is for the Tholians to destroy one opponent, so that A) two
ships can cover for the third while it casts its web over three turns, or B)
all three ships can contribute to the web and defend themselves at the same
time. If a Tholian tries to cast a web without that advantage, odds are it
will lose. But used wisely, the web is a devastating tool. The opponent's
defensive strategy has to be to make things too difficult for the Tholians
and to do everything they can take out one of the opposing CA's.
Note the way that web usage is recorded in the Simple Combat Template. Easy,
simple, pretty self-explanatory. On the first volley, all three Tholian CA's
use 1/3 of their energy to spin a web on the surviving Klingon CA. On the
second they destroy it while it is held helpless.
