Yes it might make a little more sense, but I don't think that the T'loths
could take it once range closed with HCV manuverability.  In the show
we've seen fighters flying escort etc. with out a landing platform, so I
beleive that a rotation could work if necessary.  I think this is a tough
fight for the Narns as it is.  Its a fight of manuverability, not guns
though.  The Narns will have to have some nice tactic to get more than one
set of shots with their Heavey Plasma Cannons

 and add another Lias as well as a civy freighter or two (I doubt

Very true.  I'd say that 3 to 5 civilian transports could go allong as
well, under the Centuary player.  The Lias can take care of itself, and
that is probably why I refrain from adding another.

Thanks for the break down.  If I ever revise it, I might add the two
Altarian, 12 Razik to the Options section.
