Starbases: 1 hit, 0 hit, 2 hit, 1 hit. Cruiser: 1 hit. 5 hits for 2 pts each.

Starbase roll stands; cruiser roll ignored as it no longer exists.

This is different that Tatts shooting at Khell. In that case all the targets have equal specs. Not so here. At 2 pts per shot the dreads take 3 hits, the cruiser 2, and the fighters 1. Khell can

• destroy 1 dread and put the other dread at 1/5
• destroy 1 dread and 1 cruiser.
• destroy 2 cruisers and put 1 dread at 3/5
• destroy 2 cruisers and 1 interceptor.
• destroy 1 dread and 2 interceptors.

Those decisions are not just tactical. Strategy is involved since there are ships from 3 different species with differing board positions and resources. So I have to wait on Khell.

The options change but still need targeting information. At 2 pts per shot the dreads take 3 hits, the cruiser 2, and the fighters 1. Khell can

• destroy 1 dread and 1 interceptor.
• destroy 1 dread and put a dread at 3/5 health.
• destroy 1 dread and put a cruiser at 1/3 health.
• destroy 1 cruiser and 2 interceptors.
• destroy 2 cruisers.

At least I think those are the possibilities. did I miss any?

[Khellendros]

I'll destroy Tatts' dread and take a cruiser down to 1/3 health. Supposedly, my chances of winning have now risen from 6% to 45%. Colour me sceptical

Yeah, I see that now. Fuck me. It's the syntax screwing me up. 1#1d6x6 means 1 set of 1 six-sided die with a hit level of 6 or better. But I'm seeing the "x6" part and calling a hit.

So re-roll from Khell's engagement 2. I'm going to quit the syntax and just add the shields/computers manually. "easier" turns out not to be "better'.

Sorry.

Would you be upset terribly if I did the re-roll tomorrow? I'm very sleepy. But you're the one up at 3 in the morning.

No worries, do it tomorrow. As you say, it's pretty late for me anyway

I think you should just do the roll for the third starbase, and leave the others as they are already cough cough.

Yeppers. The mistake was the starbase was alive so it gets to shoot. That's exactly how I handled the now defunct engagement 3. Which starbase 4 missed twice by the way.
