Yep...
I thought the same thing as I was moving the units.

May I ask what software you use for your hex grid/tokens/etc?

CorelDraw.

I Downloaded the hex map from the ADB website and imported the PDF.
The counters were just created from scratch.

The actual .cdr file is about 3.5 megs, but it's also done in layers to facilitate manipulation.
Once I rotate / move the units as needed, I just crop the relavent portion out and convert to a smaller .jpg.

In case anyone is curious... The movement / EA / Impulse activity segmants are tracked in an excel spreadsheet (which can be found about half way down page 2)

Latest update:
Turn 2, Impulse 1 movement has been completed.
We are currently at the start of the Offensive Fire phase.
Fire orders have been issued but not yet resolved.

Here's where everone is at:

I maneuvered well, but because of my orders, fired too soon. PBEM can be a challenge.

I learned that in my first PBEM game.
It's a balancing act between getting proper firing orders to the moderator...
Either you fire too soon, or even worse... you fire too late.

But you do get better with experience.

Well, its a wash because Terry's PPD would have caused a lot of headache to me if it had gone off.

Launch Seeking Weapons complete:
Federation NCA launches drone (designated FD-6) from DRN Z at ISC CA Liberator
Federation NCD launches drone (designated FD-7) from DRN X at ISC CA Liberator
Federation NCD launches drone (designated FD-8 ) from DRN Y at ISC CA Liberator
Federation NCD launches drone (designated FD-9) from DRN Z at ISC CA Liberator
Federation NCL launches drone (designated FD-10) from DRN Z at ISC CA Liberator

ISC CA launches Plasma Torpedo S (designated PS-1) from PL (B) at Federation NCL
ISC CA launches Plasma Torpedo F (designated PF-1) from PL (C) at Federation NCL
ISC DD1 launches Plasma Torpedo F (designated PF-2) from PL (B) at Federation NCL
ISC DD2 launches Plasma Torpedo F (designated PF-3) from PL (B) at Federation NCL

The map:

Didn't the FF fire it's plasma-F as a bolt last turn? So the CA should be launching an S and an F torp, and the FF launches nothing.

Yep. My bad. That's what I get for making notes on a coputer print out as I'm in-between inspections at work.
Same number of Torps... same targets, just need to revise the Launching Units!

edit: Done!
My master copy of the map has been updated, so the change in PF-1 location will be corrected in the make SitRep.

Here's a teaser of things to come...
I'm waiting for additional info before completing Turn 2, Impulse 3; but here's where things stand as of movement Sub-Pulse 3:

Image temporarily disabled while error on the part ofthe moderator sorted out... revised image to be posted soon.

OK... Here's where things current stand:
Turn 2, Impulse 3, Sub-Pulse 3:

...Whoa. /off_Keanu

See how the cowardly Federation runs in FEAR from the awesome power of my gunline!! Or maybe it's the plasma. Whatever.
(Note: this is at FLEET scale, so that's twice as much plasma as it looks if you're used to Squadron Scale.)

Edit: I think showing Eric's ships the down front shield on the DD must have initiated a break condition. Curses!
