Rho Indi v. Hydrani - Beta Hydri (224)
=========================================================
SPECIAL NOTE: I know it isn't on the first page, but in recent posts Khell said he would retreat his ship if it doesn't die in the opening foray. I will respect that command, not having been instructed otherwise. If it is pointed out to me that Khell actually instructed otherwise in the thread, I'll simply re-roll the whole combat.

1x Hydrani interceptor defending - 4 init
3x Rho Indi interceptor attacking - 5 init
1x Rho Indi cruiser attacking - 3 init

Rho Indi Interceptor # 1 fires 1x ion cannon [2] + 1 = [3] - 0 HITS.
Rho Indi Interceptor # 1 fires 1x ion cannon [4] + 1 = [5] - 0 HITS.
Hydrani Interceptor RETREATS
Rho Indi Cruiser fires 1x plasma cannon [6] + 1 = [6] - 1 HITS. - Aims at Hydrani interceptor

I'm 2 for 2. Go old farts!

Just to make sure: I can't do any influence changes and/or colonizations in upkeep or cleanup right?

@GP, Tapper & D'rek. The "Violinist of HHM" is more in the nature of a nomination rather than (just) a joke.

[Khellendros]

I'm sure there's a reason for it, but how were you able to continue attacking me after I retreated?

I shouldn't laugh too hard. Khell is pretty fucking good at playing me like a violin too.

As a matter of fact, given his recent showings, Violinist of HHM might suit him better than Saboteur.

Don't tell him that. You'll hurt his one feeling.

Hahahaha

Ponyboys of Magellan v. Ancients - Chi Draconis (203)


1x Ancient ship defending - 2 init
1x Ponyboy Cruiser attacking - 2 init
1x Ponyboy interceptor attacking - 3 init

Missile Round

Neither attacker nor defender has missile components mounted on ships.


Cannon round 1

Ponyboy Interceptor fires 1x plasma cannon [3] - 0 HITS.
Ancient Ship # 1 fires 2x ion cannon [4,4] + 1 = [5,5] - 0 HITS.
Ancient Ship # 2 fires 2x ion cannon [4,5] + 1 = [5,6] - 1 HIT. - Aims at Ponyboy Interceptor
-Ponyboy Interceptor Destroyed
Ponyboy Cruiser # 1 fires 1x plasma cannon [1] + 1 = [1] - 0 HITS.
Ponyboy Cruiser # 2 fires 1x plasma cannon [6] + 1 = [6] - 1 HITS. - Aims at Ancient Ship #1
- Ancient ship # 1 destroyed

NOTE: For expediency, I'm going to assume the loss of an interceptor isn't going to cause SS to chicken out, considering he dispatched an ancient on the first volley. He continues for 1 more cannon round at least.

Cannon round 2

Ancient Ship # 2 fires 2x ion cannon [3,5] + 1 = [4,6] - 1 HIT. - Aims at Ponyboy Cruiser #1

-Ponyboy cruiser #1 sustains 1 damage
Ponyboy Cruiser # 1 fires 1x plasma cannon [6] + 1 = [6] - 0 HITS.
- Ancient ship # 2 destroyed



Ponyboys of Magellan Emerge Victorious!
Reputation draws [3,1,1] - keep the 3.

==SUBSTANTIVE EDIT==
Twelve accurately pointed out that I mis-applied damage to the Ponyboy interceptor. I forgot that it has a hull component. Battle outcome is unaffected anyway, so I do not think a combat re-roll is warranted.


I will simply restore the ponyboy interceptor as though it had not been destroyed in combat.

If others feel I should re-roll, I'll just go with the majority.

Hey. I know that one. Retreat is a two phase mechanism. The enemy gets to take a shot at you while you're "on the edge of the hex".

A ship has to wait until it's their turn to order the retreat based on inititive.Then it has to wait for a full engagement cycle before it actually retreats.

How dishonourable.

[twelve]

Also didn't SS have additional hull on his interceptor? One shot shouldn't take it out right? Though it would have been destroyed in the second round so it's a moot point.

[twelve]

Actually it isn't moot. By the rules the shot should have landed on the cruiser and. The interceptor would get another shot.

If after the missle engagement and the Ancient Dreadnaught doesn't get hit for at least for 3 points of damage then retreat both Dreadnaughts back to Zeta Hurculis. For any round of combat after the first if at any point it requires more than one plasma cannon hit to destroy the Ancient Dreadnaught retreat whatever ships that are still alive back to Zeta Hurculis.

1x Ancient dreadnought defending - 3 init
2x Eridani Dreadnought attacking - 5 init
Missile Round - Ancient dread health bar [000000]

Eridani dreadnought # 1 fires 4x flux missiles [1,1,6,5] +3 = [1,1,6,6] - 2 HITS. - Aims 2 missiles at ancient dreadnought
- Ancient dreadnought sustains 2 damage
Eridani dreadnought # 2 fires 4x flux missiles [5,1,3,4] +3 = [6,1,6,6] - 3 HITS. - Aims 3 missiles at ancient dreadnought
- Ancient dreadnought sustains 3 damage
-Ancient dreadnought regenerates and negates 1 damage

Cannon round 1 - Ancient dread health bar [00====]

-Ancient dreadnought regenerates and negates 1 damage
Cannon round 2 - Ancient dread health bar [000===]

Eridani dreadnought # 1 retreats to NE edge of GC hex
Eridani dreadnought # 2 retreats to NE edge of GC hex
Ancient dreadnought fires 2x plasma cannon [6,6] + 2 = [6,6] - 2 HITS on the yellow-bellied varmints' backsides!-Eridani dreadnought #1 and #2 destroyed


Ancients maintain control of the Galactic Centre!
No Reputation Draw because Twelve retreated before battle's end. Is that right?

*holy shit that sucks*


...fuck

I hope I interpreted the instructions correctly. If not, I'll apply my "reroll entire combat" rule. I don't think there's a different way I should or could have interpreted those instructions though; they're pretty clear. Still, horrible outcome.
