I can't remember off the top of my head, is there a limitation on how many auxiliary combatant class ships the LDR can construct per turn?

By Stewart Frazier (Frazikar2) on Saturday, June 03, 2017 - 09:53 pm: Edit

ME - 714.21 - 4 Auxpods per turn, 1 SAC per turn, 1 LAC per year.

By Richard B. Eitzen (Rbeitzen) on Saturday, June 03, 2017 - 10:42 pm: Edit

Yeah, not sure if the LDR can do two SACs in Turtle's game here.

In FTL I did LDR t14 eco and could only do one SAC.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Saturday, June 10, 2017 - 11:32 am: Edit

The Klingons and Romulans have crossed the borders.

Hydran Front Battles in 0114, 0215, 0318, 0416, 0515, 0716, 0915, 1017, 1116, 1217, 1219.

Gorn Front Battles in 4408, 4506, 4608, 4808, 4903, 5003 and 5008.

The Gorn BATS will all die. It is just a matter of how much damage they do as they die.

The Hydran BATS will all die. It is just a matter of how much damage they do as they die.

The SBs in 0215 and 1017 will be interesting. The SB in 0716 will die.

The Hydrans appear to have saved the planet in 0416 with a PAL lead reserve fleet.

I lost track of a Klingon fleet and thought it hadn't moved when it did.

The Gorn 6th is stuck on their SB.

So the other half of the turn will be interesting.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Thursday, June 15, 2017 - 07:02 am: Edit

Hyrdan Front Combat Results:

All Hydran BATS are dead. Lyrans suffer crippled 2xDW. LDR suffers crippled DW, MP and MPE.

Game has resumed after a short hiatus for a new gamebox to test.

Some quick changes to note:

Lyrans and Kzintis may build BCHs and BCVs subject to existing limits. This resulted in the Kzintis changing their turn 3 CVS to BCV and the Lyrans changing their BC and CVL to a BCV and another CWE respectively.

The Paravians raid province 4501 and are lucky enough to disrupt the province. The Gorns called up a POL which did no casualties while the Paravians did 1 casualty.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Saturday, August 19, 2017 - 11:19 am: Edit

Op moves have started. The Klingons are currently attacking the Hydran planet in 0718.

The Lyrans and LDR are attacking the planet in 0416.

The Lyrans are attacking the starbase in 0215.

There is a pin battle in the Hydran-Vudar neutral zone hex of 1319 between the Vudar and Klingons.

More moves forthcoming.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Monday, August 28, 2017 - 11:24 pm: Edit

The Hydran capital hex is being assaulted.
Pin battle in 1117 between Hydrans and Klingons.

Vudar base in 1419 is under attack.
Vudar FFs in 1916* and 1919 are under attack.
* The Vudar captured this planet last turn.

On the other side of the map.

Pin battle in 4605 between Gorns and Roms
4705 under attack by Roms and Paravians
SB in 4806 under attack by Roms and Paravians
BATS in 4805 and 5006 under attack by Paravians

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Wednesday, September 06, 2017 - 12:34 pm: Edit

All the battles in Gorn space have been resolved.

A POL dies in 4605. The Romulans and Paravians retreat from 4705 without a fight. The BATS dies in 4805 and 5006. A Gorn DD dies in 5201.
The Coalition cripples in the above battles are:
Paravian: DD, 2xFF

In 4806 the tale of damage is strange. Gorn captains in this battle are being courtmartialed for cowardice in the face of the enemy. VBIR rolls included two 1s when the Gorns chose a BIR of 4 and the Romulans 3. Along with the VBIRs of 1, the Gorns rolled a 1 and 2.
Crippled:
Romulan: 3xSP, 4xSK, 2xSKE
Gorn: BC

Dead:
Romulan: SPC
Gorn: DD

By Bill Steele (Bill83501) on Wednesday, September 06, 2017 - 05:10 pm: Edit

The Star base is dead as well in 4806

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Wednesday, September 06, 2017 - 11:28 pm: Edit

Bill, are you going to courtmartial a certain Lyran Admiral or group of captains?

The Lyrans captured 0416 with a crippled FF.
The Klingons killed the HN in 1117.

In 0215 combat was brutal in a different way. The Lyrans chose to come in and fight under the guns of the Hydran starbase. The results are:
Crippled:
Lyran: BC, 3xCA, CW, CVL, 2xCWE, DWE, DD
Hydran: KN, CR, CU

Dead:
Lyran: 2xDW, 2xDD
Hydran: LC, DG

Depot:
Hydran: SA

SIDS:
Hydran: SB (4 SIDS on non-crippled side)

By Bill Steele (Bill83501) on Thursday, September 07, 2017 - 10:06 am: Edit

Yea, not the best outcome. I wanted all 3 cruisers, missed the last by 1 pip. I will send the sub-par admiral and captains to the northern front, nothing happening up there!

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Tuesday, September 12, 2017 - 07:19 am: Edit

The Klingons have devastated 0718 for crippling a F5L, 2xF5 and E4A.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Sunday, October 29, 2017 - 10:33 am: Edit

Out of Sequence comment for the Empires of the Dead game.

Even up small scale combat (310.0) can be very deadly. The Klingons took 5 casualties and the Hydrans 3 in 1117. 12 Hydran fighters vs 3 Klingon E4s.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Sunday, October 29, 2017 - 05:37 pm: Edit

1117 was even deadlier. I missed that the Klingons didn't have 3xE4s, but had and E4 and 2xE3. The resulting modifiers change the results to 7 casaulties to the Klingons resulting in annihilation and 2 casualties to the Hydrans who chose to kill their fighters for both casualties.
