This game is off!

I have received EA from both players and have compiled the EZ SitRep.

It has been sent to both players and movement orders are forthcoming.

Aye - I spent ages being totally undecided as to which of the more usual ships I would take and in the end decided to go with something different.

Malleman should just about be waking up to the fact that he is doomed and surrendering within the next few hours. Wink

Best eyebrow raising ship has to be the monitor pick though!

Monitor!
I agree with that. As soon as I received the emailed selection, I thought "Hmmm..."

I think the Monitor would be a much better ship as part of a fleet. One on one, the max speed of 8 is going to be a huge handicap.

But with 6 photons, it'll have a huge first punch.
You might not get a second punch, but the first will certainly hurt.

Boy I thought my firepower was a bit on the light side. It is positively overpowering compared to 'that'!! And that was a full spread of the so called wonder weapon, or were you firing pseudo photons and holding back the real ones Razz

Funny. When I threw those four dice and saw the numbers, I had this vision of Matt going apoplexic and struggling to say something along the lines of, "...ACK!...."
