[D'rek]

K, i've decided I am not going to do a reaction. Let's go 5%! C'mon horribly-outmatched cruiser, you can do it!

[Tattersail_]

Okay i'll pass next go.

Who is left to go this turn?

[EmperorMagus]

I pass on the next go.

[twelve]

I want to know if EM passes and if IH does a reaction before I place my last move order.

[twelve]

Nevermind. Now that EM has passed then I will

Move Dreadnaught in Mu Cassiopeiae (108) to GC
Move Dreadnaught in Beta Aquilae (211) to Beta Leonia (103)
Move interceptor in Eta Cassiopeiae (225) to unknown named hex (213)

[twelve]

Pass after that.

DUNN DUNN DUNN!!!!

Lot's of carnage happening this go around. How are you going to do the battle rounds D'rek?

[Tattersail_]

So IH could react still and so could EM I think. D'rek will let us know.

[twelve]

Yes they can but EM is already super close to catastrophic bankruptcy and IH may do something but probably won't use an action. Unless of course he wants to throw away a dreadnaught.

[twelve]

So just a heads up I will be in a meeting the next couple of hours so if D'rek gets to all the battle resolution and she needs anything from me it will probably have to wait. Or I could just put in some provisionals.

In the Galactic Center. If by some miracle I don't kill the Ancient retreat whatever remaining ships I have.
In Beta Leonis have my missles target and kill as many cruisers as possible and let CF decided where to fire my little piddly ion cannon.

Properly

I will do individual rolls for ship types and you guys will have to decide how to allocate them and stuff. You can submit provisional choices to make it go faster, if you want

ie:

"No retreat, kill the dreadnaughts first but use plasma weapons on cruisers instead if it would only deal 1 dmg to a dread. Once all the dreads are dead, let me put in a new provisional"

^^that sorta thing.

It has gone:

Tatts - move
Twelve - upgrade
EM - pass
Khell -
IH -
D'rek - no reaction
Tatts - pass
Twelve - move
EM -
Khell -
IH -
D'rek -
Tatts -
Twelve - pass


So everyone could do 1 reaction b/w Twelve's move and pass, if they want. Khell and IH could do 2.

Do your interceptors retreat from Beta Leonis after shooting their missiles?

[Imperial Historian]

OK I have achieved my goal of stopping that other dread helping CF so pass

I don't have any interceptors in Beta Leonis. The retreat was for the GC back to Mu Cassiopeiae if my dread is destroyed and all my missles have been fired. I don't think I can retreat out of Beta Leonis with my Dread unless I can influence the GC before the battle in Beta Leonis takes place.

It would have been tight with my 3 interceptors and and one of your dreads so I couldn't risk not gaining the center this round even if it means I lose one of my Dreads in the fight over in Beta Leonis.

CF, in the Battle for Beta Leonis, after my missles fire then any of EM's cruisers that survive get to shoot. He should still have one cruiser left, maybe two, so when you fire with your interceptors you should target his Dreads if you can kill one otherwise take out the rest of the cruisers instead.

Right, nvm.

[cerveza_fiesta]

I think I officially have to pass to advance things. I am out of cash so that's all I can do.

Good plan Twelve - target cruisers off the bat and if we can get rid of all of them, my interceptors get the init advantage in round 2.


Right then. In sequence for first round of combat:
===============================================
1. Twelve's missiles fire and destroy cruisers with any hits.
2. EM's cruisers exercise initiative advantage and fire whatever he wants.
3. With my remaining interceptors I roll and one of 2 situations occurs:
----3.a. Combined hits are sufficient to destroy a dreadnought outright, so target the dread, spillover damage goes to cruisers.
----3.b. Combined hits are insufficient to destroy a dreadnought outright, so target and distribute hits to kill as many cruisers as possible.

4. EM's dreads fire and take out whatever he wants.
5. Twelve's dread (if still alive) fires its cannon and targets cruisers (if any remain).
5. Repeat for Round 2 (minus missiles) with any allied forces still flying at that point.

===============

I guess if there's some confusion as to strategy when doing the rolls D'rek, just pause and wait for advice. It'll be slower that way, but it will avoid butthurt on everyone's part.

All that look right twelve?

[twelve]

Except for the part that my Dread fires last with it's cannon. Everything else looks about right. My Dread gets to fire with your interceptors before EM's Dreads fire, that is if EM hasn't killed it with any of his remaining cruisers. He has to decide to kill my Dread even though your interceptors do more damage. As it stands this fight could go either way though at the moment I think we have a slight advantage in the odds. It all hinges on how many cruisers I can take out with my missles.

[D'rek]

I've started doing the rolls, will post updates here as I go.

Eta Cephei battle is over - D'rek wins against the lone ancient.

Zeta Draconis battle is underway.

Engagement Round 1:
Ancient Ships deal 2 damage to Khell's dreadnaught.
Khell's cruiser misss.
Khell's dreadnaught misses.

Engagement Round 2:
Ancient Ships dead 1 damage to Khell's dreadnaught.


Khell, what do you want to do? Keep shooting? Try and retreat the dreadnaught?
