vs.
Mojo Bilbo - (Federation) - NCC (
Tokyo), NCL (
Olympia), NCL (
Repulse)
(NOTE: I have been very busy with two jobs and writing this report 2 weeks after the fact, so some of the details may be a bit hazy. If I have made a mistake or left aomething out, Mojo_Bilbo, plase fell free to correct.)
Round 1
The Klingons force started out in the NW corner of the map, the Feds in the SE corner. Both forces advanced across the board at spd 16. The Feds slipped on occasion to spread their squadron out while the Klingons took point with the
Demonspawn and
Dagger, with
Pestilence a hex behind. At the end of turn 1, the Klingons fired 12 disruptors at the
Tokyo, knocking it's #1 shield down to 20% of it's original strength. The Feds returned phaser fire against the
Pestilence innefectually. At the end of the turn a full spread of 8 drones was launched targeting the
Tokyo
Round 2
Both forces again approaced one another at speed 16, with the Klingon squadron launching 8 more drones, this time at the
Olympia. At range 8. a massive exhange of fire occured, with the entire Federation squadron targeting the
Dagger with all available weapons and the Klingons targeting the
Tokyo with weapons that beared at the time.
Both ships were heavily damaged, with the
Tokyo weathering it better with all it's hull boxes, the
Dagger, being the smaller ship, was gutted except for a few weapons and would have been destroyed outright had a few more photons found their mark.
At this point the
Dagger veared off, drawing pursuit from the
Repulse. The
Tokyo and
Olympia slipped to the left to handle the drone waves the best they could. with some drones eventually impacting. The
Pestilence fired upon
Tokyo with all bearing weapons. Along with drone damage, Shields 1 thru 3 on the
Tokyo were down and (thanks to
Tokyo being forced to burn all it's power and phasers against drones) allowed the
Pestilence to drop it's #1 shield and raid his port side phaser batteries, detsroying all three (anybosy who has played me knowa how extraordinary this kind of good fortune is, especially with me rolling the dice!
). Needless to say, these marines would be getting extra rations of blood wine for their efforts. The
Tokyo, in return, could do little but attack with a few ph-1s and it's probe launcher, drpping it's shield, but scoring minimal damage against the
Pestilence.
Meanwhile, the
Olympia lost it's #3 shield from drone impacts, allowing the
Demonspawn to fire through a down shield and similarly ravaging that vessel as well.
The
Dagger continued to swing around the northern climes of the map repairing a phaser and reallocating some shields, with
Repulse continnuing to pursue.
Round 3
The game lasted for another impulse, The
Pestilence blazed in to point blank range and put the
Tokyo out of it's misery via OL disruptors and 6 PH-1s. The
Demonspawn agian was able to exploit
Olympia's down #3 shield, inflicting further damage. With the
Tokyo destroyed and a badly mauled
Olympia about to be targeted with 7 drones, the Feds conceded the match.
The
Dagger did an HET to bring a few weapons to bring two disruptors to bear on the Repulse, who in turn could have taken the Dagger out, but it would have been the
Pestilence (a heavy battlecruiser) and
Demonspawn (a battlecruiser) against the
Repulse (a light cruiser) at that point. even with minimal damage to both Klingons and essentially an untouched Fed CL, the Feds had their work cut out for them.
Looking forward to the next match!
