FG: Galactic Overlord III Game Thread

As for Jamski's battleships - that's just plain weird, especially since I listed them as cruisers for HP purposes, but gave them Battleship firepower. Revised combat results coming up...

[GeoModder]

I saw the the HP difference, but didn't matter anymore. But perhaps check on Jamski's ship numbers as well please or am I completely out here?

[GeneralTacticus]

You are quite correct, I assume he meant to ask for cruisers but got mixed up. I'm revising the combat now.

You would be correct in both instances, but torps get a x2 bonus vs. lasers, and fighters get a x2 vs. torps. You just had the bad luck to choose precisely the wrong OOB for the first three rounds, and lost you fleet as a result.

Sth else, nowhere in your first post (the gamerule set) is mentioned that torpedo's get x2 firepower against lasers. The same counts for fighters vs torpedo's.

Combat is a simple, and yet complex, Paper-Stone-Scissors system :

Lasers    - beat - Fighters
Fighters  - beat - Torpedoes
Torpedoes - beat - Lasers

The bit about the effects of a certain weapon type beating another must have gone missing somewhere along the line. Regardless, if you check GO2, you should see it there.

Ok, I found it in the GOII thread. Could you please incorporate it in your gamerules here too? It's too much to keep track of out of ones head.

[GeneralTacticus]

Yeah, I will, once the original thread finishes loading. My internet is being very annoying at the moment.

Anyway, revised combat results are in. Executive summary: Spike still dies, but Jamski loses 4 LCs and takes damage to another (lost half his HPs, all told).

[GeoModder]

Edit: never mind, just readed your post.

[GeneralTacticus]

Jamski: duly noted. Table edits commencing...

EDIT: And complete, along with fixing the inconsistencies in Jamski's fleet numbers.

Real Physics are back in Game Life...

[Jamski]

Oh didn't even notice that my cruisers had got an upgrade.

Doesn't effect my round 2 orders though.

A round where Smiley and Ljube stay home is a rare sight indeed.

[Jamski]

GT, Am I still playing? I'm not on the chart...and I've been accused of being under the radar before, but this is crazy.
