Can we get the tree set up so we can report results please?

Sorry. Meant to do that last weekend. I should have time to work on it tomorrow.

Moose and I are playing tonight, 7:00 pm ET, GRN (me) vs KLI (Moose).

Peter beat my Klingon. No way to report yet.

bakija (GRN) over Moose (KLI)

T1: GRN goes 18 moves, has B enveloped, a weasel, some reinforcement which was irrelevant. KLI goes 21/28 with 4 standards. We move up the map. I slip in a bit. At R14, I pitch out enveloper B. KLI doesn't turn off immediately, so I do. KLI shoots my #5 for 9 damage (all sticks) with 4 std disruptors at R12 or so and turns to run from the enveloper. At the end of the turn, we are, like, 15 hexes, me facing A (after I turn back in), KLI facing E, my plasma behind him.

T2: I move 17 about 8 impulses then 24. KLI moves 28/21/28. KLI outruns the enveloper up to the W wall, vaporizing it with a P2 just as it could hit for 2. I just close in. KLI turns dir C along the S wall eventually, I turn into R4 centerline, my #1 facing his #5. I blast him with 2xF bolts, 6xP1. Both bolts hit, I knock down his shield and do 8 internals, hitting a couple power. Next impulse I HET away, so my damaged #5 is facing his 5xP1 at R5 after he turns in. He phasers me, rolls ok, leaves my #5 at 1 box after 3 reinforcement (obviously battery). Next impulse I get my rear 2P1 in his down shield, roll well for 6 damage, hitting another power, a disruptor, and a P3. We move a bit and end the turn at R9, me facing A, KLI facing B.

T3: I move 17 all turn and rearm. KLI moves 21 all turn. I just move away all turn, KLI doesn't close, and slips away while facing A most of the turn. Late in the turn, KLI launches an SP. It blossoms on impulse 32 (6x1M). KLI fixes the emergency impulse as an APR. We end the turn at about 14 hexes, my #2 facing his #1.

T4: GRN moves 9/4, KLI moves 15/28. The KLI closes in a bit, the 6xSP drones close some. At R10, I pitch plasma B as an enveloper (finished reloading this turn). KLI fires 3 disruptors, hits my #2 with 2 for 6 damage, all is blocked by reinforcement. KLI turns off. I drop to speed 4, KLI speeds up to 28. I weasel the incoming drones, avoiding collateral. KLI turns off and evades the incoming enveloper. After the drones hit the weasel, I speed up to 14 on impulse 20. We end about 15 hexes, my enveloper evaporates on impulse 32. KLI fixes a disruptor.

T5: GRN moves 14, accelerating to 24 on impulse 20. KLI moves 15/28. GRN has an S torp held, finishes both F torps this turn. We close in some. KLI turns in, speeds up to 28, we are #1 to #1. We close. At R5, I launch S+F (50 points) from my left wing from slightly off centerlined. KLI is undeterred. When we are real close, I end up turning South in DIR D, KLI end up turning DIR E behind me at R2 on a split arc (my #4/#5 on his #1/#2), but he is shooting my full #4 instead of my 1 box #5. My 50 plasma pastes him in his #3 for 22 internals after 4 reinforcement (presumably his 4 batteries). Next impulse, we both slip, and KLI ends up R1 off my #4 shield with his #2 shield. KLI launches 2xF drones and shoots my #4 for 15 damage with 3 standard disruptors. I kill his 2 drones with 4xP3 shots. Next impulse (25, IIRC), no one moves. I launch my last F torp facing F (the LS/RS Gorn Plas F arcs FTW!), KLI blasts my #4 with 4xP1, 2xP2, tears down my shield, does about 23 internals, hitting a F tube and 3 phasers among other things. Next impulse, we both move forward (forced), KLI takes my full F torp in through his down #5 for 20 more in, is mangled, and resigns. GRN is going to get 4 more P1s through the same shield the next impulse anyway.

GG! Steve often kills me when he is in his AUX, but this one went my way.

Spartan ISC victory over Zero_G Orion [thanks for the great game Geof].

[I did not report Orion loss yet, the only reporting area is currently for SS14]

(This was actually KLI #1/#6 shields, and then KLI #6 facing my #4 shield. Often, my lysdexia gets in the way of clarity).

Yeah, we do need a tree on SFBOL still; things are gonna get confusing soon without an actual tree.

Thanks!

Dan and I are going to get going 7 pm eastern tonight for a turn or two, and possibly finish up starting 11 pm eastern.

Spartan ISC vs Hyd kingzila tonight at 5 pm est

MadJack (Gorn) v Madman (Neo)

Scheduled for 7p Friday eastern.

Somebody Mad will win.

I would like the tree to be created too. I dont't participate in this one but I like to see the status of games.

By Peter Bakija (Bakija) on Thursday, October 26, 2023 - 04:57 pm: Edit

I think it is more of a "We really need a tree put up" way more than a "that would be nice" situation :-)

By Peter Bakija (Bakija) on Thursday, October 26, 2023 - 04:58 pm: Edit

Seth, did your game happen?

By Seth Shimansky (Kingzila) on Thursday, October 26, 2023 - 05:48 pm: Edit

Spartan & kingzilla played 2 turns so far. No internals for either and we have about equal shield damage. Hyd is facing G & F launched on impulse 31 about 6 hexes apart. Still working out next time to play.

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Thursday, October 26, 2023 - 08:50 pm: Edit

Tree is posted to my knowledge. Meaning as I can deduce from the thread here there are still 2 Round 1 games yet to be played.

By Peter Bakija (Bakija) on Friday, October 27, 2023 - 08:36 am: Edit

Yaa! Thanks!

Andy had to reschedule our Weds. meeting. We are now scheduled to go tonight, 7pm Eastern.

Mr Spartan you have gone radio silent on me for follow up on our game. You still want to play on?

Cadet_Stimpy (Hydran) over Droid (AUX)

T1. AUX runs at speed 21, Hydran has 17/20 split. Hydran turns out early, then swings back around and turns in near end of turn once past AUX FA arc. AUX also turns in, we end the turn with #1 shields facing, range 5 just off of centerline. 5 Aux drones on the board, fighters on the board & active T2 imp 2. Nobody fires.

T2. AUX has 31/21 split, 4 in trac. Hydran goes speed 4, has 5 in trac, 8 pt brick on the #1. AUX comes into range 4, and both ships alpha #6 to #6 (fighters throw in their fusions, but are on the #1 shield, oops). AUX misses with the OL disruptor and rolls not great with phasers, hits with their OL Hellbore, but the shield holds. Hydran rolls well with phasers, hits with both OL Hellbores & does a handful of internals (gets the disruptor, not sure what else). Hydran then WW the 5 drones on the board taking the collateral on the reinforced #1, AUX turns up the board crossing the Hydran bow, launching shuttles along the way. This allows fighters to hit range 2 off the AUX #2. AUX kills one fighter with the ph-G, and cripples the other with ph-3s, fighters return fire is something ridiculous like 1,1,1,1,3,6,1,1 and takes down the #2 and does another handful in. Hydran fc comes back up & starts clearing off the AUX shuttles (2 manned, 1 ss). Crippled Hydran fighter lands & starts repairs. AUX turns up the board for separation & launches another wave of drones, which the Hydran uses a 2nd WW on. At the end of the turn AUX concedes, with 2 down front shields & weak #1 & down several weapons, it would have been an uphill climb to get back into it.

Well played, Andy, and thanks for the game!

MadJack (Gorn) v Madman (Neo) Day 2

Scheduled for 5p today eastern.

By Peter Bakija (Bakija) on Sunday, October 29, 2023 - 12:10 pm: Edit

How does that game look currently (i.e. GRN vs THN)?

By Jack Taylor (Jtaylor) on Sunday, October 29, 2023 - 12:18 pm: Edit

Tholian has 54 shield boxes left, 30 of which are his shield 2, no internals. Gorn has shield 5 down, shield 2 at about half and 4 internals, with 2 warp.

Tholian is in position to punch the Gorn in the #4 for internals and the Gorn is currently completely out of torps.

It's still close.

I think I have played the Gorn "ok". He has probably played better overall than I have but rolled pretty horrible early. I probably should have bolted a mostly down shield but have Dice PTSD and can't make myself do it.

By Peter Bakija (Bakija) on Sunday, October 29, 2023 - 01:51 pm: Edit

Ah, yeah, the dice PTSD preventing the bolt shot against a Tholian is rough. But seems like a game!
