Thanks Paul !

A quick update, we are now processing T20 orders which is due by Sunday Oct 19.

Once I process the T20 moves, I will post a T20 Battle Report here so you can follow the action and or offer to fly a battle or 2 should we need help.
Admirals decide on which battles to farm out.

If you have any questions, please ask me !
Thanks.

Cheers
Frank

Folks,
T20 Update
Hydrans and Klingons move orders are done.
I am processing battle reports for them today.

Fed orders are in and I hope to process them today/tomorrow.

By Frank Lemay (Princeton) on Wednesday, October 09, 2024 - 06:10 pm: Edit

3 in and processed, 1 more to go !

Cheers

T20 has been cycled and the battle report is out.
The format I use does not blend well here when I copy it so I will post a modified T20 battle report.

Things to know,
We use a CBpv system for fleet sizes, currently in Y177 Winter we are at 600 CBpv.
The numbers you will see in brackets indicates the fleet size.
If it is over 600, the Captain flying the fleet [or Admiral may do so] indicates which ships are 'Sleepers', a phrase coined by the late Charles Carroll [Chuck] who passed away in 2022.
RIP Chuck.
These ships are on the map and when a freindly ship gets blown up, they can be released and join the battle as long as their CBpv is not over the current limit.
If the fleet is 900 or over, ships over this 900 CBpv are known as permanent sleepers, these ships can never be released and can never participate in combat but they are still on the map, usually Captains use these ships to plow through a mine field etc. or escape via a designated Warp Point.

Quite often ships enter a sector from different entries based on the campaign map which makes for some interesting starting positions !
What I post will be a general battle situation, the actual entries, ships involved will not be posted as there are too many variables and I am not that fast on the keyboard. :>)

However, if you are interested in flying a battle, let me know for further details keeping in mind Admirals hire out when they have no time to fly etc.

That is it in a nut shell.

On to the T20 Battle report Y177 Winter(600 max CBpv)
There are 19 battles for T20, down from 26 on T19.
Keep in mind a lot of battles are 1 sided so an end result is usually negotiated.

Folks,
DH and I wrapped up T5 last night in AB T20 #3.
Hydrans continue to wreak havoc on the ground bases while the Klingon fleet pounds away at the Hydran ships for doing so.

Hydran damage
TEM+ Success 3/33/33/33/33/33 with 7 internals, 1 CDR used
3 St 2 are KIA,
8 St 2s on board and getting reloaded and 2 with internals [6 and 1] but not crippled
1 St 2 still on the map
TEM R8 north west of the planet

TAR Warhammer 10/24/24/24/3/3, no internals but she is R1 to the planet out of the 2 ground bases arc of fire but in the arc of the lone DEFSAT at R4

BAR Trident 21/0/24/24/24/30 with 28 internals, no CDR used as yet
1 St 2 is crippled and on the map
5 St 2 on board getting reloaded,1 has 6 damage
BAR R11 north west of the planet

Klingon Damage
GBDP[C] and GBDD[D] and 1 DEFSAT have no damage
Rest of the ground bases are KIA
4 DEFSATS are permanent sleepers so not in play.

C5BKy Kommander Kang 0/33/32/32/32/19 with 24 internals on T5, no CDR used.

MON 35/33/32/33/32/33 with no internals.

D5Ly Merciless has no damage of any kind.

Fleets are about R15 ish apart.
Klingon fleet about R13 west of the planet.

Both sides have offered the other to leave and both sides have declined !!
It's going to be a long battle !!
Hydrans have until T20 to resolve the situation or leave quickly before getting LIS

T6 continues tomorrow morning at 9 am EST.

Cheers
Frank

By Gregory S Flusche (Vandar) on Wednesday, December 11, 2024 - 06:48 pm: Edit

sounds rough for both sides.

By Frank Lemay (Princeton) on Thursday, December 12, 2024 - 09:16 am: Edit

Yep.
This sector, 620 Tamakan, is 2 jumps away from the Klingon HW so Dave is going to spank my Hydrans as much as he can!

In the post above, you will see in #3 the Hydrans have an excess of ships, the LGE fleet [LGE,TR+,CU,LM and HN] warped into this sector randomly [determined by a D66 die roll] when they came out from LIS[Lost In Space].
On T4, I sent this group minus the HN through the warp point that head towards the Klingon HW.
I figured I may as well take advantage of the LGE group but I will still pay a hefty supply cost for all Hydran ships here as a result of the Oversize Bpv penalty, currently at 1200 max.

Hydrans now have 2 TARs and a HN ready to join the fight when I start to lose ships.

Klingons have a D7BUK, D5S and a D5 ready to join the fight should the Klingons start to lose ships.

This sector also leads to 4 other Klingon sectors that my Hydrans are trying to access.
Should the Hydrans win, any Klingon units in these 4 sectors are now out of supply, basically it will cost more [double] to operate the ships in terms of supply costs and WS costs.

One of these 4 sectors is also under Hydran attack from a different direction.
That battle is #5 which Dave and I will play after #3 is done.
This sector 817 Basemji accesses the other 3 Klingon sectors.

The campaign map is public knowledge.

A important sector

By Frank Lemay (Princeton) on Friday, December 13, 2024 - 02:26 pm: Edit

#2 is also an important sector, it is 3 jumps away from the Klingon HW from the SC4Z direction.
I am flying my Hydrans vs Roch flying the Klingons for Dave in this one.

Dave and I wrapped up T6 today.
He popped 2 more stingers just before they were about to land and some shield damage on the TAR Warhammer.
I popped the last Z1V.

Klingons are now near the planet, the TEM and BAR are R17 ish north west of the planet adn for som ereason, the TAR Warhammer got seperated and is R8 north east of the planet and R12 to the Klingon fleet.
Me thinks TAR Warhammer si about to get spanked on T7 albeit she did announce EM at the end of T6 to mitigate some damage !!

Cheers
Frank

By Frank Lemay (Princeton) on Saturday, December 14, 2024 - 05:54 pm: Edit

Dave and I finished T8 in AB T20 #3 battle today.
Not much happened.
With no stingers out and no drones except a couple of SPs popping near the end of the turn, it was very quiet and quick, 3 hours !

Both sides fired late in the turn scoring shield damage only.
Hydrans chose to shoot at the MON #5 netting 24 points [17 stuck and down to 15] and Klingons fired at the BAR #6 netting 21 and 18 sticking and shield down to 15.

No set date for T8 play.

AB T20 #13, Klinks vs Kzintis in a BH terrain.
I am flying the Klingons for DH vs Mike flying his Kzintis.
A brief update at the end of turn 2.

Kzintis managed to stay out of the Klingon disruptor arcs despite the excellent TM for Klingons.
Therefore, I unloaded the disruptors on his 6 LKS at R4.
Combined with phaser fire and ADDs, 4 of the LKS are now crippled. One LKS needs 1 more point and the other needs 4 more points and they too will be crippled.
The 6 LKS are R3 to the Klingon fleet.

Kzinti ships are R6 but there is a delayed move for the Klinks which will bring that to R7 on T3.1

HCM has 18 internals [#3 is down] after repairing 2 bttys,.
F5DB did take 2 internals via the #6 from Kzinti disruptor and ph 1 fire mid turn or so.

During the turn I transported a lot of TBs in an effort to trap the LKS SQN but Mike wiggled his way out of trouble !!

No set play date to continue.

Roch is flying the Klinks in AB T20 #2 vs me and my Hydrans in a HZ terrain.
Opening salutations are set for tonight at 7 pm EST.

Cheers
Frank

Folks,
2 more battles done.

#2, Hydrans vs Klingons in a HZ.
Roch was flying the Klingons for DH and unfortunately he made an error on T2.
A negotiated deal was made that left the Klingons retreating back to their HW and the Hydrans taking the field.
Hydran damage,
DE Adroit is crippled.
Some internals on the rest of the fleet except none on UH Poley.
No stingers lost or crippled, internals only.

Klingon damage,
D5C Atropos is crippled.
F5L Bandit is crippled.
F5L Doom Sword is crippled.
No damage to the rest of the fleet.

Klingons flee, Hydrans take the field.
********************************************************
#3, Hydrans vs Klingons at 620 Tamakan.
This one ended at T9.
Hydrans realized they were running out of time to seriously engage the retrograding Klingon fleet while mopping up on the ground bases so they decided to leave.
End result,
All Klingon ground bases are KIA.
MB2 is KIA and 1 DEFSAT. [4 remain]
The planet sustained 87 points of damage bringing its income for T21 at 0.
I made sure DH could not replace the destroyed ground bases next turn.
Hydrans then flee.

Damage.
TEM Success has 9 internals.

As you know, we are down to the last 5 battles of which all are in progress.
Here is what I know of these remaining battles.
***************************
#4, Klingons vs NPE Roms
I am flying the NPE Roms vs Roch flying the Klingons for DH.
T1,
Sees both sides move slowly due to the WS 1 start.
The Roms turned away and presented their #4 to the Klingons with the planet between the 2 fleets.
The Klingons discharged 8 disruptors on 1.32 and the fleets are about R26 ish apart.
T2,
The Roms continue to arm their plasma but moving a bit quicker and the Klingons are also moving a bit quicker than the Roms, no EW for either side.
On 2.25, Roch realized the Klinks were not getting to R15 so he unloaded 8 disruptors and 6 ph 1s at +0 to score 11 points damage at R20 ish which was met with an 11 point brick, nothing stuck.
T3,
The Roms are now ready to engage and slowly turn into the charging Klingon fleet.
Both fleets start at sp 19 with no EW but the Klinks have the F6S to help out in that department.
At R13, the Klinks again unload 9 disruptors and 6 ph 1s at +0 scoring 17 damage on KR Shrike #1, all of it struck.
Following imp, the Roms bump up their speed to 27 and the imp after that, the Klinks bump up their sp to 22 to keep the range open.
Despite that, the Roms did manage to get to R10 and FHA Karzan fired 2 S bolts with 1 hitting for 15 points on D7B Bloodshedder #4 reducing the shield down to 7 points.
No other fire during the turn.
T4 on hold for the time being as Roch has RL happening.

#13 is in the books.

Mike decided to make haste and depart back towards the Kzinti HW on turn 4.
HCM Battle of Darkened Paths took 22 internals while Klingon owned ship KN Shiratsuyu took 21.

Klingos take the field while the Kzintis flee back home.

This leaves 4 battles remaining.
