DECK F Alvise da Mosto *DONE*

Light Ship Tactics is a nice SA for this unit;
  But what really makes this class weak its AA- ASW & Torp. line for 8 pts.
 With your suggested Torp. line doesn't Protect Cripple add to her Historical flavor along 
with boosting those weak values and not making her another Recco

Sorry not sure what your getting at:

They may be the biggest Italian class DD but for the shake of going over the obvious unit faults, don't most

Italian DD's give you a better value for your points. They are not the games 5 Fletchers;

You keep it in line you have another 8pt Italian DD; reminds me of the 8pt German Z class; nice conundrum

It really boils down to this lack of imagination of picking units: Forum involvement doesn't have to mean it has to pick the units.

Teams at this stage even with a few new developers are more than likely qualified to pick from suggested units.

The most popular unit doesn't necessarily mean its fits into the deck; Do you build a deck around whats popular or best

for the games growth. Wouldn't popular Tugs - Ice Bergs - Spotters and Habakkuk's make for a great Deck? 

Besides all that BULL; I guess the units open for discussion;   tough unit to make Deck worthy, not obsolete or be to much like her sisters

and yet cost 8 or not pts.

So Light Ship Tactics, Close Escort and Protect Cripple?

I think that would be an okay combo. I would like to see the Italians get another Close Escort destroyer since Camicia Nere is a pretty specific attack scenario unit. Protect Cripple provides an "offensive" SA to the package, but without it being too powerful IMO. The opportunities to use Protect Cripple are fleeting (pardon the pun), but with Close Escort it would have a little more opportunity to slip into a sector with a crippled unit. I think that makes a nice, and new, combo. If we only want two SAs then Close Escort and Protect Cripple. But I think all three would be nice. The Italians could use a DD with a little more "oomph" IMO.

Yes, cost would very likely be 8.

Except the thing most members want by far is to be able to pick the units that get into a deck. A much smaller group actually want to actively participate in card development. At least that is what I have observed over the course of these projects.

We can't win no matter how we do it.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled card development.

I wouldnt make 8 because of her sisters if she was only worth 7 in isolation

Oops, I looked at the wrong destroyers. All three prior Navigatori class have 2-1 TT.

But with the three SAs of Close Escort, Light Ship Tactics, and Protect the Cripple we should have a clean 7 pointer now IMO.

If the concern is the terrible range one torpedoes how about giving it Torpedo Run? That would help it and a companion destroyer effectively have a Range 2 torpedo.

Torpedo Run - Once per game, at the end of Sea Movement, you may move this unit and a friendly Destroyer in its sector one sector. The unit must be able to make a Torpedo attack in the Surface attack phase
