What is a Task Force and how will it work in MOO3? Will the Task Force formation mimic that of the modern navy?
• A Task Force is a group of ships that you can issue an order to. The order is issued during the Planning Phase in the Pre Battle Combat Screen, with each Task Force represented by a ship icon. The order will then be executed in the Combat Phase. Task Forces act and behave, under the command of the captain, just like you expect a real navy force to act. A TF (Task Force) is made up of three sections: pickets (which scan the area, gather information, and conduct light harassing tasks), escorts (which intercept dangerous ships, fighters and missiles) and the core section, which is the “meat” of a TF.
