the turn point counters are there...
The baseline speeds are posted in the start of turn notes...

You can count from turn point to ship and then see when they can turn again fairly quickly.

Er...I'm dumb. My brain didn't process the little text in the cells; it was looking for counters . It's all already there!

The earlier versions had colored counters... but hey got to be too much unecessary clutter - so I scrapped the counter and kept the text.

This has been fun to watch. Thanks for sharing the progress guys.

Turn 2, impulse 7 just completed.

Lots of action (and a few un-intended consequences, i think...)


Waiting for both players to rebid Impulse 8 due to multiple break conditions.
Once that's doen - I'll post Turn 2 for everyone to see.

The anchor worked!! I never expected those suicide shuttles to actually HIT anything. I also made an error in plotting the movement of Eric's drones, now the Star Cruiser has a down #4 shield. Off all the things to get hit, why did it have to be a phaser?! mutter, mutter...

Jusr finished Turn 2:
Terry's ISC Ca fired it's PPD at the damaged NCA, scoring with all 4 pulses.

The end of the turn saw a few repairs... and the NCA shifted some disabled shield boxes around.

As Turn 3 starts, Terry applies 1 point of power to continue the tractor beam already held by the FF.

Here's the map:


Turn 3 will be coming soon:

The ISC ship cards can be found here!

Well, Terry, I am putting this out there now: seeing as how I have you right where you want me, this is your last chance to surrender.

LOL the ISC will give you the option to retreat if you promise to give up your war-mongering ways!

I'd be scared if I were you, Terry...

Just wait til the cloaked Federation BB shows up!

It's amazing what you can get away with by bribing the moderator with chocolate truffles...

Speaking of that, should I send a check or pay you on PayPal for that cloaked BB?

FC0001 - Turn 3 is underway.
Impulse 1 saw the remaining Fed drones destroyed as was the ISC suicide shuttle.
The NCD fired on Ph-1 at the frigate for 5 points of shield damage...
while the ISC frigate fired 2x Ph-1 and 2x Ph-3 at the NCA for 16 points damage.
In what has to be the oddest damage allocation I've ever seen, the NCA has 7 boxes remaining:
1 Center Warp, 1 Shuttle, 1 Bridge, 1 Photon and 3 FRAME.

During launch seeking weapons, the NCA launched it's sole remaining shuttle as a 15 point suicide shuttle into the tractored frigate at range 1.

Here's a peek:
