Battlegroup Sarcus at full strength (1985 points) contains;
The capital ships:
The Mars class Battlecruiser "Fist of Faith" with upgraded gunnery sensors - Ld 7 - 285pts
Admiral Sarcus' flagship the Dictator class Cruiser "Fortitude" - Ld 7 - Renown 1 - 220pts
The Tyrant class Cruiser "Incendrius" with upgraded batteries - Ld 7 - 195pts
The Lunar class Cruiser "Iron Duke" - Ld 8 - 180pts
The Lunar class Cruiser "Centurion" - Ld 7 - 180pts
The Dauntless class Light Cruiser "Vigilant" with Torpedo Tubes - Ld 8 - 110pts
The escort squadrons
3 Firestorm class Frigates "Lexus Squadron" - Ld 7 - 120pts
3 Firestorm class Frigates "Costa Barbarus Patrol" - Ld 6 - 120pts
3 Sword class Frigates "Omega Flotilla" - Ld 7 - 105pts
3 Sword class Frigates "Gamma Flotilla" - Ld 7 - 105pts
3 Sword class Frigates "Alpha Flotilla" - Ld 8 - 105pts
2 Sword class Frigates "Stalwart Patrol" - Ld 6 - 70 pts
4 Sword class Frigates "Vanguard Flotilla" - Ld 7 - 140 pts
3 Cobra class Destroyers "Widowmaker Squadron" - Ld 9 - 90pts
2 Cobra class Destroyers "Minnow Squadron" - Ld 8 - 60pts
Quite heavy on frigates among the escorts as I find the 5+ Armour and 2 Turrets, plus increased firepower, invaluable. Although there are some Cobras in there as coordinated torpedo attacks with a Mars or Dictator, along with their bombers, can really put the hurting on anything short of a Battleship.
Pretty standard spread of capital ships really. I'm itching to try the Tyrant and its long-range guns (a rare novelty in Imperial cruiser design) but feeling a bit short on Dauntlesses. If I get a run of Raids it's a shortage that may tell but hopefully my first batch of reinforcements will be a few more of the little beauties.
