#S5 HMS Southampton - Ready For Card

I think that's going to open it all up again if we look at the class choices. The subclass argument is not a biggy for me, marginal difference. The Edingburgh's were the obvious different's. If we had a clear choice from the whole lot I'd be looking at Glasgow and then possibly Birmingham following.

I'd still vote Southampton even if turns out different to what I first thought.

What is the Vector option?

What about just having the Establish screen SA that TrickiVic proposed with a flag for a relatively cheap option. That SA can obviously be used for both destroyers and cruisers.

Would have a vibe of control and leadership overall.

Yeah, the town choices from this starter battle are not a lot and not the best. If one of the more lengthily active options was there, we would have fallen good. Apart from Glasgow and maybe Birmingham the others had either short or average wars, similar to some of the other initial slot choices - Peary below average, Kelvin average etc. Southampton is at least symbolic as class leader and first of the new class promoted into public conscious pre-war. If we're looking for a cheap town, this doesn't have to be spectacular. If something like the option I mentioned above or variation of is not fancied, I would say just go back to having it as flotilla leader if that's whats more preferred game wise. I was coming at it more from what she represented in being, rather than adding SA's for the games sake but I wouldn't go totally against that. Has been precedence either way long before now anyway.

So, i cant find a reference to support it, as the leader of a convoy. Or i'd suggest convoy leader.

Theres not a cruiser equivalent to flotilla leader so lets just do that

SQUADRON LEADER: You get +1 initiative for each CRUISER you control up to a maximum of +3.

Good shout, suits it.

Would it be worth putting cruiser in the name - Cruiser Squadron Leader?

No further commemts?
