The rules for creating battlegroups is simple, each battlegroup must contain 1 capital ship element and 1 support ship element as a minimum. Your fleet will contain many battlegroups but to give an example in the core box the Covenant player will have enough elements to create 3 battlegroups whilst the UNSC player could create 4 or even 5 battlegroups. It uses a point’s based system to allow players to build their fleets and the basic building block is the ‘Element’, an Element is a 60mm x 60mm base which represents a unit of ships and these elements are grouped together into battlegroups.
