The ISC raid a Paravian province totally destroying the POL that was called up to defend it. SSC rolls ISC 14, Paravians 2.

Op Moves have begun with the Hydrans moving first. Looking to exploit a perceived Lyran weakness.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Tuesday, January 23, 2018 - 04:43 pm: Edit

The Hydrans have a field day with the Lyrans and LDR with no significant Reserves in range of the chosen battle hexes. The Hydrans lose a LN to directed damage and a handful of fighters. The Lyrans lose a SAV, SAR, and DWS. The LDR lose a province holding FF.

In 2 of the 3 battles in Kzinti space the Kzintis have an EFF crippled in return for killing a D7 F5L, 2xF5, and a F5J. The Kzintis have also devastated and captured the neutral zone planet in 1506.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Friday, January 26, 2018 - 07:16 am: Edit

In the last battle in Kzinti space the Kzintis lose an EFF to directed damage while killing a Klingon D6S in return.

In Paravian space the Gorns destroy the Star Base in 5203 and capture the planet in 5104.

Dead:
Gorns: None
Paravians: SB, 2xPDU, and SAV

Crippled:
Gorns: BC, 8xCL, 3xBD, DD
Paravians: 2xDD, 5xFF

The ISC have destroyed in 5207 and 6005 at the cost of a crippled FF and some fighters.

In 5907 the ISC kill the lone Paravian FF in SSC.

In 5209 things go badly for the ISC.

Dead:
ISC: CS (Directed by mauler)
Paravians: None
Romulans: None

Crippled:
ISC: FF
Paravians: CW
Romulans FHF

In 4510 The Romulan BATS is destoryed by the ISC for a crippled FF.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Saturday, January 27, 2018 - 08:57 am: Edit

With no approach battle in 4411 the Gorns retreat to 4311.

In 4311 the Romulans are able to withdraw all 3 ships there because the last ship made it's cloaked evasion roll. The Gorns then retreat to 4310.

4310 The Romulan BATS dies for Gorn fighters.

By Richard B. Eitzen (Rbeitzen) on Saturday, January 27, 2018 - 09:17 am: Edit

If you have three ships, I think you can only withdraw one ship if the withdrawal is not unopposed.

That would mean you would need to make the cloak evasion roll for both of the other ships.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Saturday, January 27, 2018 - 11:34 am: Edit

If we made a mistake there I'm not going to worry about it. Both of us had made mistakes that helped the other player over the course of the game so far and most likely will continue to do so. We are both enjoying the game because it is letting us use empires that don't get to see much play time (Gorns, Romulans, and ISC). New empires to see how game play is changed with them and their associated rules (LDR, Vudar, Seltorians (future), Paravians and Carnivons).

The whole point of the game in the first place is to have fun. We both want to win and their is plenty of game left for us to make huge mistakes to help our opponent win the game too.

Turn 6 is complete, the last turn before the dreaded Federation enter the war.
On the eastern side of the board, the 4 powers, Paravian and Romulan vs Gorn and ISC, appears to be a fairly even knife fight. The Gorn and ISC have lost 14 battle stations and 3 Star bases. Paravian and Romulan have lost 9 Battle stations and 1 Star base. This has come with a fairly large butchers bill. The Gorns and ISC have lost only 23 hulls, 6 of them cruiser and above. The Paravian and Romulans have lost 62 hulls, 24 of them cruiser and above. Turn 6 action was limited to killing a few province raiders and running from reserves.
On the western side of the map, The Klingons cleaned up some province raiders, and raided the Vudar home world. The Vudar are a bit tougher nut to crack than I thought, it will take a few more hulls than just the Klingon home fleet to deal with them.
The Hydrans have taken the brunt of the Coalition effort. This turn saw the destruction of the Second Star base by the Lyran forces. The Hydran Capital fell at the cost of a BC and a D5, and a double handful of cripples. The BC was directed on and the D5 was a auto kill.
In the Kzinti theatre the Klingons and Carnivons have killed all but 2 border batts’ and captured 1105

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Tuesday, March 06, 2018 - 05:29 am: Edit

The Carnivons also captured 1001.

At the end of the Coalition half of turn 6 the counts of the dead are as follows:

Ships:
Coalition: 185
Alliance: 66

Coalition: 3
Alliance: 7

Raid Results:

Infiltration:

Both the Hydran and Kzinti attempts at infiltration were successful. The Hydrans killed the lone E4 in 0718 freeing the major planet and province from the evil Klingons. The Kzintis managed to kill a CL in 1001. A total of 6 ships were in 1001 resulting in all of them being eligible under the revised (537.12) rule.

The Kzintis used Blockade Running to send the WYN 7 EPs and now have a balance of 10.5 in WYN space.

The ISC raids not so good.
The CLF managed to cripple a SEH and make it retreat out of ISC space.
The CF only managed to force a SEH to retreat closer to home.
Neither ship suffered a casualty.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Friday, March 09, 2018 - 07:59 am: Edit

Alliance Op Moves have started.

In the Southwest the Hydrans have sent several ships to kill a lone FF in 0215.

A FF moved into 0413, but is pinned by a Lyran POL and DWS. The one Lyran Reserve can only reach this battle hex.

Most of the Hydran fleet reentered 0617. Most likely this is a pin battle. The SE counts are: Alliance 71, Coalition 64.

A LN, HN, FLG move to attack a province raider in 0918.

The Vudar move FFs to 1918 to disrupt the province, and 1919 to recapture the province.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Saturday, March 10, 2018 - 07:43 am: Edit

Alliance Op Moves in the East.

The Gorns have divided their one fleet in southern Gorn space to attack small groups of ships in 4509 and 4908.

Paravian province raiders are being attacked in 4805 by 3 Gorn ships.

A lone Paravian FF in 5102 is being attacked by 3 Gorn ships. The Gorns are trying to recapture the Paravian province, but that is unlikely to happen. The large majority of the Gorn Fleet is in a battle in 5103. The supplemental Romulan force in 5103 is likely to be out of supply at the end of the turn.

The Gorns are looking to retake the planet in 5104, but with 6 ships it is questionable because of the lone Paravian reserve that can reach the hex.

The Gorns created a pin battle in 5205 over the Paravian BATS there.

The ISC have mounted a serious attempt to kill the starbase in 5405 with 44 ships. The Paravians have 15 Ships, along with another 10 crippled in the hex, plus the possibility of the Paravian Reserve.

They are likely to capture the planet in 5506. However, the destination of the Paravian Reserve leaves this in doubt for the moment.

The ISC have attacked 5109 again to reclaim it. This time the opposition is a Romulan SEH, but it is in range of one Romulan reserve fleet.

A small group of ISC Police ships (3) are attacking the SEH in 5514 that survived an earlier raid attempt to destroy it.

The BATS in 5217 is most likely to draw the other Romulan reserve fleet. The ISC have sent 20 ships here to try and destroy it. The Romulans have 6 ships, but no base fighters available at the moment in the hex.

The Romulan base fighters are in 5317 where they pinned an ISC frigate that was later joined by fighters from the BATS in 5416.

The crippled SEH in 5318 is under attack from a pair of ISC FFs.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Saturday, March 10, 2018 - 12:33 pm: Edit

In Kzinti territory the created a pin battle in 1103. While this battle is likely to draw both Klingon reserves it accomplished the intended result of keeping the Carnivons off of the SB in 1102.

The Kzintis are also attacking in force the Carnivon forces on 1001.

Not sure where the Carnivon and Lyran reserve fleets will go in this theater.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Sunday, March 11, 2018 - 07:56 am: Edit

Combat for the Alliance half of the Spring of Y171 is underway and completed on the western side of the map.

The Hydrans lose 2xHN and HR. In return they kill a Lyran FF and D6D. Not a good half of the turn for the Hydrans on the damage front.

The Kzintis fair much better. They lose 2xEFF for killing a Carnivon CA and CW and a Klingon D5.

So far in the east the Gorns have recaptured the planet in 5104. No reserve showed up to contest it. This has cut 7 Romulan ships out of supply for the moment, but isn't a major inconvenience for the Coalition as the Paravians can adopt them as homeless ships.

The ISC kill the Romulan SEH defending 5109 and retake the planet.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Sunday, March 18, 2018 - 09:43 am: Edit

I don't have a good recount of the remaining battles in the eastern half.

The Gorns lose a BC and DD and have a number of DDs crippled.

The Paravians lose the planet at 5506 along with a SAR and Mon.

In 5405 They lose a FRD and a couple of cripples to the ISC's crippled CS 2xDD, and DE.

In 5508 the Paravians lose their fighters to cripple an ISC DD.

In 5318 the ISC kill the crippled SEH from a raid earlier in the turn.

in 5217 the ISC kill the Romulan BATS. The Romulans have bad luck when their FHF shocks after killing a DE.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Sunday, May 06, 2018 - 12:41 pm: Edit

CT6:

The Romulans and Paravians have a very tough turn. They attempted to to try and take too many planets and bases away from the Gorns and ISC. They only succeeded in killing 2 Gorn BATS.

The Carnivons and Klingons with some Lyran help were repulsed by the Kzinti at all of the planets and bases except for the BATS in 1205.

The Klingons and Lyrans almost managed to cut the Hydran Off Map off from the Hydrans remaining on map. The Alliance half of the turn is going to be very telling for the Hydrans.
