Hey guys,

I need your help in some clarifications about retiring/demobilizing fleets. Where is this happen actually? After or before players from a team achieve points to upgrade or before? Is it allowed to upgrade brand new fleet (replacing the old destroyed one) with new resources f.e. can I build 400 points fleet with original rules (one upgrade per ship etc.) and BEFORE new round upgrade it to for example 450 points to fight with the opponent with more upgrades etc.?

Thanks in advance!

P. 13 of the Conflict Rulebook:

If a player retires his fleet, his fleet immediately loses all resource points (including current turn income) and the opposing team receives one campaign point. That player's commander and any other unique upgrades or squadrons in his fleet are eliminated and cannot be purchased again by any player during the campaign.

Then that player constructs a new 400 point fleet according to the fleet building rules on page 5.

So, no, if you retire your fleet you do not get any resource points to add to your new fleet.
