Romulan Weapons and Systems
 Plasma Bolt
Launchers (PBLs) - From FT Fleet Book 2
used by the Phalons. Fires a big ball of
plasma every other turn placed before movement up to
30mu away with a strength equal to the weapon class.
Plasma Bolts may be targeted like a fighter group and
strength reduced. Explodes after weapons fire and
damges all ships within 6mu with full a number of full
D6 damage equal to the current strenght of the Bolt.
Screens can reduced the effect. See Fleet Book
2 for a full description.
 Cloaking Field - From the More Thrust
supplement, Cloaking must be included as a movement
order when it is to happen. Cloaked ships may not
fire PBLs or any other weapon.
The rules in MT have
you take the mini off the table and for an amount of
turns you indicate, movement plotting is done and when
the turn to appear happens, perform the movement orders
from the last known spot and see where the ship is now
and play as normal.
Here is an alternative that may
fit the source material (Balance of Terror episode)
better: The cloaked miniatures stays on the table but
may not be fired upon until Targeted. To find a
cloaked ship, opponent must use a fire con to spot the
ship, this fire con can not be used to target this or
any other ship in the firing phase. Roll a d6 for each
fire con dedicated to finding the cloaked ship and read
as regular beam dice and hits totaled. If the result is
0 hits, can not target cloaked ship. 1 hit, can target
cloaked ship but attacks resolved as if 200% actual
range. 2+ hits, target but as if 150% actual range.
