DECK F HMAS Quickmatch/Quiberon *DONE*

     A thought on this unit; Can not deny Australia is about Cruisers so a DD that has the proposed SA's this unit has is useful to them.

BUT is it just, how would you say it;; too Cruiser friendly;;

     how useful of a unit without them???

Cruiser Escort;; gives it the value of helping Cruisers without using all the units cost value;;
        Its the third key to help with AA, MG's and Subs if needed

  An AA SA [ you can choose one of many or add a new] also helps with Cruisers but allows that value to be used in other scenarios;;

Which at 8 pts leaves room for a third SA something well established and not in the Aussie DD make up

 Establish Screen; helping Cruisers, but again not just for cruisers.. same with Opening Salvo or Protect Cripple.

 AS i said just some thoughts!!!

Do we like that at 7?

Do we want to add Establish Screen and make it 8 like waratsea4 suggested?

Playtested this unit against both the Japanese and Germans. It proved to be annoying to deal with (especially against the Japanese Air/Carrier/Cruiser build) the German Sub/Battleship build fared much better. The Screen was just enough to abort some planes, while the -1 attack die (not -1 to each attack die) from ship mains was annoying from cruisers... the German Battleship mains just didn't seem to care.

It is important to note that since there were 8 in the class this unit will be unlimited for the game.

For the build I usually paired The Quickmatch with the Arunta (6pts) and a Cruiser... That's 3 ships per sector for 13+Crusier cost. It's becomes a somewhat annoying yet competitive swarm build.

It did beat the Japanese, but lost to the Germans.

Honestly 8 points for what it does would still be worthwhile.

Thinking more on this, I like it at 7 because it's very dependant on being with a cruiser to be effective which may not be the most desired sector configuration

Any further comments? Has anyone tried it?

au64 not a problem mate.

Costing for synergy doesnt work because the grading on cost is too coarse. The early team decks definately costed for it. Part of the reason those decks are somewhat conservatively costed

Coming to this late. The synergy can't be ignored. This thing will live beside cruisers and make them harder to kill.  Alaska is an extreme case and not likely to be seen often for a number of reasons, but even restricted to a pure UK or Australian build, its notably good.  I think 8 is justifiable.
