Captainron (ISC) vs Zero_G (GBS) got to end of turn two and saved.

From my memory,

Turn one the GBS starts in direction A speed 16/26, the ISC starts in direction D speed 17/24.
We close the range to eight on impulse 24 the GBS is direction E, ISC direction C, an enveloping G torp about 4 hexes away.

GBS fires 2x ol and 2x standard disruptors and 4x ph-1s for 27 on shield 2. ISC fires PDD 1st pulse and is absorbed by reinforcement.
Impulse 25 range 7 GBS fires 2x ph-1s and rolls two sixes ISC shield holds. The 2nd PPD and 6x ph-1s reduces the GBS shield two to 5 boxes, next impulse the GBS is out of PPD arc.

The GBS eats the enveloper after 5x ph-3s for 32 points, shield two is down, and towards end of turn ISC launches two 20 point plasma (G,F).

Turn two we start the turn at the centre right of the map, ISC speed 24/12, GBS speed 4/14.

The G was a pseudo and the F destroys the WW, the ISC launches another enveloping G that hits for 35 after 5x ph-3s for 5 in for two power and hull hits and an F hits for 11 on shield one after 6xph-3s.
GBS fire 3x standard disruptors for 6 on ISC shield 5 and 4 drones are launched. End of turn GBS repairs a shield #2 box.

(The GBS shields are a mess, the ISC has 27 to shield #2 and 6 to shield #5)


All good

Captainron (ISC) defeats Zero_G (GBS).

Turn three ISC direction A speed 0/-3, the GBS direction B speed 14/26.
The GBS ends up eating a G torp and an overloaded PPD, I concede the game before the end of the turn.

I had no real plan in this game, I did learn a lot.
Thanks for the game Ron.

All good

Or wait for tree to update?

I played in Selt and won over Hyd (Devlish).

1.01 bakija (ATC) vs DaveC (GBS)

Is confirmed for tonight, Tuesday, July 10th, 9:00pm.

I get a java server error when trying to report my loss.

Guns did not shoot well tonight. Lots of bad rolls. My Arch Cubed Nemesis (TM) gets me again.

1.01 bakija (ATC) over DaveC (GBS bb)

T1: I move 21/28, pre-allocate a HET, overload to the two FA disruptors, have a weasel. Shark moves 20/14 with 4 standards, 4 reinforcement on his #1 and #6, and 2 suicides. We close some. At about R12, I throw up a web that will solidify between us soon. We close, I end up going around the south edge of the web to get a R4 shot on the Shark. Shark launches 4 drones a little too late to matter. We get to R4, #6 to #6, about impulse 29. I blast him with 3OL (one of batteries) and 7P1. He shoots back with 2OL (batteries), 2 std, 4P1 (holding back 2 for a mizia). I hit 3/3 OLs, do fine on phasers, end up doing 16 internals after 5 reinforcement. He hits 1/2 OL, 1/2 std, does about 24 total damage to my #6. Next impulse, I HET directly away. I get a P1 and 4P3 into his down shield for 5 more in. He shoots my #3 with hit last 2 P1's for 7 damage. All told in the 21 internals, the Shark lost 2 drone racks, a disruptor, a P1, 2P3, 2 power. I just run away the rest of the turn, snagging the 4 drones in the web and putting up a snare on impulse 32.

T2: I move 21 all turn, recharge my batteries, 7 in phasers, put 3 in the WC, hold the weasel. Shark moves 14/20, recharges phasers, batteries, holds suicide shuttles. My cast web drops early, the drones get out, the shark gets a clear shot. I try and snaggle drones in the snare, but no luck. I get a R5 shot on his #1 with 4 of my P1s and a side disruptor, so I OL it with batteries and shoot him in the face for about 20 damage. I turn off, shoot him again with the other side P1 for 2 more to his face. He shoots me #4 for about 15 with his phasers. Late in the turn, I throw out another cast web to snaggle drones, Shark gets around the edge, but drones are caught. We end at R5, my #3 facing his #2. Shark fixes a P1 as a P2.

T3: I'm going to get shot here. I plot 28 till 3, 15 till end of turn, overload my facing disruptor, put a bunch in phasers, put 3 in the WC, rearm a snare (?!?), recharge batteries, hold weasel. Shark moves 0 till 15 then 9 with a TAC, overloads 3 disruptors. Impulse 1, I shoot his #2 with OL, 4P1, hit, do about 20 damage and see, like, 6 reinforcement. He launches 2 drones and blasts me with 3OL, 4P1. He misses with all 3 OLs, rolls cruddy on phasers, does about 9 damage total to my #3. So far, I have hit 5/5 disruptors on 1-4; he has hit 2/7. I throw out the snare, snaggle up some drones, and run off the rest of the turn. Late in the turn, all 6 of his drones are free and catching up, so I use a couple batteries to speed up to 24 and and the turn at about R16 from his ship and 3+ from his drones. He gets a disruptor fixed.

T4: I move 4 till 9, then 14, overload the FA disruptors, recharge all phasers, batteries, put a point in the WC, rearm another snare, hold the weasel, start arming a second. Shark moves 9 all turn, has 3 standard disruptors. Early on, I weasel, which gets 5 of his drones, but he moves them goofy so I end up having to shoot one with a P3. We just close in. At about R9, I cast a 5 hex, strength 8, W web between us, times to solidify just in time to catch the 2 drones he just launched. He turns off from the web, I turn in. The drones get caught in the web, I slip around them and through the web. We end up at R3, #1 to #1. I fire a couple back P3s at the drones, but don't kill either. He fires 3 phasers at my #1 for 11 damage. Next impulse (impulse 30) we get to R2 centerline. I blast him with 3OL (one off batteries), 8P1. He shoots back with 3 standards, 4P1. This time, I hit with 1/3 OLs, roll middle with phasers, do 42 to his 8 box #1, scoring about 39 in after he uses 3 batteries for reinforcement (saving 2 in case he can tractor). This hits a 3rd drone rack, a disruptor, 3 phasers (leaving him with 5P1, 3 disruptors, 2RX phasers, and about 25 power. But no tractors). He shoots back, hits 3/3 disruptors, doesn't roll hot on phasers does 9 internals, hitting a couple P1s and couple power. Impulse 31, he launches a couple shuttles (probably the suicides?) Impulse 32, he slips away, I turn away, leaving us at R2. He hits my #3 with a couple P3s, leaving it at 5 boxes. I kill one of the 2 drones in the web with my last P3. At this point, I have 9 internals, the Shark has, like, 50. Impulse 1 of the next turn, he can hit my weak shield with an OL and, couple of fixed P3s, but probably won't do enough to make that much of a difference. So he surrenders.

Good game. If the Shark had hit with some disruptors on T1 and 3, he probably does a lot better here.

It's because of the rearming of the snare

Contact received and responded to Sleepy Cat regarding game 2.7

Game 1.16: When are you going to play?

By Peter Bakija (Bakija) on Monday, September 03, 2018 - 04:15 pm: Edit

So yeah, where are we here?

It looks like in R1, the following games still need to happen:

1.02: Crash vs BigSlowTarget

1.03: DragoAstro vs TheGeek

1.10: Devil vs Moose

1.12: Old School vs Droid

1.16: DreadPirateRoberts vs MetalDog

Almost all of these people are known quantities who have, historically, been pretty on top of playing games. At least one of these people is the judge of the tournament.

What the wha, everyone? It has been, like, 4 months since this thing has started.

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Thursday, September 13, 2018 - 07:57 pm: Edit

Email blast sent to the above individuals. Hopefully, it will remind them that a tournament is still happening.

By Andrew J Koch (Droid) on Tuesday, September 18, 2018 - 03:24 pm: Edit

1.10 Moose conceded due to RL. Could you please advance Majeed (Devil?)
1.12 Old School conceded due to RL. Which is unfortunate because I was out of shields and would most likely not have killed him before I got zapped.

By Andrew J Koch (Droid) on Tuesday, September 18, 2018 - 03:49 pm: Edit

I also sent a private message to each open game participant.

I apologize guys for being disappeared.
THanks Paul for helping out.

Again,
I have contacted the remainning guys who need to play.
If you do have a round 2 opponent, by all means have at it.

By Andrew J Koch (Droid) on Thursday, September 20, 2018 - 10:14 am: Edit

I have one response from Game 1.02.
Crickets otherwise.

How are we doing on Round 2?

By Peter Bakija (Bakija) on Friday, September 21, 2018 - 09:08 pm: Edit

I will totally play when I have an opponent!

Same here.

Crashandburn crushes BigSlowTarget

It was a good game, came down to a surprise range 6 scatterpack, a shuttle launch oops on my part and a strong recovery from leaving a down shield to me earlier.
