I had some family issues to resolve this weekend that delayed the update.
I have finished and submitted the Turn 1-4 SitRep to both players.
They have submitted their Turn 1-8 Orders.
A couple of break conditions have reached met and must be resolved before play can proceed.

I have created an Excel spreadsheet to track the game and provide SitReps.
A copy of this file has been uploaded to my site, you can access it HERE!

As the turns progress, the file will be updated and y'all will be notified.
I hope to get the PDF version of the current map uploaded tomorrow as well.

Please do follow along and enjoy the game, but I would ask that you refrain from providing tactical advice to either player until after the game is completed.

Thanks,

Turn 1:8 has reached the end of the Offensive Fire Phase.
Awaiting impulse activity orders and EoT stuff then I'll post the latest SitRep for all to see.

I think I rolled less than a '4' maybe twice! Hit with one bolt and my PPD didn't fire because I gave bad orders!

"Glory Zone" my ****!

Terry and myself were in a thread where we discussed suicide shuttles. I think that may have seeped into our battle plans. I have one on the board, and Terry has three. LOL

[Scoutdad]

Turn 1 is now completed.

The excel file containing the entire Sit Rep can be found HERE!

The current Ship Cards can be found here:

Eric Phillips: Federation Fleet

Terry O'Carroll: ISC Fleet

EDIT:
Federation Fleet image revised and re-uploaded to show damage shifted to the correct shield. (sorry, Eric )

Tony, there seems to be an error on the Sit Rep, the CA didn't fire because you calculated the range from the ISC to the Feds as 11 but I've put the counters on the map and the range seems be 8/9.

ETA: That should be range 7/8. The "current positions" at the top of the sitrep don't agree with the positions in the impulse-by-impulse moves. If the positions at the bottom of the table are correct, DD#1 takes about 8 internals from phaser fire alone (!) and the NCA takes slightly more shield damage. Also the PPD should fire, but the way I've been rolling I'm not sure it'll make any difference

I'll check it too. Also, if the result on my Juggernaut BB was an example of a PPD smackdown, I am sure it will make a difference.

My por juggy... revenge will be sweet.

Terry, can you reveal your PPD fire order, or do you want to keep it secret? I just want to ensure that everything is fair, and going back is no problem for me.

[Scoutdad]

Double checking now.

If I made an error, then we'll reset to Offensive fire adn proceed from there.

I think I've resolved the issue.
The Locations entered into the Final SitRep do not correspond to the final positions ofthe ISC units as submitted on Terry's typed orders.

I mis-entered the data as I was typing it.

It has been corrected and the SitRep reissued.

The range is indeed 11 hexes from teh ISC CA tothe Federation fleet.

I think I have been outmaneuvered! Something's about to eat a lot of photons.
