FG: Galactic Overlord III Game Thread

[GeneralTacticus]

It's four hours from now, but sinceI really should be in bed by the time limit I'm set, I'm moving the deadline. The turn will be posted two hours from now, or when I get LL's orders, whichever comes first.

[Skanky Burns]

Sounds good.

[Jamski]

Good to me too

[GeneralTacticus]

Turn will be posted in 20 minutes.

Round 5: Jamski Must Die

This round saw the first occasion since the fall of the Galactic Empire in which Jamski was not sending his fleet off to war. However, though one might have expected the result to be less fighting in Jamski’s corner of the galaxy, the reverse was the case, as no fewer than four Overlords sent their fleets bearing down on him.

The first to arrive was a task force under the command of Overlord Geomodder, and included, along with every ship he possessed, the entirety of the Spaced Cowboy and Kuciwalker fleets as well. Unusually enough, they were not there as allies operating alongside his fleet, but were rather under his direct command.

With this mighty force assembled under one banner, the Allies overran Jamski’s Oort Cloud picket lines in second and set a direct course for Jamski’s capital world. As Jamski’s forces scrambled to meet them, the galaxy would see the largest space battle in a thousand years.

Jamski is eliminated and all his bases are conquered.

In a spectacular display of firepower, the Allied fleet comprehensively annihilated Jamski’s defenses, and their troops marched triumphantly down the streets of Jamski’s capital. However, their celebrations were cut short by most unwelcome news: an unidentified fleet of no less than 60 vessels was approaching from the direction of Whoha’s bases. Fortunately, the fleet was still unified under Geomodder’s control, and could thus intercept Whoha’s ships before they hit anything important. As the two fleets met, Jamski’s systems were once again torn apart by war.

Whoha’s fleet is destroyed and his attack fails.

Whoha’ opening moves were, like those of Kassiopeia in his assault on Boshko, flawless; however, like Kassiopeia, he simply could not bring enough firepower to bear to eliminate three enemy fleets under one command. He did inflict some damage with his opening laser-strike against the Allied fighter squadrons, but his torpedoes simply could not overcome the weight of Allied laser fire, and what remained of his fleet became and expanding cloud of subatomic particles when the torpedoes arrived.

All other Overlords, as usual, took advantage of the confusion to continue building, with the exception of Ljube, who has not been seen in public for some time.

EDIT: Double post removed.

[Jamski]

Nice/not nice.

Orders for round 4 sent.

-Jam

[GeoModder]

Must have been a noteworthy round indeed from the GM's perspective... he posted it twice.

Btw, GT, I'm missing a Fighter Dreadnaught in my ship list.

[GeneralTacticus]

Why is it that Poly is ALWAYS overloaded whenever I want to post the turn?

[:) Smiley]

The time ya post isn't even logically a peak time. sent.

[Whoha]

Sent.

[edit] with corrections again "presidenting is hard!"[/edit]

[Spaced Cowboy]

Originally posted by Spaced Cowboy
GT, not that it will make much difference, but I also had a torp crusier (which you had marked as a battleship in the last chart and I pm'd you the correction in an email). But, I understand how things can get real sketchy right before bedtime.

With the ship count mistake you messed up every line in the combat

should be
7 vs 30 for 23 damage to me
5 vs 0 (back off) for 5 damage to skank
20 vs 0 for 20 damage to skank

From there I still have 4 titans left (one has 1 hp). I lose the crusier and one of the titans.

Skanky loses 2 of the titans and gets half damage on the other.

for the second part, no matter which titan you take, skank still loses his other titan, and I take no further damage.

GT, you shorted me a titan. Or is there something wrong with the above combat?

The 23 hit points - I lose the 4 hp crusier = 19
I lose a 10 hp titan = 9
The other titan just barely makes it with 1 hp remaining. So I have three whole titans and 1 damaged = 4 total and I build 6 more this turn.

I know that you are probably asleep now, but I need a correction, por favor.

[GeneralTacticus]

The thing is, you asked to send a fighter cruiser to attack Chaunk... which you didn't actually have. I only noticed this when I was processing the turn, so I had you send off your torp cruiser instead, which conquered Chaunk's bases but did not take part in the battle. Why it's not on the table I don't know; I probably assumed it was a casualty when I was writing up the new one.

[Spaced Cowboy]

I disagree, and I cleaned out my pms since then. But if you can remember. I tried to build 1 base and 2 battleships(1 torp, 1 fighter) on T1, you reminded me that I did not have 22 build points. Then I responded...crap I meant crusiers.

When you finally added me to the chart, you put my fighter crusier in the battleship slot (torp cruiser was okay), which I then tried to get you to correct (I assumed that it was a typo); to get it moved back to the cruiser spot. At that point you deleted it, and I've been trying to get it back ever since.

[Jamski]

The muntinious crew of that cruiser should be SHOT, Spaced. They clearly cannot be trusted to follow orders.
