C5 dead, ouch! How'd that happen?

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Tuesday, January 02, 2018 - 07:03 am: Edit

The Kzinti line outgunned the Klingon line and the Klingons exposed one of two juicy targets on the line itself. The other was a TGA+BP+DP. The TGA was in the formation bonus. Both sides chose a BIR of 3 and the Kzintis rolled a 6, coupled with a 6 on the VBIR roll it was enough to kill the C5 outright.
