Again, I was the Fed in this battle. I knew I'd need a good arc and power ship to defeat two smaller ships.

Turn 1: Both of his ships came in at speed 16 at different angles (Bad Move). I proceeded forward at speed 8. I ended 9 hexes from the E4 and 12 from the E5. He scored minor damage to my #1 and #2 sheilds, while I Used my energy to bring 3 photons to fully overloaded status.

Turn 2: My opponent's plan was to get his E4 to overshoot my pursuing CS. However, he miscalculated and ended in the exact same hex as me. I think you can guesswhat happened next. With his E4 Destroyed, and one unoverloaded photon left, I attacked the F5 and scored four internals. Throught the whole turn the only internal I took was a burn through from the E4. I beamed four marines to the F5 under the delusion that I could capture it. I took out one enemy marine and he destroyed three of mine.

Turn 3: Bottom line is that I Smashed A whole lot of internals through his rear sheild and did a Hit-and-Run to get his last distruptor. He managed to get 7 damage through my forward sheild. At that point he forfieted and I counted that as disengagement for victory purposes.

Federation: 70.15 points (Minor Victory)

Klingon: 14.5 points (Draw)

We're one-for-one. I'll post the final match once we play it.

Victory conditions raising their ugly heads again.

Y'see, in my eyes, that's:

Feds: Kicked a$$
Klinks: A$$es kicked.

End of story. None of this 'draw/minor victory stuff ;)

Maybe Kang's rather flamboyant descriptives of victory levels should be in the BoM book???

And before anyone wonders if "descriptives" is a legitimate word, remember "strategery?"

True. I think the problem is counting a forfeit as a 'forced disengagement'. A forfeit is a 'surrender'. If you forfeit to a Fed, he might let you leave peacefully. If you forfeit to a Lyran, you end up as the guest at dinner. So, I'd count a forfeit as a crippled ship at best. But either way, in the minds of the players it is pretty clear who won, and who lost.

Anyway, nice battle description, Pinecone. Better than my rambling accounts.... ;)
